Uh...read back. That was my point. He is known (probably likes the title -- in any event, not my words) as a gossip columnist.
Here's my original quote:
"Does it worry anyone that publications and broadcasters, people who are supposed to be legitimate journalists, are running parts of this story using as attribution, "Matt Drudge, an internet gossip columnist?"
What kind of source is that?"
Whether he's right in this case (in the end) or not, he is reporting rumors. Hardly the credible source I would quote.
But wait, you say, who says they're rumors? Well, he reported when and who were going to break the story -- and it didn't happen.
Right?
