The Drudgification of America

by AltHippo @ 10:34 pm. Filed under Uncategorized

You know who I don’t like? Matt Drudge. Somehow he’s passed himself off to the media heathers of our fair city as a good guy to know. Yeah, though they walk in the valley of falling readership, Drudge comforteth them. He leadeth them beside still web sites. He rocketh their world.

Lately I notice that links from the Drudge Report, particularly to liberal blogs and web sites, attract the nuttier of the fundamentalists. Ordinarily this would be a source of complaint. At least this comment was amusing: (commenter on a David Corn post at Mother Jones):

The left including the Democratic party, the media, Hollywood, and liberals feel that America is a country run by a cult. Christians. They don’t believe Jesus was the son of God in fact most of them don’t believe in God at all. Other than maybe some squishy concept. So they feel as though we as a Christian nation is under the umbrella of a cult. Same as Charles Manson, Jimmy Jones, Harry Krishna.

Whatever happened to Harry Krishna anyway? Is he still doing those Dirty Harry Krishna movies?
