Halperin Praises Hewitt and Drudge

How did I miss this? Very serious TIME Magazine reporter Mark Halperin loves him the Hugh Hewitt and Matt Drudge:

But Halperin himself couldn't be biased, could he? One recalls [Mark Halperin's] remarkable letter to far right-wing radio host Hugh Hewitt last year when he declared, "I really enjoyed our radio talk and I appreciated the opportunity to appear with someone I respect so much....As I said on the show, you and I agree on almost everything we discussed." Halperin wrote in a book he co-authored last year, "Matt Drudge rules our world...Matt Drudge is the gatekeeper... he is the Walter Cronkite of his era."

Walter Cronkite of his era? I hope the real Cronkite tracks down Halperin and goes all spider monkey on him. He may not look it, but Cronkite can still kick ass.
