Drudge and the NYT

Posted by Eric at 7:51 am. Filed under: General

While I’m on the subject of random things that I’ve noticed and wondered about….

Recently, whenever Drudge wants to send a user to a New York Times story, he does not link directly to the story, but rather to the Google news listing of the story and lets the user click through for themselves.

For example, today he has:

EX-ADVISER SAYS TAPES ARE WITH BUSH COUNSEL…

Rather than

EX-ADVISER SAYS TAPES ARE WITH BUSH COUNSEL…

And I have no idea why, but there must be a reason. It’s only with NYT as far as I’ve seen. Maybe it’s the “registration required” thing… or maybe it’s something more intriguing.

Got any ideas? (Or does no one else wonder about random things like this?)
