Matt Drudge: A Liberal Accomplice

Alicia Colon, in "The Mendacity Of the Liberal Press," states her belief that Matt Drudge, intentionally or not, is an "accomplice to the [liberal] distortion of news reporting" and "must be held responsible."

[T]he propaganda of the enemedia — an excellent descriptive term coined by one poster to Lucianne.com — continues to sully news coverage, thanks to Mr. Drudge. A study of press bias by a professor of political science at the University of California-Los Angeles, Tim Groseclose, listed the Drudge Report as one of the most liberal sites on the Web because it consistently posts articles from left-of-center sources.

Colon blames Drudge for President Bush's low approval ratings because he consistently biases headlines to enhance the failures in Iraq. She also blames him for sullying the reputation of the Pope.

I read the Drudge Report every day and I will agree that I see bias there. But certainly not left-leaning. Drudge frequently links to articles and editorials that favor the views of the far right. I think Colon is exhibiting behavior that is all-too-typical of the right – using threats, denigration, and intimidation in order to keep the flock from straying anywhere near rationality.
