Republic Sex Scandal Ignored For Whitehouse Tweet Ban
One of the amazing things about the internet is how fast news spreads. The other things that is amazing about the internet is just how slanted major media sources can be. Once again, Matt Drudge and his Drudge Report site lead the way with ignorance and hateful attacks. This is a site now solely dedicated to slamming President Obama and the Democratic party, such that almost any other news is either second place or not mentioned at all.
Today’s big headline? “Whitehouse Blocks Chef Tweets”. That’s right, the most important news of the day in the Drudge universe isn’t the fiery rioting in Thailand, it isn’t taliban claims to have attacked a US base overseas, and it certainly isn’t the sex scandal that has multi-term Republican Mark Souder resigning after being caught in an illicit affair with one of his staff. Nope, it’s all about how the Whitehouse isn’t allowing a guest chef to tweet his every movement leading up to a formal dinner later this week. All this combined with Matt’s wonderful selection of images, always trying to find the one image that shows people off at their worst.
Do you feel informed? You should feel outraged. Drudge claims 30 million visits in the last 24 hours, and means that 30 million people are now more informed about a tweeting issue instead of a Republican involved in a sex scandal. How can that be good or useful? This isn’t the first time that I have mentioned the drudgereport’s tendacies to sit on the conservative side of things, but damn,this is blantant and willfully trying to cover something up. Nasty.
It’s a shame, Drudge use to actually do news. Now he just does one sided slams. Maybe he is angling for a seat as Rush Limbaugh’s side kick or something.
