Drudge and Bush Crying
Drudge very much rules their world, and another fantastic deconstruction Glenn.
Does anyone else remember back around 2004-2005, when Matt Drudge was frequently running heroic Bush images on his mainpage, there was a pic of Bush hugging a woman who had lost someone on 9/11, and Bush was staring directly into the camera with a tear in his eye?
It was the most absurdly over the top pic, but Drudge ran it with the usual hero worship, something along the lines of "he cares" or "healer" or some nonsense.
That would be a great pic to find with the Hillary "crying" nonsense.
Speaking of which, Drudge controls the traditional media simply by his choice of pictures. Thus the funny pics of Hillary Clinton all googley eyed contrasted with the heroic Bush pics.
Or, now, zero Bush pics.
In Drudge's world, George W. Bush no longer existed. He never existed.
Just like my namesake, Winston Smith, in the digital world, you don't have to edit the newspapers of the past. The digital screen simply changes.
