He's reporting it as fact.
I looked at the front page. That's where the "headlines" are. duh. Unless Rick Perry is entertainment, you're wrong.

I'm still not understanding the issue here. Did you find the SNL skit offensive? In the skit he takes a picture of his junk and sends it to Hillary. That's what the headline says. What's the issue here?
The headline itself says it was on SNL. Whether you find the skit funny or not, it was an accurate report of what happened.

What's the issue with Drudge? That's what Howey is bringing up.
I like to scan Drudge but I have the same issue that the headlines don't always match the story. On this one I don't see what the problem is.
And Newsbusters and Rana agree on something. That's not an all too common occurance I'm sure.
I couldn't care less about it either way. Drudge is almost 100% just a conglomeration of links from other sources, most of which are CBS, CNN, etc. On some occasions they write their own story, but it is rare. In this case they linked to a story on a different page that has that headline, it says it clearly in the headline that it was on SNL...
I don't know what Howey's issue is... Maybe he doesn't know what SNL is.

You are getting dense, aren't you? The issue is the Drudge headline doesn't mention it was a skit. It reported it as news.
lol...Newsbusters.

You're as fucking dense as Cawacko.
1. Drudge writes the headlines that link to the story. The headline's a lie. Bieber did not send a pic of his penis to Clinton. Drudge reported it as news. It's a smarmy lie.

Do you think people don't know what SNL is?
I have a man, thank you. I don't need to see his.
I think that the teabagger idiots that read that headline really, really believe that Bieber sent Clinton a picture of his dick. Just like y'all believe all the rest of the shit on Drudge.
Wanna buy some fool's gold?

Howey does have a point, there are people who don't know what SNL is and would, from the headlines think Bieber sent the pic to Hillary Clinton.
Drudge does have a way of headlining things that if you didn't read the article attached you would think it occurred.

Ok, so do we have any examples of this occurring?
And what if the headline said Beiber sends Hillary a picture of his junk in an SNL skit and the person doesn't know what SNL is or know what a skit is? Should we go as far as to ban headlines to avoid any potential confusion?
