Online Tabloid Journalism At It's Best
a: Drudge report ~
b: the tabloid covers at the check-out line
What: "Drudge Report is like the tabloid covers at the check-out line. Can't help but look. Most headlines are misleading & written in a way to incite Americans against Americans."

Substance Meets Swankiness
a: Drudge report ~
b: the love child of 2 disperate peoples
What: "Matt Drudge is a sort of spiritual protege of Walter Winchell (1897-1972). He even poses like Winchell over a microphone wearing a dark fedora, the signature attire of the mid-20th Century American newspaperman slash gossip columnist whose syndicated articles were once read by fifty million people worldwide, until he moved too close to the fire around Joe McCarthy and got burned. The Drudge Report is like a child born to a casual encounter between The National Enquirer and The Christian Science Monitor. Part tabloid. Part respectable."

Ya Huhhh.....
a: Drudge report ~
b: an underappreciated work of art
What: "Drudge has built a brand out of this bare-bones design. It works because it can be run, if need be, by a single man. There is almost a modernist element to it all, the efficiency and ease of usability. The Drudge Report is like an underappreciated work of art."

A Text Collage
a: Drudge Report ~
b: collage
What:
"The reason that nobody has been able to imitate Drudge is because he's an auteur, stamping the page with his own unique sensibility and instincts. It must be exhausting, because he must constantly filter world news on a daily basis. He's simply an aggregator, not a news source, but he has an amazing sense of collage. The page is fluid and always in motion, and Drudge is full of jokes and mischief."

a: Drudge report ~
b: Hollywood Journalism
What:
applied to politics ... endless nonsese mixed with fact and figures, many of which are questionable. Yet in the end the whole thing is titillating and occasionally informative.
