Matt Drudge: When it's all in ruins...

[NoOneButPaul]

Its another Washington Times hit piece, Drudge just posts that shit up and the reason he does it is because we'll click on it to bombard the comments sections with defense.

For him its all about clicks, hits, and exposure because thats where the money is at...

I couldn't even get through half of the Times article because it paints Paul out as someone who hands over his campaign cash to family members when the truth is all of those people FUCKING WORK FOR HIM!

Apparently paying Jesse Benton's salary is now an unethical thing to do...

I never understood how so many on RPF could love Drudge, but hate the mainstream media. Drudge IS the mainstream media. Every time I turn on Hannity or Limbaugh they are referencing Drudge's site.

I check Drudge everyday, not because I want a fair or alternative view, but because a quick scan of his headlines tells me what MSNBC, Fox, CNN, Hannity, Beck and Limbaugh are currently spouting to their viewers and listeners.

There have been more than a handful of occasions where we send stuff to Drudge just as grassroot'rs, and he will post it up within minutes. I think he hates Obama, and would rather an (R) be in the white house. Definitely a Ron Paul fan, but he hasn't ever seen to me to take sides. He's blasted every candidate I've seen. But he's not afraid within all the NYTimes and WaPo stories to link infowars, or human events/buchanan from time to time.

As much as I have been angry at Matt Drudge, I will retweet that because it needs to be heard.

I chose not to RT it, because this thing isn't over.

I, pervert.

Sounds like the title of the next Will Smith movie.

His comment seems to be a net positive.

F*ck Drudge.

Anyone care to look on Drudge right now regarding the obvious hit piece on Paul and family member payments?

Hit piece implies something that is not fair. Plenty of people on this board have criticized Paul for over reliance on family members in running his campaign. The fact that Paul relies heavily on his family in both running his campaign and assisting in running his Congressional Office are known facts. I don't think he does it for nefarious purposes, and I think a close examination of the situation as a whole would bear that out, but obviously it is a situation that could constitute corruption. I live in Miami, where taxing the citizens to enrich politicians relatives occurs on a Banana Republic level scale.

Drudge posts negative and positive stories about everyone. On the whole, he's given Paul far more attention than any mainstream news outlet. As far as Drudge's bias, I think it mostly leans towards sensationalism, which is why his site is so damn popular. Drudge links to articles the average person is going to find interesting. And politically, Drudge is clearly distrustful of government. He's not really part of the liberty movement for sure, but he shares our justified paranoia about a lot things.

But he likes us right? And links to a lot of stories destroying Romney? Such as the ALTERNATIVE Etch-A-Sketch videos that show Romney's flipflops as they should be known/shown?
No...the only "etch-a-sketch" video I remember Drudge linking, was RP's ad...which did not attack Romney hardly any, and only tried to make out Santorum and Newt as talking idiocy.

I remember that night of the Nevada primary. It wasn't dull at all.

Drudge is fantastic, I don't understand the hatred for him on here. He's a supporter of Paul, but he's not running an Infowars kind of hyper-partisan pro-Paul operation. He drives more news than anyone in the world pretty much, we can't expect him to run his site just for us

 

[Zatch]

Drudge hasn't changed the name of the site to PAUL report therefore he's literally Hitler! /s

Uh, did Drudge declare the race over?

 

[Okie RP fan]

For every positive story Drudge has posted about Paul, he's posted two for Romney and one for Santorum, it seems to me.

The only candidate Drudge really doesn't like is Gingrich.

I think we should quit acting like he's doing us a favor. Perhaps, compared to the rest of the media, but, in the end, he's still part of the media.

Lol obviously you haven't seen drudge this past week. He has it out for Santorum right now. Isn't even trying to hide it. Like a full three days of anti-Santorum headlines on the main picture.

What about the anti-Paul article on his page?

And don't say what you or someone else said earlier "it's to get people to defend it on the comments section." Because that is some high kind of thinking right there and isn't to be taken seriously. Most people who read that article are going to take it for what the title is worth. Some may not even read the comments.

I don't want to argue this. I am simply saying we shouldn't place our trust with anyone who has influence. Drudge is not our hero, by any means.

he is not hitler. He is just a prostitute for status quo.

 

[Ekrub]

He posts negative articles on everyone, including Romney (who I believe he is in the tank for) but overall the pos/neg articles are a net positive for Paul. Gingrich and Santorum would be a net negative. Not sure why that is but I have a suspicion that drudge is a pro-civil liberties guy. I could be wrong though on that though.

 

[MikeStanart]

If we look at all mainstream media; he is the fairest towards us.

(No, you can't consider Infowars mainstream, yet)

 

[Ekrub]

Found this:

But that is as far as our common desire to keep government out of people's lives could extend. Drudge said, "I'm a Libertarian except for drugs and abortion." Proving once again that everyone wants government off his or her back and on someone else's. *
