***APRIL FOOLS: Drudge to be acquired by MSNBC- NOT!
Yikes! Apparently not everyone has caught on…
The original post read as below:
OK, guys, hell has truly frozen over. I don’t know what to say about this one, except, no comment.
It’s finally made it to the mainstream media that MSNBC acquired both the Drudge Report and Gawker Media this week.
According to today’s web edition of US Weekly and World Report:
…the merger will enable Drudge to decrease his work hours — currently estimated at 14 hours a day — and collaborate more closely with his new wife, Gawker blogger Jessica Coen. The couple currently divides their time between New York, Miami, and a new “remote office” on a farm near Akureyri, Iceland.
Akureyri is one of the northernmost cities on Earth and warmer than the Icelandic capital of Reykjavik. Its summer beauty is conducive to a stress-free work environment for successful freelancers, as well as a visual spot to watch the aurora borealis.
“It’s a great place for 21st Century power couples to escape, unwind and watch hell freeze over together,” says April Fools, Drudge spokesperson.

Why not? I think The Today Show producers have admitted they get lots of their ideas from Drudge.
