Does Matt check his facts or sources?
I guess some mysteries are meant to be left unsolved. He definitely does not have time to check all of them. But he does pursue a few sources. When the story of Paris Hilton’s Sidekick hacking got out, he called some of the numbers and eventually got an on-air interview with one of her acquaintances. When I compared the entire speech and Q&A at the Washington Press Club in 1998, the transcript reads Matt as saying that he knocked on Monica Lewinsky’s door in L.A. The Drudge Manifesto transcript inexplicably eliminates that line. The elimination may have come from the publisher rather than Matt himself, but that piqued my curiosity. More FAQs to come when time permits.
