Rush made an offhand comment about Drudge, to the effect “that is a click-based business”, which I took to mean that Drudge was just putting up whatever would generate the most click revenue, essentially not caring about anything else.

Thanks so much for the link to Citizens Free Press, because I agree with you, I can’t stand all of the annoying ads at The Liberty Daily.

The Drudge Report has become too anti-Trump for me.

WOW..that is a neat site!!
////////////////////////////////

We will find out just how neat tomorrow at noon. One of their stories says that at noon tomorrow sex assault charges will be announced against Mueller. Hope it’s accurate but I wouldn’t bet the farm on it.

I also agree that Drudge has become almost unreadable and quite possibly a tool of the left.

Or do you even know about positive Trump news, because you only watch Drudge?

I think i get a pretty good variety of news throughout the day.

I start with Fox and Drudge in the morning(I like his links to foreign newspapers and conservative columnists) and after reading the news I head to Free Republic to chat with fellow Freepers about the news so far.

Then at noon I switch gears and monitor the enemy channels, CNN, MSNBC etc.which is pretty short as I need to get back to work and I don't want to lose my appetite.

After work I hit the Sports links and listen to 'The Five' for their take of the day.

Then after supper I usually have it on Fox(or football) til I go to bed. I go FR to chat again as I get sleepy but I'm prone to insomnia.

As far as Drudge changing headlines, he usually leaves the top headline on, relative to its importance or something more "sensational" comes along.

I don't care much for his sex links, usually weird or homosexuel which I don't click on(I heard he's a homo)

So I tried to gather my news from a lot of source(INHO)

Guess this is an "eye of the beholder" thing

YMMV

I>It’s been a long time since he slip-slided away. Haven’t been to that site for months now. I much prefer Breitbart and Free Republic.

It's been more than a yr for me. I substituted for (LibertyDaily.com). Same format but with conservative views.

I like the Citizen Free Press option of pasting comments on stories. ‘Never Trumper’, Drudge is about to be history.

Drudge is fine, why worry about something you can’t control? I’m certainly not going to stop looking at his webpage because some FReepers have palpitations when they don’t hear echo chamber 24/7.

I found FR after hearing about it on KSFO, the main conservative talk radio outlet in SF at the turn of the century.

“Since about 1998 have checked Drudge at least once a day but just the other day I had enough and deleted his bookmarks.”

Likewise, a couple of weeks ago. Gave up hope.

Glad to help spread the word about Citizen.

The guy who runs it, Kane, worked for Lou Dobbs at CNN Moneyline and then Fox Business. He is really good with news aggregation.

As far as Liberty Daily, I think the headlines are over the top sometimes and as mentioned, the ADS are pretty much unbearable, at least for me.

Citizen Free Press rocks almost as much as Free Republic.

I disagree.

Drudge links to news created by others. He rarely produces any of his own. Most of the news media has a blind hatred of Trump. So most of the stories Drudge runs will be anti-Trump.

The problem with Drudge is not what he posts and links to. The real problem is what he does not post and link to.

To me Drudge is dead.

The LGBTQ people are pissed because Trump dissed the trannies. Drudge is Gay.

Frankly I agree with President Trump on this issue. A person is born one of two sexes unless they have that rare hermaphrodite thing going on; then they are usually whatever sex organs they have on the outside.

Having said that; I truly believe the real mismatched mind and body people have a real struggle in life. It isn’t one a mutilating surgery will fix either.

Stopped reading Drudge over a year ago. Total waste of time. Might as well be watching CNN, which I never do.

Drudge is a news aggregator. Anytime you want just go to the wires you want and to the authors you like. The difference is Drudge used to pick what interested him. Now, I have a feeling he hired someone to pick stories. Drudge is still a mover/shaker due to Rush and many more staying there all day waiting for the updates. It's news now because Drudge says it's news. Some of the stories don't hit a conservative as all that important.

At least it's better than CNNMSNBCCBSABCNBC.I've looked at alternatives, but I don't trust them like Drudge. You have to look several places to see what is news and what is propaganda. There is just as much fake news on the right as on the left. Some of these right wing rags have fake stories and don't care if they get caught. I like FR because various people all over the US cull out stories, even local stories, that a conservative would be interested in.

I used to start every day with Drudge.

He was brilliant in his defense of the GOP and Conservatives.

I think one of the reasons the MSM has been so emboldened in the last year is because Drudge has to moved to the center, and he frequently links to the worst kind of Leftist propaganda.

He will be missed by the political Right.

He won’t miss me - I visited his website for more than 15 years, and I never clicked on one ad!
