Drudge as news aggregator

I think one of the reasons we find the Drudge Report entertaining is that it’s serving as a news aggregator for us. The problem with just looking at CNN.com for news, for example, is that you just get their stories and their view. However, if you just had a news aggregator compiling news from multiple sources automatically, it still wouldn’t be as entertaining as Drudge. Google News is like this - lots of information from many sources compiled without human intervention. Informative but not very interesting. But Matt Drudge constantly seeks out news from multiple sources with many different edtiors and styles. And you constantly get his take on the world. So, I guess you’d call the Drudge Report a “human edited news aggregator.” There you go, a new Drudge geek term…
