Drudge Report’s ‘Black Lives Kill’ Headline Angers Conservative Readers
News About ^ | July 11, 2016 | Brian Flood

Conservative news aggregator Matt Drudge upset some prominent members of his fan base last week when his website featured a “Black Lives Kill” headline following the attack on police officers in Dallas.

The attack left five police officers killed and (Business Insider‘s) Oliver Darcy called Drudge’s word a “race-baiting headline,” while calling Drudge a “once reliable ally who has become more and more divisive” to conservatives.

“I just deleted my Drudge app,” National Review writer David French declared on Twitter after seeing the controversial headline.

It's all semantics depending on who you read or talk to.

I deleted my NR subscription about a year after WFB passed away.

Aw, poor David French. First, he won’t be president. Now, he had to “delete an app.” I just think of the Drudge Report as a website, not an app, but whatever.

Yep. NR jumped the shark when WFB was no longer active in running it.

National Review would serve cookies to ISIS at the door, since it is the politically correct thing to do now days.
After all, the Obama administration said so.

BLM has rejected that moniker and the argument that “ALL LIVES MATTER”. The DRUDGE headline simply forces blacks to do some critical thinking that no one else is willing to do.

DRUDGE has free speech rights too, ya’ know.

Since when is giving as good as you get in a war of words, off limits??? The other side lives by no code and we are suppose to shackle our side to political correctness?

That’s no way to state your case and sure isn’t the way to win a war.

Big deal - David French boycotts Drudge.

And if Drudge decided to boycott linking to National Review content, would NR say "big deal" to that?

Sounds to me like he’s pissing off “conservative” pundits far more than he is conservative readers...

These are not conservatives. They are liars and an embarrassment to themselves and their publications.

They can be counted on to do the backstabbing for the Democrats.

David French almost ran for president as a Hillary Clinton surrogate.
