That is the first time I’ve ever seen Matt Drudge. Gee, that pic makes him look like a reporter from the 40s, maybe it’s the hat.

But, oh, I don’t even want to think about Hillary’s sex life. ugh.

He was super young and in his mom’s garage when he started, and he always wore that old fashioned hat. Just his thing.

“That is the first time I’ve ever seen Matt Drudge.”

He used to have a TV show. TPTB took him out/down when he showed a photo of an unborn baby, during the mother’s surgery, reaching out and grabbing the surgeon’s finger. Pro-abortionists didn’t want people to know that unborn babies are people, too.

“. Gee, that pic makes him look like a reporter from the 40s, maybe it’s the hat.”

It’s an homage to Walter Winchell whose career inspired Matt Drudge. Look up a picture of Walter Winchell and you’ll see the hat.

I recall Matt Drudge and broadcaster George Putnam talking about this- George was a contemporary of Walter Winchell and recognized both the style of Drudge’s reporting and the look that Matt was affecting.
