Irresponsible journalism

Here is the current headline on Drudgreport: "WHITE HOUSE SPOKESMAN MCCLELLAN CALLS AIR AMERICA SKIT 'VERY INAPPROPRIATE AND OVER THE LINE'"

Here is the exchange from McClellan's press briefing from today that this headline is lifted from: "Q: If I could get your comment on another matter, somewhat off the news. Yesterday on the radio network Air America, there was a skit that went like this -- an announcer said, "A spoiled child is telling us our Social Security isn't safe anymore so he's going to fix it for us, well here's your answer you ungrateful" -- and there was then an audio sound of four gunshots. "Just try it, you little bastard," the announcer continued. And there was the audio of a gun being cocked. Do you have any comment on that?

MR. McCLELLAN: I haven't heard anything about it until you must mentioned it, but it sounds very inappropriate and over the line to me from the way you described it."

That's it, I'm through with Drudge. I like to go there because he does link to interesting stories but this is jut plain lying.
