VANITY: Drudge Hinting Big News
http://drudgereport.com ^ | Vanity

Posted on 09/19/2016 9:12:42 PM PDT by Thickman

Drudge placed a character (reversed apostrophe) in the upper left corner of the page. As I understand it, that means big news is coming . . . (?)

Didn’t we go through this last week, only to find out the character has been there for quite some time?

It’s been there for the past couple of weeks.

Have you cleaned your screen lately?

I think it was everyday last week, or it just seemed that way.

I was watching it. It moved to the right one space and then went back again. I’ll keep an eye on it and report back.

Maybe it’s the start of a black spot from some pirate.

How do you know it means ‘big news’?

I feel really really stupid and I apologize.

I felt certain but I still feel certain.

I really did think it was going to happen on Friday and then when they didn’t I felt sure that it was going to happen on Monday.

And I was wrong again and I was amazed.

I feel like I let you down.

I just felt so sure.

and despite all that I still feel sure it’s there for some for impending news.

Thought it was a news header working its way across the screen.

Turned out to be a fruit fly.

My blind guesses were that it was something about her health or something about the stock market

“Conjecture?”
==
I’d say it that’s all it is and what’s more likely is it’s just a slip-up in the page’s HTML.

Found out it was a ‘grave accent.’

More here about it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grave_accent

Nothing there indicates what you think it is.

Who told you that symbol meant big news from Drudge?
