Speculation about what happened to DrudgeReport and Matt Drudge. The lights are on, but nobody's there?
Read the article last night. Found it very interesting and a good read. Too bad he didn’t either give this to somebody who cared, or simply shut it down directly. My opinion it undermines his well-earned reputation to let it falter like this.
Sounds naughty
“Liberal” is NOT a “stretch”. I used to stumble onto it every now and then to see if they’ve come to their senses. They haven’t and will not I’m sure.
I stopped even looking at DR about a year ago.
Who really cares about Drudge? I sure don’t.
Today, I get to choose from many excellent voices whose sites I visit for news and it sure ain’t Drudge!
A “has been.” Go away!
Drudge sold the Drudge Report years ago.
The link points to a website with a spinning T? No article.
I used to have his site bookmarked. I would visit at least a couple of times per day. I have moved on.

Matt Drudge contracted AIDS from Chris Wallace...details at 11.
Interesting insights. I agree that Drudge is thin skinned and never that political and more in celebrities and personalities.
In one interview he said “I go where the stink is”. Thus I can see him posting anti Trump articles since so many have been dissing him What doesn’t make sense is there are few if any articles at his site dissing Biden. If Matt was doing to day to day operation he would be lamblasting those on the Left and Right if they presented an opportunity.
Therefore the obvious conclusion is he is no longer running the site.
Did we suspect he was gay with all the posts on the 80's Georges (Boy and Michael)--but did anyone care about Matt's personal life when he gave us the dirt on the Clintons?!
Matt kicked off the internet news revolution, when most of our fellow Americans were still getting spoon fed by newspapers, radio and tv. Come back, Shane Matt!
Nothing "alleged" about it.
The change is unfathomable except as a change of ownership or management. I expect that a buyer would have extracted a non-compete clause which included some form of penalty for future obstruction of the “good will” built into the business by Drudge.
It used to be my home page. I haven’t been there in years. Caveat Emptor.
Jeremiah 6: 17
"Maybe Drudge decided he was sick of it all—and perhaps this was a wise move. Right-of-center media can be a bestiary of lightning rods and public villains. Former Breitbart chief Steve Bannon is under indictment on allegations of tax fraud; Tucker Carlson is subject to a nearly full-on advertiser boycott despite having the highest-rated show on cable. Twenty-five years into his career, Drudge, by having effectively disappeared, has become an object of fascination rather than scorn."
This is abjectly untrue, Matt disappeared because he is persona non grata.
This article also provides enough direct evidence to investigate Drudge for counterfeit direct ad grifting and CCPA/GDPR violations.
Which may be exactly why DrudgeReport went full Libtard: 'You either let Mountain View control your content or you will be paying a multi-million dollar fine and maybe some prison time' and/or 'We will help your old boyfriends sue your ghey ass'.
My $ 0.02 says that he was paid off.
Don’t go away mad drudge...
I have used Drudge as my home page for over 20 years I am now looking for a conservative alternative. Does anyone have any recommendations? I have considered citizens free press but it just doesn’t have it.
