It started, IMHO, as far back as five years ago. I only visited for a few days after the 2016 election to see if he’d eat any crow.

Liberty Daily and Whatfinger work nicely as does Bongino’s new aggregator.

Didn’t Drudge change his Twitter bio to saying the Drudge Report “was” run by Matt Drudge? Has he since changed that?

The Swamp and Deep State have long tentacles, tons of money, control of MSM and they are using all to take over our country and erase the Constitution.

It would make sense. I do not think Drudge changed to a (ptui-ptui) liberal, he just got tired. Why not bail and enjoy the rest of one’s life?

There are others who will hopefully have his talents and continue the fight (I’ve got three alternate sites - none of which are yet as good as Drudge was - but hopefully they’ll improve.)

In any case, the bottom of the intellectual barrel journalists are doing a fine job of making Obamaholes of themselves, so perhaps things are not as bad as we imagine.

As a for instance, does not NYT now bring laughter? What a collection of clowns.

I think Some media conglomerate bought if for an obscene amount of money and the agreement was his silence.

Drudge worked his ass off and cashed in. Many of us would do the same.

I read here, a couple of months ago, that Drudge sold the site to Google. It’s a believable rumor. Haven’t been to Drudge in months.

As of Friday he was still treating us to the latest news from the world of gay male porn stars if that is any indication.

I have looked at the alternatives. They failed to understand Matt Drudges formula, the secret of his success. Until Drudge went whacky anti-Trump it was an excellent site because Matt was an excellent editor with a clear eye for interesting or important stories. He also understood concision, something none of the other aggregators do - succinctly summarizing what would be in the article you are going to click on.

When Matt was in his prime there was hardly an article linked that wasn't some combination of important, informative, interesting, educational, amusing, or perhaps outright horrifying. There was a political rudder trim on the articles selected, but it wasn't heavy handed and wasn't in you face.

Rarely did I click on a link and say to myself - well that was a waste of time.

And his stripped down format had the look of a 3 column newspaper front page - deceptively simple and well organized. Like things went in like places.

These new sights miss all of that. They are messy, and their political bias hits you in the face.

He might be finally gone altogether. There’s not a single article about robot sex.

I think someone was blackmailing him in the #MeToo era.

My Guess is that part of the deal when Drudge sold out was that he could not expose the sale. The ideal was to put one over on conservatives and slowly bring them into the leftist fold. They hoped that no one would notice the change.
