Subject: review: drudge, as in sludge
Kettmann's review of Matt Drudge's book, well, sucks. ("Review: Drudge, as in Sludge," Nov. 2, 2000) The truth is Drudgehas re-defined online journalism not into what he wants it to be, but whatit really is. If it is ugly, it is simply because so-called professionaljournalism is already ugly. I resent Kettmann's elitism, as if he doesn'tenvy the spotlight Drudge enjoys. It's a shame that snobbish writerscontinue to ignore the realities of public need. We want the truth, not youropinions.
