The ''Drudge Report'' is an American news aggregation website. Run by Matt Drudge with the help of Charles Hurt,〔Calderone, Michael (2011-05-12). (Matt Drudge Hires Washington Times Columnist Charles Hurt ). ''The Washington Post''. Retrieved 2011-05-13.〕 the site consists mainly of links to stories from the United States and international mainstream media about politics, entertainment, and current events; it also has links to many columnists. Viewpoints expressed on the website are often considered conservative.〔MacAskill, Ewen, "Conservative media release old video of Obama in so-called 'explosive' exclusive," The Guardian, October 3, 2012, http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/oct/03/obama-video-pastor-hurricane-katrina〕〔The Associated Press, "Drudge Report, Hannity seize on 2007 Barack Obama video from Hampton University speech; cite racism," Clarion Ledger, October 2, 2012, http://www.clarionledger.com/viewart/20121002/NEWS/121002050/Drudge-Report-Hannity-seize-2007-Barack-Obama-video-from-Hampton-University-speech-cite-racism?odyssey=nav%7Chead〕〔Lee, Kristen, "Republicans pounce on Obama’s comment that Libya deaths were not ‘optimal’," New York Daily News, October 19, 2012, http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/republicans-pounce-obama-optimal-comment-article-1.1187424〕〔Deruy, Emily, "Why This ‘Obama Phone’ Ad Is Misleading," ABC News, October 18, 2012, http://abcnews.go.com/ABC_Univision/Politics/myth-obama-phone/story?id=17507339#.UIQXNFI6ySo〕 Occasionally, Drudge authors new stories himself, based on tips. The ''Drudge Report'' originated in 1996 as a weekly subscriber-based eMail dispatch. It was the first news source to break the Monica Lewinsky scandal to the public, after ''Newsweek'' decided not to publish the story. ==Origins== The ''Drudge Report'' started as a gossip column focusing on Hollywood and Washington, D.C. Matt Drudge began the email-based newsletter from an apartment in Hollywood, California using his connections with industry and media insiders to break stories, sometimes before they hit the mainstream media. In its early days Drudge maintained the website from his home in Miami Beach, Florida, with help from assistants in story selection and headline writing. His first assistant was Andrew Breitbart. Breitbart, who described himself as "Matt Drudge's bitch", worked the afternoon shift at the ''Drudge Report'', at the same time as running his own website ''breitbart.com'' and another website ''BigHollywood.com'', providing a conservative perspective for people in the Los Angeles entertainment industry. John Ziegler has said that Drudge blocked Breitbart from posting content critical of Barack Obama during the 2008 campaign for the US Presidency.〔Ziegler, John (March 7, 2012). (Matt Drudge Intentionally Ignored Negative Stories to Help Elect Barack Obama ). ''News release''. Retrieved March 9, 2012.〕 In 2010, Drudge added to the ''Drudge Report'' staff former columnist for ''The Washington Times'', Joseph Curl. In 2011, he added to the staff Charles Hurt, most recently the Washington bureau chief of the ''New York Post'' and a columnist for the ''The Washington Times''.〔 Curl, who served as morning shift editor, left the site in 2014 and, with Drudge's blessing, in January 2015 launched his own aggregator ''Right Read'', for ''The Washington Times''.〔Calderone, Michael (January 5, 2015).

In 1998, Drudge made national waves when he broke the news that ''Newsweek'' magazine had information on an inappropriate relationship between "a White House intern" and President Bill Clinton—the Monica Lewinsky scandal—but was withholding publication. After Drudge's report came out, ''Newsweek'' published the story. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Drudge Report」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
