The Drudge fudge

Just in case you were wondering, here's the text of the complete fabrication that Matt Drudge posted on his Website, trying to smear CNN reporter Michael Ware. As soon as various media starting to call b.s., it mysteriously disappeared from his site.

"During a live press conference in Baghdad, Senators McCain and Graham were heckled by CNN reporter Michael Ware. An official at the press conference called Ware's conduct 'outrageous,' saying, 'Here you have two United States Senators in Bagdad giving first-hand reports while Ware is laughing and mocking their comments.'"

-- Matt Drudge, on his site. A videotape of the conference proved the "exclusive" story to be a complete fabrication.

Good work, Matt.
