And that's what Matt Drudge, journalism's one-man band of breaking news, relied on when he spilled the Lewinskygate beans over the Internet.
Fictional truth is actually better than the real truth.
Al Smudge's Smudge Report proves it. This bastard cousin of the Drudge Report takes all the functionality of Matt Drudge's raison d'etre and complements the list of links with some news he just plumb made up. It's not true, but it sure makes for a great read. Fortunately for us, he wasn't wandering around or we never would have found him. But with my encouragement, I think a lot of people will finally get through it for the first time.
