I think Matt Drudge at DrudgeReport.com is losing his
mind. In the last few weeks his accusations against candidate
Obama have become borderline insane. Now, on the day before
election day, he is accusing Barack Obama of flipping off John
McCain when the guy was just scratching his face.
Fox News has never looked more moderate. Indeed, the
Republican Party is altogether losing it.
It started with Ron Paul showing that the party was broken into
a radical religious neo conservative segment and a traditional
hardcore libertarian segment. Paul was shunned by the
mainstream media and left out of debates by Fox News.
But that was only the beginning. DrudgeReport.com had
started the year looking like it was not taking sides. But in
the months preceding this election, all has changed and Drudge has
gone nuts, looking for any opportunity to put up a "shock" message
that will grab mainstream media's attention.
Meanwhile, the once dominant Drudge is losing mainstream
credibility altogether. His stories are more and more being
ignored by national press.
Some have suggested that the contrast has made Fox News seem
less biased. Indeed, MSNBC is making no apologies for their
radical left agenda, which creates yet another contrast.
The reality is that media is actually becoming more
honest. People are coming to realize that each brand has its
own way of twisting the truth. As time goes on, I think it
will only empower internet news writers as the centralized media is
exposed for what it is: biased selective news.
