Drudge is a scam artist. Stop using him as your assignment editor.

    Remember how earlier this week the McCain campaign stated they were pulling out of virtually all states and putting all their resources into Pennsylvania? Anyone who could read saw the polls were double-digit for Obama and no one knew why McCain would do this. I guess this was what they had up their sleeve in order to try to win PA. Can we as Americans sue to get our federal campaign money back from McCain?

    TPM has the McCain campaign (or at least one of the local offices) directly culpable for the incendiary nature of the reporting:http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/10/mccain_aide_gave_reporters_inc.phpQT

    The blogs are beginning to push back on drudge here and there.Everyone should.(Meaning all you web blog gods like bob here.) I was led into blogs by drudge. it is difficult for people new to the web and surfing news to pick on the the way drudge shades and in some cases bangs a drum for a view point.A part of developing culture is educating the common folk such as meself. Assuming that there are now millions of us new web walkers around, caused by the politics of the moment. I think it is fair to ask…Who is going to be teaching them? who answeres for what the web is and isn’t? Who will be highlighting the way and truth out here?The critisism of drudge is a start anyway.

    @ XRugly:Who will be teaching the neophytes? Who answers for what the web is and is not? Simply put: NO ONE. That is the most exciting and frightening thing about the internets — NO ONE is in charge. NO ONE is responsible. NO ONE is accountable…unless the internet holds them accountable.And that is what Bob is doing with this very web page. It’s up to us, all of US, to fact-check and verify and call bullshit when we smell it.
