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 day after day we at least had Drudge as a kind of Radio Free America. He posted surveys which showed that Donald Trump was clearly on his way to the Republican nomination and his fairly presented news kept alive the hope that Trump could and would win the election, saving us from another Clinton presidency.
Nevertheless, like a doctor who continually works in wards full of people with various illnesses and finally succumbs to one of these severe maladies, sometime earlier this year Drudge fell ill with hubris and began to believe that it was he who elected Trump rather than us. He began acting like he could punish Trump for any number of transgressions his whimsical little mind imagined. He published the results of polls proved to be faked by irrefutable, Wiki-Leaked emails. That was no problem for Drudge. He just made believe the stories he carried (often alone) where not true and the faked polls were honest reflections of dwindling support for Trump. It was a creeping change that was hard to discern at first.
Then came Trump’s ban of so-called transgender soldiers and Drudge’s gloves came off completely. He is now just as much an enemy of ours as CNN. Some say this is because Matt Drudge is a homosexual, others say it is a manifestation of the disease of liberalism Drudge has come down with. Personally I don’t care why Drudge has turned on us and I do mean us. I just want him off my favorites list because Donald Trump is the only person standing in the way of the total destruction of our way of life.
It is now time to turn on Drudge and put him down. As happens when any enterprise is successful, imitators will appear and a very good and satisfying alternative to the anti-American Drudge Report has arisen. It is http://thelibertydaily.com where honest descriptions of our enemies abound and truth reigns.
Why add to Drudge’s questionable hits numbers and be insulted and mocked by his slanted headlines?
Search twitter to get the most up to date information from patriots like Bill Mitchell, Mike Cernovich, James Woods (yes THAT James Woods) U.S. Freedom Army and Mike Andersonsr Jim Hoft (Gateway pundit).

By the way what have you done lately to deserve to live in America?
But too many people, many on FR included, want to dump news sources that don't agree with them 100%.
What they really want is a news source that doesn't report the news but, instead, reports and agrees with their own viewpoint.
News is impartial. It affects both sides of the political aisle and across a broad spectrum of society and culture. News is not just a partial viewpoint. It is what it is. News. Which was defined in journalism class when I was at university, as those events that are controversial or reveal conflict in the world. That's what people want to hear about.
All I hear sometimes when something doesn't go their way , is boycott, boycott. What's going to happen when you run out of sources or establishments to boycott because eventually they ALL do or say things from time-to-time that don't agree with you personally?
Change the channel or change the sites you go to, but understand, that is not going to solve the problem in the long run. People differ on many issues and will continue to do so. Being informed about all viewpoints in what's important. Not just having your own worldview reinforced at the expense of actual events.
Drudge does a great job as far as I am concerned.
Thanks for the list.

Spare us, please.
I haven’t been to Drudge’s site in at least 10 years. Don’t have to. As soon as he posts something there, people race to post it here.
Liberty Daily
You have your opinion. I have mine.... so pound sand.
Drudge is now useless.
Sundance can be enlightening but more often than not he publishes his interpretations of things, which can be either quite obvious or pretty far out there. More importantly, anyone who questions or disagrees with his analysis is either put on moderation (censored) or banned.
Plus the people that read and post at CTH are pretty cult-like in their hero worship.
Being informed about all viewpoints in what’s important.

Naw........ Just hang with you personalized views/ideas and the rest of the world be damned.
It’s amazing the differing ideas, concepts, etc ever got shared as the world civilizations
grew and expanded.
Take care.
I quit drudge a few months ago. I haven’t missed the site.

I find the constant “refreshing” on Drudge to be especially annoying.
I too have been ‘seeing other people’ here and there.
Far more than I used to.
It’s always risky getting most your news from any one particular site. I have felt this way moreso since last summer, when Roger Ailes was removed from Fox News.
After that happened, it was a different Fox, more diluted, and with lots of Kool-Aid added all of a sudden.
What was that Psalm that reminded us;
“To everything there is a season”.
Ping. Great post. I have deleted drudge as well.
JoMa
I heard about it here, and it’s quite good. Also go to Drudge.
Also getting fed up with all the news.
The constant refreshing on Drudge is stupid, too. He doesn’t update the site every minute or two. If he dialed the refreshing back to once every five minutes, it would still be too often.
Fortunately I haven’t had to be concerned about it lately. I go to The_Donald, Truthfeed, and Liberty Daily.
I agree with that....but I do read him everyday and frequently like the comments as well as the article.
During the campaign he was great moral support - he didn’t want any cowards in the foxhole. Thought this was a nice positive approach when so many were quivering in their boots.
You are not alone. It's strange how an idea looks different in print and the more you tweak it the worse it gets.
Drudge is only useless to those who are close-minded and don't want to see the world around them. Just their own little cozy view of the world from their safe space.
So go pound the frickin' sand yourself pal.
First Sean Hannity.
Then Ann Coulter.
Next was Rush.
Finally the Freepers are at Matt Drudges throat.
I thought they were NEVER get there. What took so long?
