Something thats been bugging me.

Soooooo... Shouldn't you take your own advise and go to all of these sites that have actually posted the stories that the Drudge Report simply compiles in one place? I see little difference.

This is exactly what I do.

No... according to your OP you go to Drudge. My point is that even though you may go to the site that posted the article you're seeing on Drudge you're STILL getting you content filtered by Drudge.

If you want to call it "getting my content filtered"...

I wouldn't know a lot of the stories exist if it wasn't for Drudge linking them. Now, after I go to a site linked by Drudge, I often read other stories on a particular site that interest me.

I must be the 25%. I never go to Drudge.

Same. It's a very conservative right-wing site, and I tend to avoid anything that is "extreme". The closer you get to either side of the spectrum, the more warped the truth gets. It's like a magnifying glass, nearest the edge is the most distortion.

Okay, fair enough. Don't you think that others here are doing the same thing only they're beginning at a slightly less right leaning site? Again... I see no difference.
