Someone finally hits the "profit bias" tack in the media.

Drydge, like ANY news source out there, is just trying to make money. Face it, sleazy, raunchy gossip sells. Look at the rags by the newsstand, the shows on TV (Inside Hollywood, E.T., Behind the Music, and so on). Good news doesn't sell and that is why it is not focussed on.
An example, would anyone listen to Limbaugh if all he did was boast over what the GOP has done? Probably not, he needs controversy and his rants to keep people interested and sell his show. Same with Drudge, and he does put a right winged spin on almost everything he reports. Although, every now and then he will come out with something that hits the right hard.
The problem is if you rely on any one source of news, whether Limbaugh, Drudge, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CNN and so on, you'll only get part of the story and it will be biased, some more than others. The best way to get the truth is to watch or read a liberal side and a GOP side and from there decide which to believe.
Best thing about the internet are there are many many differing views and by sharing and reading ones that you may not hold, you will learn alot. Not just about the news but of people.
