40% MY ASS

(h/t Atrios)

David Carr of the NYT wrote a PR piece about the Drudge Report without once mentioning how the major radio gasbags, Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, have been promoting the site since Pres. Obama was elected.  Will Bunch at Media Matters puts Drudge into ideological perspective and includes some interesting data:
For additional perspective, Drudge's 1,612,000 unique visitors for April leaves him off the list of top 25 news sites. Drudge Report would place around 40th in the list of top news sites, well below FoxNews.com with its 24,020,000 uniques and below TheBlaze.com, with its 2,034,000 uniques.
The Blaze is Glenda Beck's "news" site.
