For the last few days, I've noticed Matt Drudge's Drudge Report website has stopped printing photos in full color, opting instead for a cool, steely grey tone. Tonight he uses a sepia or reddish brown tone in one photo. The photos have a classic look, as if one took an image from a famous or infamous moment, and created a Lithograph from it. A tedious messy medium, those lithographs.
The old Wall Street Journal used a Hedcut printing method for their half column illustrations. Hedcuts use the stipple method of many small dots and the crosshatching method to produce a look that resembles woodcuts from old style newspapers, or engravings on certificates and currency. The style was created by a Kevin Sprouls in 1979. I haven't purchased a Wall St. Journal in years, so I don't know if they still use this style or not.
My question is, how long do you think it will be before Matt begins printing in full color again? For most people, this question brings up the image of that fellow on the cartoon Family Guy, with him saying "Who The Hell Cares?", but for those of us who may have worked in printing, commercial art, or graphic arts at one time, or took courses on such topics, it may cross the mind. I, for one don't expect this to last any longer than the next top tier Celebrity death, or outbreak of an actual hot war with Kim Jong Un.
Till he uses up his backstock of Verichrome Pan?
OH noes... You sight one leak that other sites were head lining.
Do you understand what an aggregator does?
He has bannered plenty of pro Trump that others bury
No one covered the WVa rally like Drudge or the jobs news or the immigration deportation efforts or opening up the coal industry again.....etc etc
Yeah, it’s getting out of control, and we’re behind the curve in donations. Management needs to step in.
His headline now is “Make America Hate Again”.
Which is exactly what is being said about the yobs who decided to act like animals tonight.
Some people abuse their first admen dent rights.
That ain’t against Trump
And for a noob you are clueless
You’re dumb. Everyone in the thread agrees with me. The left has said “make America hate again” to mock Trump.
I am not dumb
I don’t care if everyone agrees with you.
The fact that Drudge uses things in non standard ways has been true for years.... And since when is Drudge “the left”?
We were talking about Drudge saying what the media is saying a couple of days ago about Trump. His headline tonight proves it.
Lordy you don’t understand what an aggregator is or does
Moreover Drudge’s headline says chaos erupted....not that trump caused it.
Plus drudge includes trumps condemnation of it which the lame stream didn’t
You and Alex.....want to call it a false flag?
Drudge doesn’t have to follow your rules
Drudge used the left’s mocking of Trump’s campaign slogan when Trump was being blamed for the violence in Virginia .
And Drudge has always done things like that. He has done it to OWS and BLM and SJW He included stories that reported the violent clashes with antics thugs and how the police didn’t respond
Drudge is an aggregator. Read the friggin details. Efote jumping to conclusions
He is a Trump supporter, he wasn’t an OWS supporter.
Precisely. Drudge has always used clever headlines to mock the other side
It’s not clever. You’re clueless. He was joining the media. The people in the thread agree with me.
Claiming you are correct because people on a thread agree with you is feckless
You claim things to be true based on nothing
What is untrue? Drudge is a Trump supporter, and he used the left’s mocking of Trump’s campaign slogan.
Which was my original point
Lots of folks seem to think that Drudge has gone left
I have said no. I point to his clever use (as he has through out the years) of the other sides slogans and mottoes to tamp them down and humiliate them.
Couldn’t care less. It is Drudge, the Sludge.
He hasn’t used the other side’s slogans to mock someone on the right idiot.
He isn’t mocking some one on the right. His headline had a secondary headline that seems to have eluded people
He was mocking the left
