Re: Article Link

Drudge Report posts its page view numbers at the bottom of the right hand column.

Thanks! Good to know!

I just wanted the Gateway Pundit link, which was provided in a later post ;)

The Liberty Daily and Citizen Free Press are both good.
There is also Gab Trends

You are welcome.

I quit Drudge about a month ago.

In my opinion, losing Drudge is a political catastrophe for Conservatives.

I agree that Drudge was not a Conservative, but for 20 years Drudge forced the Political Left to play defense almost every day.

Nationally, Conservatives have no way to replace him.

In my opinion, Drudge was the greatest headline writer of his generation.

Seriously, Matt Drudge has lost it 100%. He is insane and I mean insane. He needs both medical and mental assistance & treatment. I stopped using his site for information a long time ago!!!

[CivilWarBrewing]

Did extraterrestrials replace Drudge with a lookalike who HATES America?

Matt Drudge was a frequent guest of radio legend George Putnam KIEV Los Angeles. Thanks to Drudge, I discovered Free Republic where I lurked for many years during the unmoderated early days of the forum. Great fun and lots of viewpoints tolerated here. Back then Matt was having a blast with his successful startup operation. He was Republican mostly, maybe pro-choice, don't remember. Obviously his adept touch is missing on his site these days. He knew how to tease a headline, word it just right, build suspense, keep us checking in all day. He had his own byline that was worth the read as he broke news stories. He was the alt-right news before there was such a thing.
I never disparage him because he contributed greatly to my ability to stay on top of news that counts, columnists that count, newspapers, weather, too. All there in the smartest front page layout ever invented: the three column spread.
If he's gone off to play, I begrudge him nothing! But I rarely go to DrudgeReport now. Who needs the aggravation!?

I prefeer whatfinger.com. Drudge sold the site long ago. It’s a shame that he allowed them to keep his name.

"...Loses One-Fifth of Audience, 200,000,000 Page Views!"

Hooray! Now, with some numbers like these, I don't feel so alone... It's been four years since I permanently deleted Drudge... According to reports from my computers, it was sort of like having an enema...

[contrarian]

I removed Drudge from my bookmarks at least 5 years ago. No comfort to the enemy..

[SpaceBar]

I don’t think he owns it or controls the content any more.

That's my understanding as well. It's like blaming Frank over Frank's HotDogs est. 1897. It's Drudge in name only. That said, the drudgereport never really was a great website truth be told. Stale content and in recent years more salacious.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

The Drudge has become the movie “The Grudge, III”. Why> How the hell should I know. Drudge is a weirdo.

[stockpirate]

Drudge jumped the shark over two years ago. I haven’t visited that sight for at least two years.

[familyop]

"Sooner or later the spiritual conflict of being a chode smoker catches up,..."

I looked up that word at the Urban Dictionary site and am sorry for doing so. Almost as disgusting as looking at the Drudge site.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Fox is getting just as bad. They ginned up another phony poll this weekend that has half the country wanting Trump impeached and removed from office.

[I want the USA back]

It’s nothing more than a lot of links to sites that actually carry the news. For this he gets fame and fortune?

[JudgemAll]

Looks like libs could not take down Drudge with the Drudge Retort, so they coopted it in a coocoo bird like move.

Or was it a psy op from the beginning to attract sheeps and make money...

[Baldwin77]

I read somewhere that he sold his site a few years ago to liberals. Does anyone know if that is true?

[GCFADG]

He lost me after 20 some-odd years. I finally won't give him the clicks anymore. Sad. Used to be a fun site.

None of the "alternatives" have the old Drudge knack for basic tabloid fun (it shouldn't be all about politics). Oh well. Was fun while it lasted.

[Bull Man]

Whose Drudge? /sarcasm
