Vanity.... Who are the principals (individuals) associated with WhatFinger News.
It is an alternative to Drudge.
I cannot find any names or internet links.
(Excerpt) Read more at freerepublic.com ...
Is it legit?
I’ve been reading The Liberty Daily. I thought that was our new go-to Drudge site.
You are welcome.
I check whatfinger too. So far has not shown any leftist tendencies and I have checked them daily for about 6 or 7 months. They dont editorialize their article tittles whereas the liberty does, but I do love some of their headlines.
Is the site a stealth site feeding data to Bezos or Schmidt?
I seriously doubt it. Their tech is pretty basic. Notice the page load speeds. Slow and klunky. Like the site, but they are slow.

Appears to be a good site - alternative to Drudge. Warning if easily offended do avoid this space.
I often listen to Mark Dice, who seems to be spot on and a full-fledged mocker of all things leftist. He seems to be one of the founders.

might do deeper snooping later if I have time
Bkmrk.
probably a better way to chase this stuff.
I used “whois” https://www.whois.com
and entered the whatfinger url.

Liberty Daily is damned good!
I see Drudge has been replaced.
Ya snooze, ya lose!
Looks as sparse as FR once was.
Thats a plus.
I am always a little leery of “no info” sites.
Seems like the creators should be proud enough of the product and business plan to step up to the plate.

It is probably trash.
Equivalent of an “anonymous source”.
Kind of like Funpants and his Conservative Tree Fort.
Anonymous and therefor trash.
Someone is going to a great deal of work to post the site and update it.
Surely, there is a reader that has a clue about the site and the folks backing the venture.
Looking for information about WhatFinger.com.
The email is WhatFingerEditor@gmail.com
El Chapo went to a lot of trouble building a criminal empire.
Doesn’t make him credible.
It’s a freaking blog written by anonymous persons.
That doesn’t really scream “legitimate”.
It is not a “blog” but it aggregates news from a variety of sources.
Have you clicked around the site?
I’m not clicking on anything called “Whatfinger”.
