Whatfinger News: What the Drudge Report Was Meant to Be
Canada Free Press ^ | 01/17/18 | Selwyn Duke

Whatfinger is the younger, more vibrant up-and-coming contender who only needs a title shot to hoist the belt. I hope it gets it, too, because the current media status quo has conservatives heading for a knockout.

In this anti-establishment age, people are increasingly moving toward anti-establishment news sources. Many good examples exist, but as far as news aggregators go, one stands out: Whatfinger News (Whatfinger.com).

That’s right, not the Drudge Report. That titan of news-aggregator traffic loses out because of an area in which it may be without peer: providing eyeballs for left-wing websites. More on that momentarily.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I have consciously tried to avoid clicking on Drudge. I used to check him multiple times per day and had my home page set to him. No longer.

Stopped using drudge. Too many links to sites that attack my computer - stopped by anti-virus - but that doesn’t matter. No more drudge. It’s just links to other websites!

Agree. The content is fine but whoever developed that site needs to be fired.

I looked at it the other day. I drove my eyes buggy in a matter of seconds. It is not a good visual format.

I’ve been wondering what Drudge’s fixation on sex robots is all about.

That is a canned website created by something like GoDaddy hosting service. Unreadable.

That site can’t provide a secure connection according to my firewall.

The Sean-bot running an ad disguised as an article? Now all I need is one weird trick and then I won’t believe what happened next.
