Page "Matt Drudge" Paragraph 17

On October 22, 2007, New York Times reporter Jim Rutenberg wrote that Republican and Democratic presidential candidates, including Hillary Clinton, were cooperating with Drudge and " working harder than ever to get favorable coverage for their candidates – or unfavorable coverage of competitors – onto the Drudge Report ’ s home page, knowing that television producers, radio talk show hosts and newspaper reporters view it as a bulletin board for the latest news and gossip.

" Rutenberg stated that Nielsen / NetRatings shows that the Drudge Report gets three million unique visitors over the course of a month, or approximately one percent of the population of the United States.
