About all he does is link to other articles, many of which I find of interest.

SOMETHING happened to Drudge. I’m done with him. Hard to imagine blackmail could so fundamentally change a news agrigator but it has veered left that is not debatable.

Zero Hedge. Edgy conservative news site with emphasis on financial stuff.

I still go to Drudge several times a day.

For decades now, every few months some FReepers post vanities about Drudge not reporting the news like they think it should be reported, but Drudge keeps rolling on.

And this: “Drudge is confused and flamboyant and has demons, but he is our confused and flamboyant that has demons.”

Drudge has gotten lazy. Almost certainly he just has a staffer doing the work these days.

You can’t tolerate a link aggregation site? You realize he doesn’t produce any content... right?

No, but you can sway opinion by the content you choose to feature.
And Drudge does tries to do that these days... for the wrong side.

Liberty Daily always selects the BEST pics to accompany their stories...another great site is Whatfinger. I have never had any use for Drudge.

Somewhere along the way he lost his conservative compass.

His compass now points only to money.

Drudge probably noticed how many followers many of the “conservative” Never Trumpers on twitter have. He’s going after that same market for clicks, IMO.

The sad thing is that it was Drudge who introduced me to FR almost 20 years ago.

Drudge was a heavy hitter in the old days.

I deleted Drudge from my favorites yesterday in favor of Liberty Daily.

Drudge chooses which MSM outlet to feature for each headline, and which to ignore.

He’s just a shill, and a gatekeeper. He decides what gets seen, and what remains concealed.
