Drudge does not retract? Are you suffering from a lack of reading comprehension or are you deliberately being obtuse?

Here's the actual Drudge retraction, sent to AOL and Drudge subscribers:

http://www.techlawjournal.com/courts/drudge/70812ret.htm

Then there's this, from the court filings in the Blumenthal v. Drudge case:

"On August 10, 1997, Drudge transmitted the report from Los Angeles, California by email to his direct subscribers and posted the information about Blumenthal on AOL, which was hosting the Drudge Report at the time. After receiving a letter from plaintiffs' counsel on August 11, 1997, Drudge retracted the story through a special edition of the Drudge Report posted on AOL and emailed to his subscribers."

MediaMatters reported it in Jan. 2009, but I'm sure you'll dismiss it as non-credible: http://mediamatters.org/research/2009/01/07/during-today-interview-coulter-falsely-claimed/146714

"In addition, on August 12, 1997, Drudge issued a retraction regarding a false allegation posted about Blumenthal's personal life. A Washington Post article (retrieved from Nexis) reported that Drudge "based his report Sunday on anonymous sources" and "claimed that Blumenthal, who began work yesterday as an assistant to President Clinton, 'has a spousal abuse past that has been effectively covered up.' " The article continued:

Drudge said last night that he is retracting the story."

And whaddyaknow! The retraction was discussed in a law textbook, "E-commerce Law and Business," edited by Mark E. Plotkin, Bert Wells, and Kurt A. Wimmer:

books.google.com/books?id=LhQbQJ9TF7gC&pg=SA13-PA39&lpg=SA13-PA39&dq=retractions+on+drudge&source=bl&ots=shCiVSipBT&sig=fMP0UHz33PjuLD7YB_yrO8TaxRc&hl=en&sa=X&ei=72sLUOLJIc-02AXPjYwp&ved=0CGcQ6AEwCTgU#v=onepage&q=retractions on drudge&f=false

See footnote 149 on page 13-39:

"Drudge posted a retraction in a special edition of the Drudge Report the day after the Blumenthal story first appeared. The retraction appeared on AOL's service two days after the story first appeared."

Gormogon has you pegged: "Debating you is senseless because you are twist your words and don't stand by your statements."
