If this turns out to be a farce, as so many of Drudge's "reports" have proven to be, here's hoping Clinton sues this man a new bung-hole. No one is served by this kind of tripe. Edward The absolute nastiness of this sort of stuff is that Drudge and his like know that it doesn't matter if the story is true or not. The story will stick in the public mind and no one will pay much attention to the refutation--if and when it comes. This is the total corruption of journalism and does not relate to "news." It is the very core of character assassination--whether it has to do with Richard Jewel or Bill Clinton or whoever. And this group is suspect for being titillated by this kind of garbage. Let Drudge wait until the DNA test comes through. Only then is there a story.or no story at all. The name of Drudge's story is "The Humiliation of the U.S. President." No one deserves to be treated this way in the press. Even Larry Flynt knows better. sno0wl Why are youassuming it's not true? J2 I'm assuming nothing. I just think that stories like this should not be printed unless the facts are in and they ARE true. That someone thinks they might be true, does not make such stories newsworthy.

Let's examine your position here Did Druge say that Slick was the father of the boy? No, not to my knowledge. Did he say that a certain woman claimed that he impregnated her? Yes. Did she make that claim? Yes. Did she support her claim with some kind of evidence? Yes (lie detector test). So, based on these things, the story as printed WAS factual. What the readers infered may or may not be. That remains to be seen. That someone thinks they might be true, does not make such stories newsworthy. There are reports every day where someone claims to have been robbed, or beaten, or tricked, or whatever. The news report should be "So and so CLAIMED that thus and so happened to them." Should we wait until after the trial to report the incident? And in the process, much personal damage is done all round. If one sleeps with the dogs, he should expect to have fleas.
