Why a Drudge Blog?
I find the Drudge Report fascinating.
Matt Drudge and his Drudge Report have had a major impact on media, newsgathering, politics and the internet as a whole. I think there are many reasons why the Drudge Report is very intellectually stimulating and unique. This goes way beyond just his politics or the news that he posts. What I’ve found to be missing out there is any detailed analysis or discussion of what goes on each day on the Drudge Report. Sure, some bloggers discuss it on occasion, but it’s usually focused only on the news stories themselves - not as much the unique way that the story came to be, or what happened before or after, or how it relates to a story Drudge ran previously.
I thought it would be fun to take on a blog that’s focused on the day to day happenings and analysis of the Drudge Report. I do have to make a shameless plug for my site DrudgeForum.com, a great partner site for Drudge Blog. If you want a place discuss the Drudge Report and anything related and meet other Drudge fans or critics, take a visit to the site. I’ve talked about some Drudge topics on my forum, but haven’t really gone into the detail that I wanted. I’d like to be able to write in a longer format, more like “articles” with follow-ups, continuity and ongoing analysis. I think many Drudge fans are very busy or want to remain anonymous or even on the sidelines, so a forum may not be best for some. Let’s face it, the Drudge Report is probably a “dirty” little addiction for many people. You just have to look at it every day, but you may not want to tell anyone. That’s just the kind of thing I want to talk about here!
