Drudge hits ‘mute’ on Biden
Politico ^ | January 7, 2022 | Max Tani

Posted on 01/08/2022 8:46:20 PM PST by Trump20162020

The Drudge Report made its name by making life hell for Democrats in the White House.

But over the past several months, the website, named after its infamous and enigmatic founder MATT DRUDGE, has continued the surprising trend that emerged during the 2020 presidential campaign: Taking a relatively muted editorial stance on JOE BIDEN.

Readers who visited Drudge on the morning of Dec. 10, found a patriotic graphic of Biden splashed against an American flag leading the site. Headlines on that day touted the “lowest jobless claims in 50 years,” “Biden delivering fastest recovery in history?” and quotes from CNBC host JIM CRAMER saying the economy was the “strongest I’ve ever seen.” On Dec. 21, the site linked to a report about former President DONALD TRUMP’s relationship with convicted sex offender JEFFREY EPSTEIN while promoting a story about Biden’s new dog and the record-setting pace at which Biden was confirming judicial appointees.

” infamous and enigmatic founder MATT DRUDGE”

Nothing of the sort about the fαggot, his weird cycles of hate/like are symptomatic of his SSAD disorder and very well known.

There is/was a good reason why that mentally ill group was precluded from having security clearances for many decades.

Very unbalanced neurotics.

I can’t even remember how many years it has been since I last visited that worthless site.

I can see it now. I was addicted to The Drudge Report for many years. It still surprises me that was able to walk away from it, but the overall experience of going there was always something negative. It was like visiting a restaurant under new management, and now all the entres are either bland or foul. Why keep going to that restaurant?

That was when I knew it was time for me to start ‘seeing other websites’. Now, I don’t even have the urge to visit. Maybe someday, I’ll start hearing rumors of change, that ‘logic’ as I see it, has returned to Drudge, but not for now.

This is just another propaganda piece as conservatives left that site years ago. Long before 2020.

I looked at it ALL the time, but not in quite a few years. I never cared for the format. I prefer the format of articles presented here, where you have longer headlines and each has the full article or a substantial excerpt. That, plus Drudge is a freak.

I prefer this FR format and the Drudge format. A reader can quickly scan the titles and make their choice before clicking.
I have never liked or gotten used to the REDDIT type of formatting, which looks messy, jammed together and random, with few focal points to guide a reader stuck in that Font Soup. Many other folks have no problem with the REDDIT style.

I wasn’t even aware that Drudge had fallen so low as to pimping for Joe Biden, putting up “patriotic photos” of him, and touting bullshit stats to make him look good.

Are all the NeverTrumpers hardcore bootlickers of Joe Biden?

When it comes to actual material created by Drudge wasn’t his last significant story about a stained blue dress?

Polutico is just noticing this now? Typical of the level of mediocrity that is
their journalistic standard. Drudge started going south in the later days of
Obozo. That being said, it was my first stop in the AM 20 years and it was
on the Drudge Report that I found Free Republic in the late 90's.

Drudge got bought a few years ago.

It’s nothing more than a bad version of People magazine.

Yah, it went the way of Slashdot. Karen’s and anti-1st amendment in every way possible.

Didn’t look back.

Yes and nothing since then of any value or truth.
