The Drudge Report slammed Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore as "Judge Whore" in an all-caps lead headline Wednesday, putting more pressure on the former judge amid allegations of sexual harassment and assault. The influential online aggregation news site linked in the headline to a Daily Beast story about Breitbart News chief Stephen Bannon, who remains one of Moore's most prominent backers amid mounting Republican criticism.

Conservative media icon Matt Drudge laced into the Washington Post Monday morning for its preposterous piece suggesting he’s a Russian operative for linking to Russia Today, Sputnik and U.S.-based InfoWars. Newsflash WaPo…Drudge sends you TONS OF TRAFFIC! And the Drudge included a friendly reminder this morning: Drudge reminded his over 500k Twitter followers that Drudge Report gives Washington Post a staggering 37% of its referral traffic.

By July 2016, according to the analysis site SimilarWeb, Matt Drudge’s link-aggregation site Drudge Report was the second-most-visited on the Internet in the United States. Over the course of the month — the month of the Republican and Democratic presidential conventions and the month of the leak of emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee — SimilarWeb estimates that Drudge had 1,472,220,000 page views. That’s 1.4 billion, the equivalent of 47 views of the Drudge Report every second of every minute that month. Being the second-most-visited site, incidentally, means that Drudge had more page views than Yahoo, Disney (including ABC...

Matt Drudge, founder of the highly influential Drudge Report said on Thursday that Jeff Zucker is out at CNN due to abysmal ratings and personal feud with President Trump.

I gave up on Drudge some time ago (after almost twenty years as my go-to news feed) and have been looking for alternatives. Two that seem to be pretty good are Whatfinger and The Liberty Daily. The first is a pretty conventional newsfeed but Liberty Daily is Drudge for normals.

Political content on the internet, paid or not, should face substantial federal regulation to eliminate undefined "disinformation," and users of platforms and news feeds, from Facebook, to Twitter, to the Drudge Report and even New York Times, could be punished for sharing "fake news" from those sites, the former Democratic chair of the FEC is urging.In a broad proposal that adds threatening libel suits to regulatory plans already pushed by Democrats on the Federal Election Commission, ex-chair Ann Ravel believes that there is support for expanded regulation in the wake of reports foreign governments spent $100,000 on 2016 political ads...

Obama’s statement came amid a furious effort by Russian propaganda outlets to foster confusion about the act. In their telling, the tragedy had actually...

The judge overseeing the bribery trial of Sen. Robert Menendez ripped into prosecutors Thursday for trying to focus on what he called “tabloid’’ details — an unusual description for dry testimony about a series of emails about a hotel reservation. U.S. District Judge William Walls stopped testimony for 20 minutes in which he tongue-lashed prosecutors for their painstaking recounting of emails used to book a luxury hotel in Paris for the New Jersey Democrat in 2010. The three-day hotel stay is a central part of the Justice Department’s case.

What is going on with Drudge ??

I not sure when i noticed, but Drudge has sure changed fairly recently. Does anyone know if they changed key people on the site? Also if anyone has suggestions for an alternate site, I would be very appreciative!

Matt Drudge (Drudge Report) knows from A-Z that Virginia, Democrat, Governot, Terry McAuiliffe, the Mayor of Charlottesville and the Assistant Racist Mayor of Charlottesville were 100% guilty of conceiving & executing the "out of-hand", unrest, the riots, the murder(s), the loss of life, the injuries and the mayhem caused by allowing the "Hate" of left & right, riots to go forward, unfettered or controlled by the Virginia National Guard, The Virginia State Police and the local police of Charlottesville, Virginia. The details of their direct guilt have been duly noted and validated, in multiple right wing, left wing and independent,...

Imran Awan, a former IT aide for Democratic Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, was indicted Thursday on four counts including bank fraud and making false statements.

In this world we may have knowledge or repose but we may not have both. The human condition is a series of decisions; we either deal with them or circumstances deal with us. Once a bell is rung in our presence we cannot un-ring it. All of these apply to our relationship to the Drudge Report. For years we have looked to Matt Drudge and his Drudge Report as a place where we could get some actual news. During the presidential election cycle last year this was especially true. While the foaming-at-the-mouth liars in the media churned out their disinformation...

"All I know is he has been getting worse and worse, and that headline last night was actually WORSE than anything CNN or MSNBC posted."

For the last few days, I've noticed Matt Drudge's Drudge Report website has stopped printing photos in full color, opting instead for a cool, steely grey tone. Tonight he uses a sepia or reddish brown tone in one photo. The photos have a classic look, as if one took an image from a famous or infamous moment, and created a Lithograph from it. A tedious messy medium, those lithographs. The old Wall Street Journal used a Hedcut printing method for their half column illustrations. Hedcuts use the stipple method of many small dots and the crosshatching method to produce a...

It’s been a little over 200 days since Donald Trump was sworn in as president. The president has been under a constant media assault since he first stepped into the Oval Office. The media attacks have been constant, brutal and often fictitious. But it now looks like he has lost Matt Drudge. The Drudge Report headline on Saturday reads: “Make America Hate Again”. Obviously, Drudge is pushing responsibility for Saturday’s race riots and deadly assault on President Trump. It took six months for President Trump to lose his most influential supporter. This is a very sad development.

This is Drudge's headline today.Really???!?Shame on you, Matt.

On Oct. 11, 2015, @DRUDGE went dark. Gone was the profile picture (dark sunglasses, cowboy hat), expelled was the playful header image of two parrots preening. All that remained was a black square and a black header and the capital letters that bellowed his name: MATT DRUDGE. Just days earlier, the reclusive and powerful founder of the Drudge Report had appeared on Alex Jones' InfoWars program, although "appeared" might be too generous. Despite Jones' pleading, Drudge refused to actually come on camera for the interview. Eventually, Jones' team convinced Drudge to speak into a microphone just out of the frame,...
