Matt Drudge has gotten famous for reinventing journalism and his site gets more than a million looks a month. His news ranges from Hollywood gossip to the latest from Washington. He often breaks news before anyone else gets it, in part because he doesn't always check his facts as well more reputable media types. So there's been a lawsuit or two. But it's good reading, and there's a box to send in your own news tips.
Confidentiality is assured.
His site also includes a huge list of links to news wires, columnists, etc. There's also some history. A recent issue had a short biography of Huey Long that included a recording of a 1930 speech by the Kingfish. A recent issue had everything from David Horowitz, who calls himself a former liberal, praising Bill Clinton to Camille Paglia deconstructing the Kennedys. Some are compressed and must be unzipped, but most are immediately accessible.
