Noah,

Remember Gvok's thread on biased sources? That was a tough nut to crack, for sure. It may require revisiting.

You've NEVER posted an article from Drudge?

Good for you!

I try to avoid it, but can't say "never".

Drudge is just a collection of links to other news sources for the most part.

Well, I'm glad you found us an impartial source.

Did you take a moment to read it? I also posted the Amazon book review. I'm sure they're biased too.

Gvok is right, Drudge is mostly links to other news sources: columns, papers, magazines (of all political stripes).

Yes, indeed I did read it. It is rife with opinion, difficult to ascertain whether it's an opinion piece or actual news. But that is often the issue with your sources.

That's not to say that there isn't a right wing slant to things from time to time on the Drudge home page. The way the Clintons are presented is a good example of this. Also the stories he chooses to run and the titles he gives them. That said, once you link to the article Matt Drudge cannot be held accountable for the content.

Noah,

I would say sources in general, not just a particular poster's sources, wouldn't you?

Which is why I always post the entire portion of any Drudge link. He (fortunately) copyrights everything.

He also has this fascination with hurricanes and other violent weather. I think he was a frustrated TV weather man before becoming the gift store operator at KNBC.
