You've gotta give Matt Drudge some credit for frequently linking to stories that criticise himself, such as this defense of Chris Rock as Oscar host. The mainstream media would do well to emulate this practice and give even a tiny nod to their critics.

Update:
DeoDuce doesn't think Chris Rock is worth defending, but I think perhaps she misses the point of some of his crude humor. I've been known to make an off-color remark or two occasionally for the sake of satire. Anyway, I couldn't care less about who hosts the Oscars or what kind of humor he has, I just think it's neat that Drudge links to his critics.

I suppose I don't find crude, low-class humor as my type of material. That's my opinion, you have yours. People like you will keep Rock up and running off his mouth, people like me will continue to post rants about it.

Crude low-class humour was good enough for Shakespear and Chaucer, so who am I to disagree?
