I think this info is wrong.
Drudge still owns Drudge Report. He hired a new advertising firm to get ads. The firm is owned by a woman whose husband is a google executive. He has no part in her business.
The rumors that google owns drudge is inaccurate.
Please post any news item to the contrary.
Sorry lots of ads
