It's run by an ex-Nixonite who is unabashed in his political leanings and his preference to shape the message, is filled with the best and the brightest that the RW think tank network has to offer, and routinely sources information from that same support network. When you have Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, William Kristol, etc. as regular contributors to the programming, and Alan Colmes as the lone balancing voice (they would be better with no one to be honest), it is slanted so far to the right that is pretty well falls over on its own. Add in the wise-cracking spinmaster anchor, Brit Hume, and you have a three ring circus of clowns dancing to the beat of the neo-con drum.

Drudge ain't much better. The collection of sensationalistic crap, and the links to a predominantly right wing crowd of pundits makes it a questionable "portal" for news. The mindless dittoheads love it because it gives them all the message they need to feel good about themselves and the wonderful job their goverbment is doing for them. You want to know why Americans don't know why the rest of the world hates them? Look on Drudge for the answer. The complete detachment from reality is amazing. It's very hard to develop a global perspective when you are tld that you are wonderful and the world hangs on every word your country utters.

You see what I mean FDW?

Thanks for proving my point Lanny.
