I would argue your opinion about Drudge. He is freelance and uncontrollable by either the right or the left.
I like the fact that he will slam anybody, Democrat or Republican (He posted article after article blasting Bush for spending hikes).
As for Rush, it has been awhile, but I don't recall him claiming to be a "news" outlet. He espouses opinion and I don't think anyone is confused about that fact.
But....
We are getting off topic here and I am not helping.
I started this thread because I read this quote from Rather and my first thought was, "He is saying this like it is bad, but I think there is some good to it as well."
If we look back, has there ever been any balance in T.V. news? I don't think so and I am not referring to bias.
If you watch the "Big Three" there is no doubt where their feelings fall. The main anchors for these networks have gotten such a big head that they think they are more newsworthy than the stories they report on.
I have gotten to the point where I will not watch cable/T.V. news, period, regardless of the source.
