I haven’t been to the drudge site in years. I survived just fine. I still don’t see the fascination with it.
Isn’t Drudge something that you do that you don’t want to do?
It’s been ten years since I visited Drudge.And it will be sixty years before I visit him again.
Even if he sold it, cooperating to trick audiences through his name is still a pretty scummy thing to do.
Yes
I used to have Drudge as my homepage on my old computer, but when that went on the fritz and I had to buy me a new one, I forgot all about it. BTW I found FR on Drudge, on April 18, 1998
The Drudge Report used to be the “go-to” place for the latest news and information.
Now, not so much. In a way, I kind of feel bad for him.
And if I recall correctly, he went out with Ann Coulter for a while. I wonder what happened there. Maybe he got really hurt by the break-up, depressed, and turned off from conservativism (as if Ann is really a conservative nowadays).
Does the article mention that he sold the site?
Those people have no morals, and rigorously and violently hold the other side to their morals. You can’t really beat that without getting at least a little dirty yourself.
Like someone said, if you wanted to hear about Allah in an inclusive Church, you would go straight to the Mosque to do that instead. Same with Drudge, people might as well go to CNN if they want their liberal tripe
There is one thing these paranoiac cultist of islam or the left hate more than a straight up declared “infidel”, is someone who does these feigns that they are of their faith.
They do not like potential spies and Taqya done to themselves
Have we’ve now officially gotten everyone over 50 off of Drudge, or are we still going to have years more of the slowest people on Earth breathlessly “informing” us about that site’s change?
Slowly he went from my news site to off my list of most visited sites and I never noticed.
I never bothered with Drudge. Never had to. As soon as he posted something on his site, it would be immediately reposted here, usually by two or three people.
I tend to agree and it happens all the time. Every time a celebrity or actor lends their name to a product or service it's just as scummy. "Brands" get sold all the time and a large portion of them fail and go under.
Here in the Chicago area we have a famous place named Portillo's which was known in it's infancy for great hot dogs and italian beef sammiches. I used to drive by the original "dog hot" daily back in the day.
Dick Portillo owned Portillo's and made it wildly successful for years because of the food quality and service. It was really excellent no matter which Portillo's I went to.
Two years ago he sold it for tens of millions of dollars. Almost instantly the food quality and quantity suffered. Beef sammiches were half full of beef than they were previously and the bread for them changed. People noticed and stopped going. Now anytime I go by a Portillo's it's about half the crowd size it used to be. The line for the drive through at the one near me used to wrap around a very large parking lot from lunch time through dinner. Now? Not so much.
Point is, when brands get sold off they suffer in quality usually because they lose their mission. Drudge is as good of an example as my Portillo's story above.
My home page used to be set to Drudge. That changed around five years ago. My home page has been FR since.
It’s best to know your enemy to see what they do.

I found a link to F.R. on Rush Limbaugh on July 22, 2003.
Thanks again Rush.
Its not even the normal selling out. If he had sold to GENERICNEWS.com or even sold to CNN openly and said yeah guys I’m getting tired of this business so I want to settle down. Thats the usual type of selling out. This cloak and dagger operation where he appears to cooperate with an albeit laughable attempt to trick people is on another level of shady.
Found FR through links on Drudge. Really think that someone forcibly shut him up through blackmail. He did posit himself against the Clintons, after all. Was it the death of Andrew Breitbart?
Drudge was formerly a self-declared Libertarian before he turned to evil. It can’t just be Matt’s rumored new-probably left-leaning-boyfriend, can it? Come back, Matt!
I can’t remember HOW I found FR; but it didn’t take me long to agree with most of the folks here!
