Sunday Night Poll
July 31st, 2005 at 10:03 pm by Preston Taylor HolmesLet’s face it, Drudge has jumped the shark.
Every time I go there, once I get past the dozen-or-so pop-up ads that assail my eyes and offend my sensibilities, all I get is which movie did the most business over the weekend, which cable news network had the best ratings or what Tom Cruise said the day before. Drudge’s obsession with Hollywood and the entertainment industry in general borders on stalkeresque. You have to wonder if Drudge was a failed actor/musician/writer and has used his internet fame to inject himself into the entertainment industry through his rabid coverage.
It doesn’t help when he scoffs at blogs when his site is nothing more than a glorified link dump. At least many bloggers show some creativity and writing skills (well, other than this one, of course) – all Drudge does is link dump and report the occasional BREAKING story based on one of the millions of tips he gets from his network of insiders.
This leads us to this week’s Sunday Night Poll – what’s the worst thing about Drudge these days?

Yeah, the popup ads have gotten pretty egregious.
But he’s really slowed down. Still worth visiting, but he’s just not on top of things like he used to be.
