Rush Limbaugh is Right - Drudge has taken up the News Mantle where the NY Times has Failed - White House Attacks the Drudge Report, as Obama Continues His Effort to Eliminate All Political Opposition

White House Attacks the Drudge Report, as Obama Continues His Effort to Eliminate All Political Opposition - The Rush Limbaugh Show
April 03, 2013 from transcript
... Pfeiffer said that the Drudge effect can be damaging to the White House effort to communicate their message."
So it's a profound admission.  They value control more than they do truths, accuracy, or any of that.  And, as leftists, this does not come as a surprise.  But the Drudge Report is an aggregator.  Very little of what is on Drudge, does Drudge write.  When Drudge gets fired up about something, you'll see a siren, and he might take a stab at it, but all Drudge does is find what's in the news and put it up there. The genius or the brilliance of Drudge is that he happens to pick stuff that millions of people around the world are interested in that wouldn't see if he didn't post it for them because it's being excluded by other people. 
The New York Times is said to be top dog in the news business by reputation, size, and all that.  I've often said the news business is trying to figure out what to do on the Internet.   ...
... The CNN morning show, MSNBC, they look at the New York Times and that's how they decide what they're gonna talk about, what guests they're gonna get.  Well, that role has been taken over by Drudge for a lot of people.  Now Drudge is the blueprint for the news that day.
