Edit Notes

I have removed the following sections from the article pages for the moment.--Bob Burton 00:38, 19 December 2007 (EST)

  • "Drudge relies heavily on information from Republican party operatives and has repeatedly broadcast claims that were later proven false."
this is unreferenced. It is stated as fact but I suspect it is more based on opinion.
  • Jeanette Walls, a rival gossip-monger at MSNBC, gave Drudge a taste of his own medicine, reporting that he is gay in her book Dish: The Inside Story on the World of Gossip. [1] Drudge denied the allegation, but former right-wing journalist David Brock also describes Drudge as gay in his book Blinded by the Right. Brock, who is openly gay, describes receiving flirtatious emails from Drudge and going on a date with him to a gay bar.
this is off-topic for an article on the Drudge Report. And even for an article on Drudge himself, I'm not exactly persuaded that it is all that relevant to a discussion of his writing and politics.
