Anyone Else Notice How Drudge Has Gone Silent on Rovegate?

[Yavin4]

Not a peep. Not one headline. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Nothing. Zed.

1. how unexpected...

not

[johnfunk]

18. Who cares? He's not a news source...

... rather, he's a publicity hound out to make a fast and dirty buck.

[Raster]

2. sludge is a neocon collaborator and a dipshit. of course he would be

silent about kkkarl rove. he's nothing but a * buttkisser in the first degree.

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. another indicator this is serious

[sellitman]

4. Is he still in business?

I stopped reading drudge about the same time I stopped listening to Oxy-contin face. Life is too short.

:puke:

9. I believe his site is one of the most read

[sellitman]

10. By freepers maybe...

I like real news myself.

[barb162]

14. at least half his site is real news, he just "forgets" to report

negative Bush stories most of the time. He always remembers to report all negative Democratic stories

[Inland]

5. Lack of talking points from WH and RNC means no Drudge Report.

WH and RNC are now taking the fifth and refusing to say anything lest Rove get indicted. Bushite rightwingers now don't know what to say, can't make deadlines.

6. He went silent on Gannon too.

I wonder how deep he was in the conservative media conspiracy of the 90s? I mean, all roads to the MSM started with Drudge back then.

7. Hard to believe he can't find any pro-Rove articles

or articles attacking Wilson. I see people on the cable shows attacking Wilson.

8. He had a small headline on it earlier today, but it wasn't the blasting

big print headline; it was buried in regular type in the middle column. It's gone now. SO I emailed a message to him just now: Did you forget about Karl Rove (Valerie Plame), sweetie?

11. Brownstain Control...Who Else Is In Trouble...

The fun of what's going on is not what's going on. Around the beltway there's a lot of buzzing going on...not just about Rove but every talking head in that town figuring if they're in deep shit if Rove gets in real trouble.

If Fitzgerald decides to prosecute...especially if it's a conspiracy or perjury case, the beltway media will be on trial just as much as this corrupt administration. Mum is very much the word.

I couldn't help but notice in yesterday's "gaggle", our friend, Dana Milbanks, trying to get in on this thing called "journalism"...with a couple nasty shots at Snotty. He's one I'd love to put on the stand and have him tell us what he's been told...and while we're at it, could ya explain how Jeff Gannon ever got in here?

Thank goodness for the internet...the corporate media spin is getting outspun by the truth and the blogs...especially DU!!!

12. I never pay any attention to drudge so no I haven't noticed.

I hear FOX has been kind of quiet too but I never watch them either.

[dbt]

13. How can you tell when a Republican is in SERIOUS trouble?

They finally shut up. If the bu$h gang had any hope at all for Frogboy, they'd be yammering like a herd of chihuahuas. That their boy Drudge has fallen silent fairly ROARS.

:popcorn:

[stanwyck]

16. so true!

I go to Drudge occasionally (another one of my bad habits). Just to see what is really pushing the freeper hot buttons.
And the lack of Gannon stories and the lack of Rove stories IS very telling.
Yep. You're right. That's when it's serious.
When the Bush Stonewall goes up by all his little brick masons.
They hide behind the wall and hope the big, bad story goes away.
And, thanks to our "cooperative and cowardly" media, it does.

[mattclearing]

15. Actually, he's been covering it.

It was his headline last night, and he carried Bush's no comment as well.

On edit:

And I'm not hearing it about the "don't go giving him more hits," thing, so don't bother flaming. I read everything.

Current headlines:

WSJ: Karl Rove, Whistleblower...

Civil War, D.C.-style...

Bush Won't Comment on Rove During Probe...

NYT: Rove Case May Test President's Loyalty to His Closest Aides...

ROVE, OH NO!...

[Goldmund]

17. You missed it

Because it's accompanied by a picture of -- who else? -- "Hitlery".
