DrudgeReporter Direct Creative: Can good design be ugly?

Can good design be ugly? In a recent article on 37signals, a writer asked the question, “Can good design also be ugly?” He’s referring to the Drudge Report, a news site that is loved (and hated) by millions. It’s one of the most popular and successful Web sites in the world. And it’s profoundly ugly. The writer’s conclusion is that, yes, good design can be ugly. And I heartily agree. He says th… Continue

DrudgeReporter Washington Post: Obama and the Transparency Trap

washingtonpost.com's Politics Blog Obama and the Transparency Trap Has President-elect Barack Obama been transparent enough? One of the most common -- and popular -- mantras during the campaign of President-elect Barack Obama was the call for more transparency in government -- an obvious rejection of the secrecy that often shrouded the administration of President George W. Bush. And yet, that call for transparency often ran directly into a careful husbanding of information by Obama's… Continue

DrudgeReporter USA-Flag-Site.org: Global Warming Fraud

Global Warming FraudPublished in December 10th, 2008 Posted by Berlet DrudgeReport.com often pairs conflicting stories with the same admirable goal as Fox News’ motto of, “We report, you decide,” and unlike the liberal press approach of, “This is the truth, now shut up and do what you’re told!” This particular pairing is positively scary. On the one hand, we have the AP story about global warming, “Thousands Negotiate New Climate Treaty,” http://www.livescience.com/environment/08… Continue

DrudgeReporter Belfast Telegraph: Andrew Keen: Obama’s landslide will throw up conservative bloggers

Andrew Keen: Obama’s landslide will throw up conservative bloggers Monday, 10 November 2008 For the past few months my pre-breakfast morning ritual has been determined by American opinion polls. As a political junkie, the first thing I’ve done every morning over the last six months has been to check out the latest opinion polls at RealClearPolitics.com. Then I’ve gone to Politico.com, FiveThirtyEight.com, CNN.com, News.Yahoo.com, and blogs like the HuffingtonPost.com, TheDailyDish.com and Dr… Continue

DrudgeReporter New York Times: Moments that Mattered

Published: November 21, 2008 (Page 3 of 3) CODE RED By the end of the campaign, I was seeing the Drudge siren in my sleep. As people in politics know all too well, Matt Drudge, the Internet provocateur who runs the Drudge Report Web site, posts a flashing siren whenever he wants to alert readers to major campaign news or rumors. The siren haunted my dreams and was always in the corner of my eye — except when it was in plain sight, on my computer screen, signifying success o… Continue

DrudgeReporter Sound Bitten: The Secret History of the Drudge Report

THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE DRUDGE REPORT


One of the things that has always frustrated me about the Drudge Report is its lack of an archive. Every month, millions of people read Matt Drudge's dispatches, but few of these dispatches ever remain on his site for more than a couple days or so. Imagine if great portions of the New York Times, or the Washington Post, or any other major news source t… Continue
