I read a while ago that Drudge sold the Drudge report website and is no longer controlling it.
That would explain the changes.
I still remember when HotAir was good...then Malkin sold it. Went downhill fast.
This is exactly what I think. What tipped me off was that for years, Drudge’s new headline would change, usually between 6-7 AM eastern time. For the last couple years, the headline and top stories are not updated until 8-9 AM eastern time... Drudge isn’t running the show anymore.
