Slow news days
You know it’s been a couple of slow news days on Drudge when the top story yesterday all day long was the Clinton Library dedication, and this morning it’s Michael Jackson being sued by a furniture store. But slow news days are pretty revealing about what interests Drudge.
This morning, we see TV ratings news, surprising celebrity quotes from Jim Carrey and Linda Ronstadt, and sensationalizing the small Michael Jackson story. He also really likes to follow Howard Stern - he’s got a couple of stories posted there today. Of course, if Drudge posts it on his website, is it really a small story anymore?

Thanks for sharing that site. It’s really a different take though, mostly about the news stories. I created my site Drudge Forum for that purpose. Get lots of folks’ takes on Drudge headlines…

I just saw something SHOCKING on the page! Under his usual “Support the Drudge Report Visit our advertisers”, Matt has typed in…get this…a SEMICOLON!
What the hell’s gotten into him? First he actually gets a life outside the Internet (instead of being at our beck-and-call 7 days a week)…and now he’s using fancy punctuation. Think he’s going out with an English major?
Oh, no…what if he’s fraternizing with a respectable journalist? Are we going to start seeing correct grammar on the page? Is he selling out on us?
We can’t let this happen, guys. It’s time for an intervention. We’re going to have to band together and confront him and tell Drudge we’re worried about him! I just know he’ll listen to us. Save Drudge…before he starts using spell-check!!!!!!!
