Drudge has become unreadable for conservatives

Posted on 10/09/2019 3:12:55 AM PDT by BuckeyeGOP

I know some here are sick of Drudge posts...but I feel it's worth bringing up for no other reason than the amazing slide into the liberal abyss that Drudge has experienced.

Drudge use to be the first news site I clicked on in the morning. About 2 months ago I removed the link from my phone. This morning I hesitantly checked back and he has gone full-blown yahoo news...if not even worse. Unflattering pics of Trump, red-lettered headlines describing an unhinged administration, polls with hostile results to Trump....are just some of the takeaway's.

So the question is why has Drudge turned inside out the formula that brought him to the top? No business does that and I think it's a fascinating, albeit sad, question.

Thank God for FR.

Simple, he got a lefty boyfriend.
Yes, he’s a poofter.

Some will say, he’s going for clicks, but that’s not what he’s reaching for.

I believe Drudge is no longer owner, therefore no longer in control of the content. I rarely check that page any more.

I wonder how much daily input Drudge even has anymore. He probably has a significant number of staff who do the daily work, and many of these may be left leaning. I’m not defending him, at all, and ultimately he has the final say, but I would not be surprised if staffers have contributed significantly to the drift the left.

A similar change happened with NECN (New England Cable News). It was straight news, with low budget production, until maybe five years ago when their format suddenly changed to NECN being just another Democrat Party mouthpiece but now, with big budget production. It looks like NECN was bought off. I hope it wasn’t ARRA money...

Anyhow, since I’ve cut the cable, NECN isn’t being subsidized or patronized by me.

Good possibility he got shares in granite cubed.

Probably trying to parlay using his well known brand as catalyst.

You take a big risk when you buy into a brand and then drastically change it.

Otto is going to find that out with Drudge.

Drudge sold the rights to his site (and his fathers site RefDesk) to Google some time ago.

There was an article with the details. It was done via the advertising platform on the site in a manner to limit exposure.

It’s not a mystery. Drudge is no longer drudge.

Either stop reading the damn thing or STOP COMPLAINING.

His top headline this morning is: “Constitutional Collision Rocks Nation”. It links to an article the actual headline of which is mundane, not rocking anything. Drudge is a pure hype machine. He (they) is reading his own press clippings and think they gin up a major news event by hyperventilating about it. He should work for the Weather Channel.

Most of the gays really hate Trump.

If Drudge is unreadable for conservatives, so is most of the news. Drudge is a news aggregator. He collects and promotes the major stories of the day. If the major headlines are screaming for impeachment, then that is what Drudge will run. He is the messenger, not the message.

The overwhelming majority of the news media has been running a war time level propaganda campaign against President since the day he announced his candidacy. I say that believing it is true and not a exaggeration. The solution is to figure out the truth on your own, and ignore the liars.
