Essential stuff, even when you're inclined to disagree with Somerby, as I've found myself doing more than usual the last couple of weeks.

"ABC, FOX CIRCLE: LENO PLOTS TO STAY ON TV; LIFE AFTER 'TONIGHT SHOW'..."

"UPDATE: Don't stop taking anti-depressants, doctors urge"

Someone submitted it to FARK at 11:22AM.

It hit the AP wire at 11:25AM.

Drudge didn't have it for a while after that, I IMed him a tip about it at 11:32AM.

Mediahohoho

]]> <![CDATA["We Are All Matt Drudge Now"]]> Geez, this is such a pointless chicken and egg argument here. I mean, does Drudge exist because political journalists are lazy incompetent hacks or did political journalists become lazy incompetent hacks because of Drudge? After all, when you can just quote a dude with an obvious political axe to grind and no journalistic ethics, not to mention to editors or no editorial standards, isn't that just a whole lot easier that, you know, working?

Nick Denton

]]> <![CDATA["We Are All Matt Drudge Now"]]> @urnidiot: Yeah, a point that we made. But here's the question: did Drudge cause the New York tabloids to go with his spin? Or did he merely anticipate them so perfectly because he's basically the internet version of a classic tabloid editor?

Nick Denton

]]> <![CDATA["We Are All Matt Drudge Now"]]> Hey, speaking of errie: Sploid semi-exists again.

It's like the fake denton tumblr, but with Denton admitting he saw 27 dresses.

]]> <![CDATA["We Are All Matt Drudge Now"]]> Uuuuuugh editorial "we." I've always been curious about this-- do they teach journalists to use the "we" as often as possible?

As far as Drudge goes ... wtf he's a scooping machine yet somehow I know about William F. Buckley dying before he does?

Tippy and Bad Girl

]]> <![CDATA["We Are All Matt Drudge Now"]]> My good man, what in blazes are you talking about?

Drudge "sorta" holds sway over campaign narratives? He publishes one photo of Obama, insinuates it's being circulated by the Clinton campaign, and it goes straight to the front page of two daily New York newspapers.

Please go back to posting on subjects you know something about, whatever they may be.
