Brent Budowsky, columnist, for The Hill asked an interesting question in yesterday’s column. He made his query in trying to prove a point. And in doing so, Mr. Budowsky established the fact that he really doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
 
Budowsky wrote: “While as a liberal, I do not suggest the following with a great deal of pleasure, but Matt Drudge is by far the single most influential person in the American media, and it is fair to ask: Is he the second most influential man in America?
 
Budowsky continued: “For more than any individual in the media, Drudge dominates his competitors to the degree that he has no competitors, and determines what you watch on television, what you read in newspapers, what you hear on radio, and even what you read on the Internet about politics more than any single person in American history.
 
“MSNBC may claim it is liberal and Fox News may be the house organ for conservatives, but if you turn on either in the morning, you will often see the guiding hand of Drudge.”
 
The fact of the matter, however, is that Drudge himself really exerts very little, if any, influence at all. His website’s merely a resource for access to the most interesting stories written each day. Thus, it’s the writers of those items that have the influence with readers, not Drudge himself.
 
Now, is it true that many of Drudge’s listed items each day have a conservative slant? Yes, it is. However, while those items may irritate liberals, their case is presented as well whenever news is made on their side. In fact, in recent months, several links appear daily to story’s regarding Bill Clinton’s wife and her presidential candidacy. Many of which come from the Washington Post, Huffington Post and the paper of record, The New York Times.
 
In conclusion and further prove the point of the access Drudge provides to just about every news resource in existence, as well as writers of every slant, two lists follow from his website.

Today’s update on Bill Clinton’s wife regards Trey Gowdy House Select Committee on Benghazi, which is now planning to call her three top aides when she was Secretary of State.
 
So, by confirming information collected to date via her subordinates, perhaps the truth of what actually happened will begin to surface at long last.
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
