Drudge Report Is Still Best Site For News
Is there a better news site for ADHD adult readers like me? I know, I know- before you start- some folks claim Drudge is biased and news services hate him. Just hear me out, then you can set me straight.
Where is the bias?
The Drudge Report has headline links from virtually all relevant news sources. There is no commentary and no place for commenting. In addition to current headline links, the sight provides a simple directory of direct links to just about every relevant national and international newspaper, journal, magazine and wire service. Links to syndicated columnists and all types of pundits from every persuasion are listed.
This morning on Drudge, there is a link to a negative story about Republican Katherine Harris, Murtha is being sued by a Marine, Cynthia McKinney is suing her local paper and the Lieberman campain gets a big boost (slant is mine) by Sharpton and Jackson campaining against him. There is a headline of a new Drudge copy cat, The Fudge Report.
Now This Is Bias
If do want to see subjective, extreme bias- go to Fudge or The Drudge Retort or the Huffington Post(he actually has a link to it.), but you won't find it at the original Drudge Peport.

Drudge is useful, but highly biased. The bias generally comes in the placement and duration of headlines. He emphasizes stories that support his POV, and downplays those that don't.
