| Energy Sec. Rick Perry spotted reading Drudge Report at airport |
| 2017-03-11 |
| [The Hill] Energy Secretary Rick Perry was spotted Friday reading the Drudge Report at an airport while waiting for a flight to Texas. A reporter who said he was on the same flight as Perry tweeted photos of Perry, one of which shows the former Texas governor reading the conservative news site run by Matt Drudge. The front page story on the site viewed by Perry appeared to be "GREAT AGAIN: +235,000," which links to a story about the latest jobs report that President Trump shared earlier in the day on Twitter. |

| #7 The MSM thinks it is their right to decide what is and isn't news. Drudge broke that, and that is why they are so hated. |

| #6 Drudge made a business out of giving the world the news the main stream media chooses to ignore. He does a little packaging with a catchy or puny headline and will group related stories together. |

| #5 How do you "read" Drudge? I go there often and all I see is a list of links to other outlets for particular stories. Isn't this what any MSM outlet does? Package a bunch of stories from elsewhere? They certainly don't do any reporting themselves anymore. /sarc. |

| #4 The beltway crowd hates Drudge but they all read him. You can tell by how they react to his releases. They only wish they could get control of his site. |
