Difference between Huffington Post, Drudge Report

The major difference that I noted between Drudge Report and the Huffington Post is that the Post looks more like a site for a major news organization while Drudge Report is more like a tabloid.

Drudge has links to other sites but normally won't create their own posts. The Post writes mini posts as if they are news stories and you'll also see frequent columns.

Both sites like to link out to official news organizations although the Huffington Post will link to other blogs as well.

The one thing they both have in common is that they have big headlines and use a lot of pictures. Most of the pictures are ones that probably wouldn't be in newspapers as they portray a certain image. The stories will usually be about something provocative and will draw a lot of comments.
