I would offer this analysis of Drudge. Early in their development....they were hyped up and covering a wide-array of things. I would suggest over the past five years, that they’ve lost of their steam, and the stories tend to support the ‘unity-party’ or some lobbyist slant on things. I probably still review the page....but now it’s more like twice a week....not twice a day.
If you like the format, but not what Drudge is putting in that format, here is something similar that won’t get your BP up (why I quit Drudge!):

Someone else suggested Liberty Daily & I tried them first before someone else told me about Citizen Free Press. I couldn’t take all the ads on Liberty Daily & switched to CFP. Occasionally I’ll check in on Whatfinger - good stuff, but almost too much & the format is less like Drudge.

Go here, this is a great site, way better than drudge and run by a genuine conservative—
that pic of Roy Moore on his horse with the bold caption - “Brokeback Election” was bad. Not clever in the least. How does one get from horseback to brokeback? Brokeback mountain was a movie with a gay scene I hear. Was drudge trying to call Moore gay? I just don’t get it. Maybe drudge’s gay friends get it. I imagine he giggled like a girl when he came up with it.
Drudge is flipped for the dark side.
Yeah, Drudge never really left the Pink Plantation.
I replaced my link to Drudge with a link to https://thelibertydaily.com
IMHO Drudge jumped the shark a few years ago and I have never gone back.
No I still like Drudge and will continue to check his site.
Thank you!!
Do what you want, Drudge is an aggregator not a news source. If I wish to know more about a story he’s featured, I’ll click on it, otherwise I won’t. Having an emotional reaction to what stories are featured is about as pointless as wishing FR would outlaw vanities and stupid blog posts.
Integrative thinking is required to get a full picture of anything. Those links to news and opinion sources at the bottom of his page? That’s what they’re for.
Tar and feather news network.
Did drudge buy into the false narrative that Trump hates gays?
I got disgusted with Drudge about a year ago and deleted his site from my favorites bar. Turned dark and anti-Trump and just plain nasty.
Haven’t been back, won’t go back and also tell everyone I know who still reads Drudge about to Liberty Daily. Much better website.
Bye, bye Matt. I have NOT missed you.
aka don't bite the hand that feeds you
aka don't look a gift horse in the mouth

“No I still like Drudge and will continue to check his site.”
Fair enough. Just remember he will deliberately slip you a dose of poison from time to time.
On the increasingly infrequent times I go to Drudge, whenever I see a headline I want to explore, the link usually leads me to the NYT or WSJ paywalls. I refuse to give them my money so my time was wasted.
