    I don't buy it

    As a fish doesn't know water, it is obvious that Harris' world is so full of right wing cant that he can't see it for what it is anymore. Drudge is a tool and a whore, and although I would not dispute his right to exist I would alsonever seek to elevate him to the stature of somone like Cronkite. Or even the level of the weather guy on my local TV channel.

    Chalk it up to the un-anticipated side effects of the power of the Internet. The near-zero cost of the media gives reach to anyone not on substance, but whomever can sieze a cachet that gets lots of site hits. 95% of cable TV is an atrocity, why would you expect anything better from the web?
