The Drudge Report is a U.S.-based news website run by Matt Drudge. The site consists primarily of links to stories from the US and international mainstream media about politics, entertainment, and current events as well as links to many popular columnists. Occasionally Drudge authors a story of his own. The Report originated around 1994 as a weekly subscriber-based email dispatch. It is most famous for being the first news source to break the Monica Lewinsky scandal to the public after Newsweek killed the story.[1] A website (alternatively, Web site or web site) is a collection of Web pages, images, videos and other digital assets that is hosted on one or several Web server(s), usually accessible via the Internet, cell phone or a LAN.

Origins

Drudge began publishing his email-based Report from an apartment in Hollywood, California, using his connections with industry and media insiders to break stories sometimes before they hit the mainstream media. He now maintains the website from his home in Miami Beach, Florida, with assistance from Andrew Breitbart, who assists in story selection and headline writing [2]. Drudge's reports were electronically syndicated by Wired News from November 1996 to May 1997; AOL carried his reports until 1998. He began his website in 1997 as a supplement to the email reports but eventually stopped the email reports in favor of exclusively updating his website.

Drudge first received national attention in 1996 when he broke the news that Jack Kemp would be Republican Bob Dole's running mate in the 1996 presidential election. In 1998, Drudge again made national waves when he broke the news that Newsweek magazine had information on an inappropriate relationship between "a White House intern" and President Bill Clinton (the Monica Lewinsky scandal), but was withholding publication.[3][4] After Drudge's report, Newsweek published the story.[5] Jack French Kemp Jr. ... § Robert Joseph Dole (born July 22, 1923) was a United States Senator from Kansas from 1969-1996, serving part of that time as United States Senate Majority Leader. ...

Content

The Drudge Report site sometimes includes stories authored by Drudge himself — usually two to three paragraphs in length. These stories generally break a rumor concerning a story that is about to break in a major magazine or newspaper. Drudge also occasionally publishes Nielsen, Arbitron, or BookScan ratings, internal email messages, or early election exit polls that are otherwise not made available to the public. When TV viewers or entertainment professionals in the United States mention ratings they are often referring to Nielsen Ratings, a system developed by Nielsen Media Research to determine the audience size and composition of television programming. ... Arbitron is a radio audience research company in the United States. ... An exit poll is a poll of voters taken immediately after they have exited the polling stations. ...


Design

The website has a simple design, consisting of a banner headline and a number of other selected headlines in three columns. These linked stories are almost always hosted on the external websites of mainstream media outlets. The rest of the site contains links to media outlets and a number of columnists. Although the site initially featured very few images, it is now usually illustrated with five or six photographs. Generally the images are similarly hotlinked from other news agencies' servers.

Influence

According to Mark Halperin, "Drudge's coverage affects the media's political coverage", effectively steering the media's political coverage towards what Halperin calls "the most salacious aspects of American politics."[6] In The Way To Win, a book written by Halperin and John Harris, Drudge is called "the Walter Cronkite of his era."[7][6] Democratic Party strategist Chris Lehane says "phones start ringing" whenever Drudge breaks a story and Mark McKinnon, a former media advisor to George W. Bush says he checks the site 30–40 times per day.[6] Matt Drudge has been criticized by other media news personalities: Bill O'Reilly who twice called Drudge a "threat to democracy",[8] and Keith Olbermann who referred to Drudge as "an idiot with a modem".[9] Mark Halperin (born 1965) is the ABC News Political Director. ...

Archives of older reports are generally not easy to find. A number of reports from 1995 to early 1997 are available in the Usenet archive provided by Google Groups.

Charges of bias

UCLA political scientist Tim Groseclose and Jeff Milyo, Associate Professor, Department of Economics and the Harry S Truman School of Public Affairs at the University of Missouri–Columbia, published a paper on media bias in December 2004[13] which concluded—based on a comparison of articles linked to by Drudge with Congressional voting records—that the Drudge Report leans "left" of center, compared to the average American voter."[14] The authors ascribe this seemingly anomalous result to the study's design, based as it is on links to other news sources, rather than the handful of news stories written by Drudge himself. Mark Liberman, Professor of Computer Science and the Director of the Linguistic Data Consortium at the University of Pennsylvania,[15] contends that the results were based on a flawed methodology;[16][17] according to Media Matters for America, a media watchdog group dedicated to "correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media",[18] “Groseclose and Milyo are former fellows of conservative organizations…” and “…the study employed a measure of ‘bias’ so problematic that its findings are next to useless.”[19] The University of California, Los Angeles (generally known as UCLA) is a public university located in Los Angeles, California, United States. ...

