Drudge's summer of rage?
by digby
I missed this last week what with all the penis stories. I find it very difficult to believe that this was just a coincidence:
Last week, conservative mega-aggregator the Drudge Report caught flack for posting “a slew of run-of-the-mill summer crime stories that happen to involve black people and suggestively weav[ing] them into a nationwide race riot.” Drudge posted 10 separate headlines — including a massive, above-the-logo one — about this supposed violent “urban” crime wave. Meanwhile, crime is at a 40-year low.
Drudge has a long history of injecting certain GOP memes into the political bloodstream. I'd be very surprised if this wasn't the beginning of a concerted campaign.
