Biography of Matt Drudge
I do most of my business on that dirty Internet that you were just talking about, where I find there is a lot of freedom to report exactly what I want.
Tags: Business, Freedom, TalkingI envision a future where there'll be 300 million reporters, where anyone from anywhere can report for any reason. It's freedom of participation absolutely realized.
Tags: Freedom, Future, ReasonI follow my conscience - and this is upsetting to some people, but I maintain the conscience is going to be the only thing between us and communication in the future.

Tags: Busy, Future, TomorrowI want one place I can go that is not going to be lewd, and I'm not sure there is anything left.
Tags: Left, Place, SureI was first to break the news about the death of Lady Diana. The CNN team couldn't get into makeup fast enough.
Tags: Death, Enough, TeamI'm not mean.
