The Drudge Report is turning into the same "garbage in/garbage out" as most of the rest of the media.
Two recent back to back headlines read...
"UN SCHOOL HORROR IN GAZA; TANK FIRE KILLS DOZENS..."
"Israeli army says mortar shells fired from school, infantry returned fire..."
The first is taken as fact: "UN School?" How about "UN School used as Hamas stronghold and source of mortar fire?" Maybe that's too complicated for most journalists.
The second is taken as "someone says", as in "its probably not true, but..."
This kind of "take the terrorists word for it" and "question our allies" is all too typical of the media, including Drudge.
