NAACP on Vic

[Rico]

"The dog cruelty ain't what is going to bring Michael Vick down."  <  RecycleM.

True.... what will bring Mister Vick down is the 350 pound biker that killed his old lady but "always took real good care of his dog"...

My only comment... Malcolm would not be amused.

I bet he's first pick when they play pick-up football in the prison yard.

This doesn't bode too well for the organization either:

The NAACP isn't even mentioned in the story, Wilbur.

You are absolutely correct and I'm 100% wrong.  I could have sworn I read that in a different link through Drudge.

Then lets say it doesn't bode too well for the cause.

Wow, Drudge, there's a good source!

You do realize that Drudge has done some really good investigative reporting in the past.  Especially under the current administration he is more likely to get tips than anyone else.  Not to mention the whole Clinton thing, the Dan Rather thing, and the fact that he often breaks stories before the major outlets.  You clearly do not like his politics, but that doesn't mean he fails to get the scoop.

However, more importantly, is the fact that most often Drudge is often not the source.  He merely links to the source.  His sources are usually major newspapers, wires, or other media outlets.    So more often than not, questioning Drudge's source is just questioning the AP wire - which is everyones source.

For me, Drudge is merely an internet tabloid-quality partisan hack with delusions of journalism. If I wanted that, i'd go for someone a litlle more resspectable in the genre, such as Steve Dunleavy....

How can he be a hack?  Doesn't he usually (99%) of the time just link to stories others have written?  I really don't see Drudge actually writing stories on his own very often, but when he does they often turn out to be true (I.E. Monica).

[cannon_fodder]

So his links to the Washington Post, NY Times, CNN, AP wire, Reuters, Breitbart?  

Currently there is not one piece of original journalism on his site.  So disqualifying him as a source disqualifies all the sources above that are currently linked.  That's what I was trying to point out.  Most often, DRUDGE is not the actual source.

Can't argue that he is not a partisan hack though...

I won't yet call him a Propogandist, but I won't call him a legitimate Pundit either.
