People can give Drudge his due without nominating him for a Pulitzer. Or even reading him. I tried him off and on a long time ago. I'm accustomed to professional journalism, for better or worse. It seemed to me that Drudge batted maybe 25 percent. That a large proportion of those hits were home runs doesn't excuse, for me, all the horrible errors. I expect upwards of ninety percent from a news source. There are enough people following Drudge. One of them is bound to pick up any story that he gets right and I'll hear about it that way. I'm not prepared to wade through a lot of unreliable crap for the occasional gem that I can get in a more reliable way. That he will publish things without verifying them is low class, IMO. I don't care how much originality, chutzpah, or prescience about the future of the news biz he has. Karen
