Well here's news from Drudge:
In the stampede of books attempting to make their mark this season comes THE WAY TO WIN, by longtime political reporters Halperin and Harris.I am proud of visiting Drudge many times a day. His headlines send me scampering to the sources and you have to know that others are doing it as well!The political director of ABCNEWS and the national politics editor of the WASHINGTON POST make it official in their new insider tome on DC politics and how it's played: The four words in every newsroom and campaign headquarters are: Have you seen DRUDGE? (emphasis added)
[...]
Halperin and Harris explain: "So many media elites check the DRUDGE REPORT consistently that a reporter is aware his bosses, his competitors, his sources, his friends on Wall Street, lobbyists, White House officials, congressional aides, cousins, and everyone who is anyone has seen it, too."
When you say, "You get all your ideas from Drudge!", I can resort to an ad hominum Ad hominem attack as easily as you: I smell stupidity, you naive little girl!
Get the book. Don't take my word or Matt Drudge's word for it:

Update:
Ok I exercised my venom so I have exorcised "naive little girl with a "strike through" I am not alone when it comes to stupidity. I believe it was Mark Twain who said: I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with the unarmed. "I smell stupidity" is more succinct.Update:
From Wikipedia about the political affiliation of Mark Halperin:One such allegation of misleading balance came from Mark Halperin, political director of ABC News. He stated in an internal e-mail message that reporters should not "artificially hold [George W. Bush and John Kerry] 'equally' accountable" to the public interest, and that complaints from Bush supporters were an attempt to "get away with ... renewed efforts to win the election by destroying Senator Kerry."When the Drudge Report published this message[13], many Bush supporters viewed it as "smoking gun" evidence that Halperin was using ABC to propagandize against Bush to Kerry's benefit, by interfering with reporters' attempts to avoid bias. An academic content analysis of election news later found that coverage at ABC, CBS, and NBC was more favorable toward Kerry than Bush, while coverage at Fox News Channel was more favorable toward Bush.[1]
Update:
"If Drudge has a siren up, people know it's something they have to look at," said Mark Halperin, ABC News Political Director.
Democratic strategist Chris Lehane agreed.
You said first Of course they'll have a conservative slant. Maybe you should search some more open minded sites.
Then you say: Give me a couple of people who are not right wing who say the same thing, and I'll give it more value.
I responded with the Quote from ABC"If Drudge has a siren up, people know it's something they have to look at," said Mark Halperin, ABC News Political Director.
Democratic strategist Chris Lehane agreed.
The reason Drudge was drawn into the debate in the first place was that the naive little girl intended the put-down of Drudge as an attack on me. As in: "You cannot have any credibility. You read Drudge!"
