Drudge does not appear to care whether his postings are accurate; he claims a scoop when they are and buries them when they are not (frequently without retraction, correction or apology). The media outlets (and I'm not addressing the issue as to whether Drudge is a legitimate member of the media) could benefit from a (military?) motto I once read; to wit: "In God we trust; verify all others" /Mitch
