Editor's Note: This site will come up with an advertisement first, then load the clip; be patient. Also note that the phrasing of the quote below is from someone who is whining about Matt Drudge, so be sure to read it in the context that it is the writer who agrees with the interviewee, and not this site. My impression of the source site is that it exists to rationalize the postion of the MSM, so think of it that way when you read what is written, and listen to the clip. In summary, the MSM is jealous of Mr. Drudge, and clueless about how to get their own left-wing news agenda back in control of the information stream.

From the story: One of the reasons I (Tommy Christopher) started the “Inside the White House Press Corps” series was so that people could see a different side of the people who play a large part in guiding the American political narrative. In this preview of my interview with NBC Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd, we see a more animated figure than we’re used to, discussing the “Drudge Effect” (my phrase) in 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.
