Fox news and I agree with Marp about Shep Smith...he is great at breaking news.

Drudge isn't a news source. He doesn't have reporters or a news organization.
They compile information from many other sites and put their own "spin"in the headlines.
Drudge is a news aggregator, @terrier3, and one of the most influential players on the web. I guarantee I know a great deal more about these things than you do. Drudge can take an obscure story and make millions of people aware of it. He's a genius in terms of his headlines and the composition of his site. He combs through sources worldwide and brings us all kinds of foreign reporting and reporting on tech issues that we would never see.
A news aggregator means that he doesn't actually "report" anything - or have any reporters. He has no way of verifying anything he publishes on his site. He compiles info from other sources and puts on interesting headlines that appeal to people like you...they get lots of clicks
I sell television news...and web based advertising too...I do think I know a "little" about what I am discussing.
In the interest of remaining civil, and in light of the serious events of the day, I'm not going to discuss with you further.
I don't want a disagreement or an argument...it's not respectful, IMO.

@terrier3 No way of verifying anything? He draws from the major publications and broadcasters from around the world! The past track record and reputation of an outlet lets him know how reliable the info would be. And, believe me, after 20 years he knows plenty about this. I'm sure that all the major news outlets tip Drudge off when they have something big in the works. They want him to feature it on his site because it will drive traffic to their sites. He just ran a notice a few days ago about the many major news sites he is leaving in the dust. He doesn't run stories about alien abductions and people seeing Elvis in their toast, after all!

Alright, so what he does is like qualitative analysis. Most grad students have to do this before beginning their thesis.

I watch CBS in the morning. Enjoy Charlie, Gail and Nora. Followed by CNN and CBC.

Any network that is NOT Fox News. Also I read the New York Times, because tv news does not really cover a subject deep enough. These days more than ever, we need to at least try to understand our world.
