Some unfortunate son of a bitch at the University of Illinois analyzed six years of posts and links-171,717 page updates-from the Drudge Report to find that the site "relies heavily on wire services and obscure news outlets to find small stories that will break large tomorrow, making it highly dependent on mainstream 'old media' sites.'" Also, Matt likes to smear Democrats, show unflattering pictures of Hillary Clinton, and is happy to post anything that will make black people or immigrants look bad. [Via Politico, full study here.]

There isn't very much to do in Champaign-Urbana.
How about a study on how we might all hate Drudge but are always a little thrilled when he breaks out the siren?
Again - why Johnny can''t do shit when he gets out of college. My campus did not have email until 2002.
It's late & no one is listening but I wonder how much funding this doofus got for this? I mean cripes...I bet he got a bunch cause it's "cutting edge." Sometimes I wish I had bought a pet spa.
