Not every Matt Drudge interview or appearance is worth writing home about, but it wouldn’t kill me or you to check him out at the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International TV Festival August 24-26.  Appearing live via video, he will share the floor with reps from Al-Jazeera, Sun Online, and ITV News on the subject of terror tapes and related ethical issues.  I don’t know what footage will be accessible, but lay odds that he’ll weigh in on his pet issue of London’s public camera surveillance and other liberties with civil liberties he loves to hate.  He has spent quite a bit of time in London, which currently leads the race on citizen surveillance in First World countries.

Matt’s always more interesting when he has to sing for his supper and isn’t just shooting the Shinola with those he already agrees with.  The key is to sneak a bee in his bonnet but not make him stop to pull the stinger out of his ass.
