Bird flu is such DrudgeryPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, November 10, 2005 11:10 PM
 Drudge is chicken This is Wikipedia's entry on the Drudge Report: The Drudge Report is a popular U.S.-based news website run by Matt Drudge. The site consists primarily of links to stories from the mainstream media about politics, entertainment, and various current events, and to many popular columnists, although Drudge occasionally authors a story of his own ... The Drudge Report is most famous for being the first entity to break news of the Monica Lewinsky scandal to the public, which led to President Clinton's impeachment and subsequent aquittal. Love him or hate him, Drudge has a superb nose for finding the news that sells in America. Today's small headlines above the Drudge logo: - Bird flu strain found in Italy It's really quite sad. How many people have died in the Kashmir earthquake? Perhaps more than 50 thousand, nobody even knows. How many people die of malaria, bilharzia, diarrhea and other preventable diseases every day? How many people die every day because they work in badly maintained coal mines? Of alll the things to make into news, bird flu is the most preposterous. Links and Sources
