The third episode in the new installment of Ryan Murphy’s “American Crime Story” anthology brings together three of its nastiest characters so far
brings together three of its nastiest characters so far — which is saying a lot given that the series is teeming with duplicitous, attention-seeking creatures of the Beltway sort.
Matt Drudge , Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham converge in the episode, titled “Not to Be Believed,” like a perfect storm. Angry and fast-moving, they’re gathering energy with the goal of infiltrating the liberal news media with conservative views — facts, vetting and objectivity be damned.“The Drudge Report is one of the biggest sites on the World Wide Web,” says Ingraham while introducing Drudge to her guests.
On that front, Drudge is making a name for himself. It’s impressive, especially since the eccentric gossip columnist was managing a gift shop on the CBS lot a few years prior. The greatest gift, however, was his access to trash bins on the lot. The series shows him finding one of his earliest Hollywood “scoops” — “Seinfeld is the highest paid actor in television!” — while dumpster diving after his shift.
From then on, Drudge dons a 1930s-style hat and speaks like another relic from that era, radio news commentator and newspaper columnist Walter Winchell. When a real reporter from Newsweek crosses paths with Drudge for the first time, he’s taken aback: “Is this for real? The voice? The costume?” asks Michael Isikoff .“Impeachment” shows how Drudge, along with a constellation of other far-right outsiders, used the Clinton scandal to show folks like Isikoff just how real they were.
