Done with Drudge
fr | Pollard

Posted on 07/01/2017 5:56:03 AM PDT by Pollard

Has Matt Drudge been muted or is he more worried about pleasing everyone for clicks/ratings than doing the right thing these days?

No sign of O'Keefe's Veritas videos even though the deputy press secretary herself mentions one of the videos.

I sent him a tip.

"No O'Keefe videos? I'm done. Moving on to whatfinger.com"

Similar to drudge but run by patriots

meh...I dunno.

Been to Drudge at least 5x a day since Rush 1st mentioned him back in the 90’s.

I think you’re being too harsh.

O’Keiffe videos were front and top on Drudge.

What you posted is not accurate -it is WRONG. I have yet to see a correction made by you. Why would I trust anything you say after this post?

I strongly second that!
Conservatives and this site owe Drudge appreciation for being a solid conservative counter-force to the world media’s leftist bias over the past twenty years.

Thank you Matt and Jim & John Robinson!

Re:

Drudge is my hero! I can’t imagine news without him.

I don’t know how he keeps up to date at all times. Amazing.

I realize that. Nonetheless it has been my observation over the years that they do not update much on weekends.


I agree. Drudge must look at it like an old Sunday morning newspaper. It didn’t update either.

And also have javascript turned off.

True that! Drudge loads much faster with a good ad blocker and javascript turned off.

Still my go-to place to check for breaking news, then straight to FR for more links and commentary.

Drudge is a bit lazy with the hyperlinks sometimes and definitely has an unhealthy obsession with news about gay male porn stars but at least he keeps those down at the bottom.

I love Drudge. I go there constantly through the day while spinning through the other conservative sites. Ignoring the links to things I won’t enjoy, like things about animal injuries and liberals, I can find a good number of amusing stories and things I feel I need to know about, and I can find them quickly. The way he uses headlines is brilliant. As for the 3rd video, a man walking away from questions really isn’t in the same league as someone calling viewers stupid. And, yes, the site rarely seems to update on weekends, but I check anyway, just in case. If the world was going to end, I feel pretty sure I’d see a headline on Drudge first.

Amen to that. Matt used to stop and talk with us outside the White House Correspondents Dinner way back when he would attend the dinner. The FReepers were out protesting the media, of course.

One year, 2000 to be precise, I gave Matt the shirt off my back so he could wear it inside the dinner. The t-shirt had the famous photo of Elian Gonzalez taken at gunpoint by the feds emblazoned on it. Drudge wore the shirt in front of Bill Clinton. He stood in front of Clinton as Clinton sat on the dais. Bold.

Drudge had the O’Keefe link up when it was first released... he moves on quickly since it’s a news site... sorry you missed it.
