Matt Drudge
Matt Drudge, the Internet's hottest scoopster and the one-man news bureau, compliments News/Talk 760 WJR's lineup with a political news and gossip show. Drudge exudes the take-no-prisoners attitude that has also earned highly publicized guest spots on "Meet The Press" and "Nightline", as well as widespread scorn from his journalism colleagues.
Drudge is the author of "The Drudge Report",
the widely read Internet Web site that focuses on political news and the business of Hollywood, where he exposed the Monica Lewinsky scandal to the world and scooped "Newsweek".
Drudge was raised in Takoma Park, Maryland, where he was a "loner" and a news junkie, a kid who grew up with talk radio as company. His first jobs included the night shift at a 7-11 and selling TIME Life books over the phone. He moved to Los Angeles over ten years ago and then started "The Drudge Report" in 1995. He was managing the CBS studio gift shop and thought it would be an amusing hobby to use the 'Net to relay the gossip he overheard.
Drudge's declared aim is to give "the American people" the information he believes to be correct or important, and to revolutionize the media industry with a breath of fresh, young air.
