Drudge is NOT a journalist. He's a blogger, with a fancy web site and a lot of links...and zero credibility. Once in a while, he gets something right...but then, any of us would too.

i posted the original article, not whatever drudge original quoted from it, and there is a stark contrast there, there's no denying it.
this woman is a nut.

Yeah there is a stark contrast between what was said before and what is said now but calling bias simply because it shows facts pointing to a way of thinking you don't believe in is pretty narrowminded.

Drudge doesn't so much report the facts as he rather edits and re-presents the facts. I take it you didn't read the article I posted just a couple posts before?

so not unlike michael moore? but on a much less entertainment frenzied path....
btw, the NY times is no less a liberal media organization than Fox news is a conservative organization.... so if we wanna rule out Fox news as a credibile source, out the door goes the times...
I skimmed it. I read enough and heard enough on CNN today to come to my own conclusion that she's a moron that needs to find something better to do. And the league of morons she's leading need to do the same.

Straw man arguement.
Anyways, I haven't read fully into her story, beyond how conservatives are leaping in to attack her. I will sit down and do that after my lunch break though
her cause may be noble and i shouldnt judge her values/beliefs anymore than i want her or anybody else to judge mine but she's going crazy, camping out in front of the ranch is a bit extreme IMO. and sacrificing her marriage after losing a son.... what does she have going for her? unlikely that one day W is going to wake up and say "ah shit that lady is right, call the boys back we're coming home" so she tossed her life so the media can tear her up and look like a crazy hag in front of millions..... hope that was worth it. bad enough you lost your son, lady now you're going to give everything else (except calling bush a terrorist) up too?

Drudge does not get out of his office, apartment or whatever, and cover stories. He doesn't get off his ass. He doesn't work the phones. He doesn't know what hard work is and doesn't care about facts. His object is to get himself publicity. Period. He freely admits it. If making up quotes helps him get his name out there, he'll do it. He's a shill and a whore...mostly for himself...but he's no journalist, and putting on a fedora and trying to look like Walter Winchell (who was no journalist either) doesn't make him into one.
