Kara, funny you should need to emphasize the WSJ’s right-wing cred here. I did the opposite on Kos the other day, where I guess many know the paper mainly by its op-ed rep and know nothing about its great investigative reporting – which might appear “left” to those who don’t like to see business shenanigans exposed. http://www.dailykos.com/commen.....6/119#c119

Um, a lot of people apparently.

And yes, the WSJ is well known as a hotbed of lefties, starting with our new owner, Rupert Murdoch.

Huffington post is a far left hate site. Who visits it besides reporters of the WSJ?

I think its important to note that Drudge is simply a link site and gets very little or any traffic benefit from search or any other long tail effects. You either type it in or bookmark it. Thats about it.

Do you know anything Juicy about arianna ?

There is a Joe Frank radio monologue (Frank was a KCRW artist and Macarthur Fellow), where he goes on a date with Huffington.

It is a hilarious contrast of personalities – the brooding pale East coast Jewish intelligenstia creative v.s the tall and athletic and healthy California Shikse culture. In the story, she basically Power Walks Joe Frank into the ground and a near heart attack on the Fist date.
