Gawker pays their writers based on the number of clicks the writer gets on his story. So it was a political decision.

But Drudge made a political decision when he turned over control of his website to Matt Rhoades and other Romney operatives.

Drudge has lost almost 750,000 monthly readers to date since his Bloody Thursday hit on Newt, so his anti-Newt and anti-Rick actions in support of Romney have had substantial consequences to his website's traffic.

Is there another site one can go to equally as good of format, etc. besides Drudge? Ever since he went heavenly against Newt and totally in the bag for Romney I’ve rarely gone back to his site. Where to go? Suggestions Please!

Drudge lost me on Bloody Thursday also. Have looked at the site 1 time since then. No more.
