So in an effort to make the conversation on this pod a bit more on point I think it is worth reevaluating the nature of this article.

We have a tabloid that has published a photo of someone who they claim to be Michael Phelps... smoking a bong. Drudge has put this up in red, front and center on it's page

So, even though DR's headline does state explicitly that it is a CLAIM by paper.


...is it right (even though it's somewhat expected) that a tabloid would infringe upon someone's personal life this way?

...is it right for a site such as Drudge Report to be publishing claims front and center. Would they be doing this as easily if it were a politician accused of treason? Is this simply for increased traffic on his site at the expense of a hard working athlete?
