Conservatives Need To Consolidate
Skimming this post from Media Matters got me thinking: in an age where every conservative with a computer and Internet access can put their own spin on the news, why is the Drudge Report still relevant?
I mean, places like Newsbusters has more staff and resources, right? And they pretty much do the same thing...only with more explanation. Or places like The Corner. Or Redstate.
I mean, we're not talking about sites like Michelle Malkin or Ann Coulter, where conservatives give their own personal opinion on issues and news events. We're talking about a guy who just takes headlines and changes them to favor conservatives (when's the last time he's written a substantial, or controversial opinion piece?).
Seriously, any conservative can do the cut-and-revise-paste thing. So why do they even bother going to Drudge?
