Free Republic mention. Correct on Lucianne, wrong on Drudge timeline. He had started his site several years before. The back story

Goldberg was an early prominent presence on the conservative website Free Republic in the late 1990s, but she left the site at about the same time that Drudge departed to establish his own website. Goldberg founded her own website, Lucianne.com.

Whoa.

Matt's site was up and running and had a link named "Whitewater" when most of us found this site.

The way I remember it, Matt, his dad and Jim were early "bulletin board" guys who had brought their sites main stream in 97.

There was a point at about the same time Lucianne left that Drudge dropped the long standing link to FR. But we all know that there were those here that got Matt's irritation level up.

While we didn't actually have someone hack his site, there were those that ferreted out some of his links he held back for special purposes and exposed stories he had staged to run later. It's been great to see Jonah make his way to prominence but like any analyst I will find things I disagree with when I want to look.

Correct on Drudge as I believe I found FR from a link on drudge.
