The political establishment in Washington D.C. is not happy with Internet trailblazer Matt Drudge for linking to Infowars.com, with the Obama front group Think Progress deeming it necessary to devote an entire article to whining about the fact that Drudge promotes alternative media sources.

In a piece entitled, Drudge Funneled At Least 30 Million Visitors To Conspiracy Websites..., Think Progress’ Aviva Shen throws her toys out of the pram at the fact that, “Drudge drove over 30 million page views to World Net Daily and InfoWars in the last year.”

Shen points out that a single Drudge link can drive as many as 500,000 page views to an article, and that Drudge himself has been called “the Walter Cronkite of his era.”

Shen divulges how Think Progress conducted a study which “found that, throughout the year, Drudge frequently and consistently linked to conspiracy sites,” as if it was some dark and dirty secret that Infowars and WND stories had appeared on DrudgeReport.com.

The Drudge Report is a smorgasbord of links, most to mainstream media sources, with some alternative media outlets thrown in for good measure. Drudge links to news stories that are often controversial but never without merit. To presume that Drudge and his staff agree completely with the viewpoints expressed in the hundreds of stories they post every week would be idiocy.

Why is Think Progress so terrified of who Drudge chooses to link to?

The answer becomes clear when you understand the fact that Think Progress is nothing more than an Obama White House propaganda mouthpiece.
