Choices and Strategy

The Drudge Report has spent the last two days giving headlines to the major networks' assault on morale at home by presenting desertion-level moral in the warzone.

The blogsphere has yet to pick up on it - at least at a big-time level like Instapundit or Andrew Sullivan - but it does appear to have caught some peoples' attention.

What do you think: is Drudge simply gaming for attention and sensation, is he simply conveying what news outlets are reporting, or might he be playing the wily conservative and exposing the panic-button stories as much as possible to hoist the press by its own petard?
