20 Years Later, the Media Still Sucks

Twenty Years Ago Today Matt Drudge published this exclusive:

Web Posted: 01/17/98 23:32:47 PST -- NEWSWEEK KILLS STORY ON WHITE HOUSE INTERN 
BLOCKBUSTER REPORT: 23-YEAR OLD, FORMER WHITE HOUSE INTERN, SEX RELATIONSHIP WITH PRESIDENT 
**World Exclusive****Must Credit the DRUDGE REPORT** 
At the last minute, at 6 p.m. on Saturday evening, NEWSWEEK magazine killed a story that was destined to shake official Washington to its foundation: A White House intern carried on a sexual affair with the President of the United States! 


Most people get this story wrong.

Drudge's target wasn't President Clinton. It was Newsweek. The magazine thought of every excuse it could to spike Michael Isakoff's  story. 


It's an old story, the media helping Dems.

When James O'Keefe took his ACORN tapes to Andrew Breitbart, he said, 'We're going to nail ACORN.' Breitbart replied, 'No, we're going to nail the media.'

And so they did.

Today Drudge thrives while Newsweek has slashed its page numbers in half.

By the way, we write for magazines that have maintained their page numbers and actually expanded over the same period that Newsweek has shrunk.

To quote Andrew Breitbart (PBUH) once more, 'It's not your business model that sucks. It you that sucks.
