I have been looking for an aggegator substitute for Drudge since I dropped him.
Yeah, it’s pretty clear the pod people got to him, Ann, and several others we used to count on as thought leaders.
What may have happened to Drudge is that he went from the ‘Manifesto’ guy railing against the MSM to being one of the MSM. He has been consistently outdrawing MSM competitors for a good long while now.
He won’t get my clicks anymore. I can’t get my head around GOP-E support of Romney. They are carrying the water for Romney like Rush admitted doing for the Republicans some years back. Rush actually got on the air and was relieved that he no longer felt obligated to do it.
FR is linked to Drudge and Drudge is linked to FR.
Give Patriot Post a try. It took me a few days to get used to the format, but it’s much more news-oriented. Less entertainment and garbage, more pure news.
I’ve stopped going to Drudge’s site for some time now. Others just need to do the same.
Drudge is an A-Hoe , I merely tolerate his blog to catch obscure news
In the days before telegraphy, and for years afterward, when every town of 5000 had two or three newspapers, people knew this. The automatic caution shown people like H.V. Kaltenborn and other radio news readers and presenters shows the healthy cynicism lasted through the beginnings of the Television age, at least through the rapid decline in literacy on the domestic front between World War II and the Korean War years.
Anyone who utilized Drudge beginning in 1996 has to know Matt's never been a Conservative.
>>Most people on the street don’t even know who Matt Drudge is, I bet.<<
Plenty do.
That’s the problem.
I remember thinking I sure hope he and Breitbart never had anything going. (I am ashamed to type anything negative about Andrew, but that was my thought at the time.) Maybe, Drudge just was in love with Andrew. Breitbart served the conservative cause well. Drudge, at one time, did the same. Drudge is useless now.
Thank you. Finally, a voice who agrees with me. Sometimes, the political correctness at FR is appalling.
Between Bill O’Reilly’s constant big hands waving and constantly interupting who he is interviewing, I could no longer stand him.
The waving hands drives me nuts. (I know...I’m being petty).
Obama was elected to loot the US Treasury...and the loot was spread far, wide and deep into every nook and cranny of the country, up and down both sides of the aisle, throughout the legislative and judicial branches in the Federal,and many states.

I am really afraid the only way to recover all the massive stolen loot would be just to zero out the dollar and make a new dollar. Almost like a Biblical year of jubilee.
I hate that so many crooked, filthy dirt bags have screwed with our economy and country and are now living high on the hog with ours and our children’s future.
“The statement that Drudge had on his page the day of Andrew’s death was strangely homosexual sounding. I read it and said, WTH?”
You weren’t the only one.
Thanks for the link!
We’ve never been a Drudge Report attendee. Other than a handful of occasions following a story that was linked to Drudge’s site, we’ve never desired to go there. Everything we need is right here at FR. Even before FR when we were L-dotters we were’nt into the Drudge Report.
Just how is being critical of Drudge politically correct? I don’t like Drudge, won’t go to his site and, I can assure you, I’m not “politically correct”. If you like it that’s fine but other people may have a different opinion. That doesn’t make them appalling.
Thank you for sharing the link.
I don’t know if it’s right-sided political correctness, or just ignorance.
But it is discouraging.