Views on global warming

Drudge has faced criticism for his skeptical view of global warming, seen in his highlighting of winter cold snaps and freak snowstorms in warm places.[20] On February 25, 2007, he stated during his radio broadcast that global warming is "faux science" and that "the greening of our population, the falling for the science ... is making me nervous."[21][22] Global mean surface temperatures 1850 to 2006 Mean surface temperature anomalies during the period 1995 to 2004 with respect to the average temperatures from 1940 to 1980 Global warming is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earths atmosphere and oceans in recent decades and the projected...

Errors

Sidney Blumenthal lawsuit

In 1997, the Drudge Report reported that incoming White House assistant Sidney Blumenthal beat his wife and was covering it up. Drudge retracted the story the next day and apologized, saying he was given bad information, but Blumenthal filed a $30 million libel lawsuit against Drudge. After four years, Blumenthal dropped his lawsuit. Blumenthal said the suit had cost him tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. He agreed to pay $2,500 to Drudge's Los Angeles attorney for travel costs, noting that Drudge was "backed by unlimited funds from political supporters who use a tax-exempt foundation."[23][24][25][26] The Individual Rights Foundation, led by David Horowitz, paid Drudge's legal fees in the Blumenthal lawsuit. A federal judge noted in the judgment that Drudge "is not a reporter, a journalist, or a newsgatherer. He is, as he admits himself, simply a purveyor of gossip."[27] Sidney Blumenthal was born in Chicago in 1948 and educated at Brandeis University(BA in Sociology in 1969). ... David Joel Horowitz (born January 10, 1939) is an American conservative writer and activist. ...


John Kerry's alleged intern scandal

Similarly, during the 2004 Presidential campaign, Drudge ran a story quoting General Wesley Clark, where Clark claimed that the John Kerry campaign would implode over an intern affair; and he reported that other news outlets were investigating the alleged affair; Drudge removed it from the site shortly thereafter when the other news outlets dropped the investigations.[28] Presidential election results map. ... Wesley Kanne Clark (born December 23, 1944) is a retired four-star general of the United States Army. ... John Forbes Kerry (born December 11, 1943) is the junior United States Senator from Massachusetts, in his fourth term of office. ...


Bill Clinton's alleged illegitimate baby

In 1999, the Drudge Report announced that it had viewed a videotape which was the basis of a Star Magazine and Hard Copy story. Under the headline, "Woman Names Bill Clinton Father Of Son In Shocking Video Confession", Drudge reported of a videotaped confession by a former prostitute who claimed that her son was fathered by President Bill Clinton. The Report stated, "To accuse the most powerful man in the world of being the father of her son is either the hoax of a lifetime, or a personal turmoil that needs resolution. Only two people may know that answer tonight." The claim turned out to be a hoax, although Drudge's story and headline were technically accurate.[29] Star Magazine is a magazine owned by American Media Corporation specializing in celebrity gossip and scandals. ... Hard Copy was a tabloid news infotainment magazine show similar to Inside Edition and A Current Affair. ... William Jefferson Bill Clinton (born William Jefferson Blythe III[1] on August 19, 1946) was the 42nd President of the United States, serving from 1993 to 2001. ...


CNN reporter's alleged heckling of GOP senators

Another error occurred on April 1, 2007 when Drudge cited an unnamed "official" source saying that CNN reporter Michael Ware had "heckled" Republican Senators McCain and Graham during a live press conference.[30] Drudge reported that is the 91st day of the year (92nd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ... Year 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the AD/CE era. ... The Cable News Network, commonly known as CNN, is a major cable television network founded in 1980 by Ted Turner. ... Michael Ware is an Australian journalist reporting for CNN as an international correspondent based in Baghdad. ...

“ An official at the press conference called Ware's conduct "outrageous," saying, "here you have two United States Senators in Bagdad giving first-hand reports while Ware is laughing and mocking their comments. I've never witnessed such disrespect. This guy is an activist not a reporter." ”
 
— The Drudge Report, Matthew Drudge

Ware, most known for calling the Iraq War a "slow-motion train wreck", disputed Drudge's report on CNN April 2, 2007, saying that the story was leaked "by an unnamed official of some kind to a blog", that the story was anonymous, and that no one was willing to put their name to it; he advised people to view the tape.[31] Video hosted by Rawstory shows that Ware did not make a sound nor ask any question during the press conference.[32][31][33] The Drudge Report did not retract or apologise for the story. Drudge's report was echoed in The Washington Times, which carried opinion questioning Ware's trustworthiness, and in many conservative blogs, some of which called for Ware's resignation.[34] For other uses, see Iraq war (disambiguation). ... is the 92nd day of the year (93rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

Drudge Report: Information from Answers.com (2578 words)
The Drudge Report is most famous for being the first entity to break news of the Monica Lewinsky scandal to the public.
Drudge, who once managed a CBS gift shop where he was privy to some insider gossip, uses connections with industry and media insiders to break stories sometimes before they hit the mainstream media.
The Drudge Report's height of popularity (as of 2006) was during the 2004 U.S. presidential election.
