Re: "Drudge will go after the PERSONAL life of just about anybody that disagrees with him, but nobody seems to ever take a close look at Drudge himself."

There is really nothing much 'new' under the sun.

Yellow Journalism has *always* been about making money and pushing personal agendas.

(Just look at some of the history of the Hearst Empire creating and then 'selling' an entire war, the Spanish-American War... not to mention any number of personal vendettas and self-serving aims.)

The names may change but the archetypes remain the same. <g>
