Drudge Report censoring it's own news reporting???
Earlier in the evening I surfed on over to Drudge Report and the lead story headlines were about Aristide claiming he was kidnapped in a coup - the link Drudge used for the story took the reader to Democracy Now, a Pacifica Radio Network radio station that many on the right would consider "leftist" - never mind the fact that Demcracy Now has broken just about every story 6 mos to a year before the rest of the pack as far as this criminal administration is concerned - anyway

I went back over to Drudge and he has changed his link to the story to a more "sanitized" website, something called "My Way"

I must say, I was pleasantly surprised earlier in the day when he had the Democracy Now link, maybe more of his rightwing readers would get exposed to an alternate news source and actually come up with some "hard" news to judge these crooks by... But now I see Drudge has "cleaned up the story" as it were and has kept his readers safely out of the clutches of being exposed to information that may be harmful to their worldview....

1. Knowing Drudge ...

He probably didn't realize the origin of the link.
