Seriously question.

The guy's made as many incorrect claims as Benny Hinn, who everyone including the fundie community regards as a joke.

Benny Hinn is just a charlatan out to line his own pockets with cash.

It seems as though Drudge wants to spout any convoluted rumor to gain attention.

     I don't know. I certainly wouldn't bet a penny on anything he says.

Because, even though he's spent the last 10 years consistently running false stories, he did break the Lewinsky story.

When you publish every rumor you hear, some are bound to be right.

It's a good question I don't have an answer too.

Let's face it 99.999% of what's on Drudge is links to news sources, not original material, although he occasionally has the red light special where he "breaks" news.

He's no exceptionally accurate in what he breaks either........

I really wouldn't listen to him but I like the fact I can go to his page and link to most any top news story and a few weird ones.

Unless he has a radio show, I'm not sure how anybody can listen to Drudge.

I like his website. I don't like the "Support McCain" ad he's had at the top of the page lately, but its still a much better place for news than cnn.com

I don't put a lot of stock in his first hand material, but I visit the site at least 10 times a day.
