>Well, if you look at the actuall number of 'hits' verses 'misses' I'd think Matt has a pretty good track record. The 'mainstream' news also has made some pretty bad calls - particularly a couple I'm thinking of in the most recent election. <g>

And where do you get the statistical information for the hits vs. misses theory? Let me guess: you heard it on the radio. < g >. Have you or anyone else really done a study analyzing this?

And the mistake in the election fiasco did not attack anyone, while Drudge falsely accused someone of spousal abuse. The two are not even comparable. If Dan Rather had done this, wouldn't there be a huge outcry from the right?

>At least Matt had the courtesy to make an immediate and public retraction and apology.

As did all the news networks with their election fiasco.
