I recently gave a piece of advice to a friend who did not share my opinion that America was in serious trouble, serious enough that its very existence is in danger. That advice was to read the headlines only on the Drudge Report for one month. That's it. Just read the headlines for one month and if there is any semblance of discernment left from this suicidal culture then one should see that these are times like no other in our nation's history and that this world is as in the days of Noah. I give that same advice to you in this post.
There's not a whole lot of analysis involved in the Drudge Report, in fact there's probably none. What Matt Drudge does is take news articles from media sources around the country and around the world and link them to his website. Below these stories he has links to about 100 individual websites from people such as Charles Krauthammer, Rush Limbaugh and Thomas Sowell to Liz Smith, Maureen Down and Peggy Noonen. Alongside this he has another 100 or so links to newspapers, magazines and news outlets. As I write this post, the Drudge Report claims 24 million hits in the last 24 hours and almost 9 billion hits in the last year. Half of them are probably mine but that's still a lot of hits.
Lest anyone think that I'm some kind of Drudge groupie, he often makes me just shake my head. I question his wording on many of the primary headlines and I think that he must either sleep through the weekend or celebrate somewhere, for miraculously it seems that all the world's news just about stops for 48 hours. So, I'm not a great fan but what he puts out is necessary. It's simple and it informs about 1000% over what the mainstream news media does. Limbaugh will comment on it on his show regularly and so will Mark Levin.
The Drudge Report has been around for twenty years. Matt Drudge had a couple of major scoops at the beginning and he was on his way after that. He's an 'old school' reporter, conservative but somewhat libertarian and he's as tenacious as a pit bull. He supplies that which the mainstream media refuses to report and provides an invaluable service to Americans. One will also see on the Drudge Report, stories of those who are fighting tooth and nail to slow the hemorrhage in our national defense, shore up what is left of our Constitution and restore some sense of sanity to our culture.
Admittedly, reading Drudge does not guarantee an awareness on our condition just as one can read every word in the Bible many times over and have no clue as who Jesus Christ is or what His Gospel proclaims but there are those out there whose eyes will be opened when they read for the first time.
What one will not get in any way shape or form from the Drudge Report is that which is our only hope....the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Well, I shouldn't say that for occasionally there will be a report on something that Franklin Graham has said or that his father Billy has written in Decision Magazine. No, the answers for America are not generally to be found on the Drudge Report, only the evidences of God's hand having been lifted from our nation.....but that is a start anyway!
