Men's Site Vows to Outdo Drudge

The Washington Times - An aspiring media mogul has thrown down the gauntlet to Matt Drudge.
Mike LaSalle wants to pit his new Men's News Daily Web site against the canny Mr. Drudge and his 5-year-old Drudge Report, the archetypal news and gossip site that has brought many a hair-raising rumor to full flower in other print and broadcast outlets.
"My site is better. It is easily 10 times better. And far more professional, thought-provoking and substantive," Mr. LaSalle said yesterday.
"All the Drudge babies have grown up to be monsters," Mr. Drudge said in a telephone interview from his Florida office. "They're all trying."
Men's News follows the Drudge model, with news of the day and links to some 80 newspapers and journals. But it is tinctured by an unabashed manly agenda. There are a half-dozen "guy sites" and information on a whole constellation of masculine concerns, including links to "Masculinists Trinity," "Suffering Patriarchy" and "Jesus Men," among other things.
"The site is designed to highlight men's issues from an international and essentially conservative perspective," Mr. LaSalle said. "And to give men a place to pick up their daily news unfiltered by the kind of political correctness and pampered journalism common in most news outlets."
He adds quickly, "But we are emphatically not misogynists."
