"There's Drudge-driven journalism, and then there's journalism"

I added this question to the rotation based on this kerfuffle from a January briefing, in which Robert Gibbs claimed the press corps had accused the President of being overexposed. Chip Reid pointed out that we were merely asking about a criticism made by the pundits. Since then, most of the reporters I’ve spoken with have dismissed the bleed through as rather harmless, if it exists at all. Chuck Todd is another story, and I agree with him completely.

Says Todd: “There’s no worse crime in journalism these days than simply deciding something’s a story because Drudge links to it.”
