The website that controls U.S. news

Well, maybe The Drudge Report doesn't "control" the news -- but it certainly influences it.

Matt Drudge broke the Monica Lewinsky scandal back in the day. Since then, he's increasingly becoming required reading for newspeople and politicians of all descriptions. Just yesterday, he turned a chance remark by the Rev. Jesse Jackson into a full-blown media firestorm.

I find myself checking the site more than once a day.
