Headline story on Drudge is how great Harris did on the debate. Besides Free Republic, Drudge used to be one of my go-to sites for real news. They've gone all-in for Harris. Will never look at them again.
Drudge was bought off or had a massive philosophical conversion years and years ago. Trump has been the big villain there since then.
I am going to assume Matt signed a non-disclosure agreement, which is why you never hear anything definitive
I stopped reading that putz over a decade ago. He’s just an aggregator with a headline that is purely political and usually wrong. It’s been so long since I was there I don’t even think about him.
Just added that. Thanks
What I’ve found increasingly weird about Drudge is that the news sources referenced are increasingly obscure. That lead story for example leads to a website called “Deadline”? It’s a Hollywood media reports type site. Has nothing to do with anything important other than the latest news about Hollywood stars and such.
It’s almost like the Drudge people use a search term to find an article that mimics what they’re looking for; then they cite that source and link it to their page regardless how obscure the cite might be.
The site was sold some time ago. I don’t remember who/what actually bought it but I’m sure Matt is rich and retired now.

Rat Sludge has been pumping out pro DNC when Trump got in.
Remove the bookmark and enjoy life.
Where have you been? This happened over 4 years ago
Missed it. That's about how long since I've been there. Kinda surprised me.
He sold his fugly Miami retreat earlier this year for only $200K more than he bought it before the plandemic.
My take has always been, Bret Easton-Ellis finally wore Drudge down with his tales of the high life and boyfriends and not working; and Drudge made a deal that secured his dad Bob's future as well as his own.
So yeah, you are correct.
Drudge went bad decades ago.
Drudge has been a liberal outlet for many years. This is not new.
Also, while I knew it was bad, didn’t realize how bad...
matt sold the site
You’ve been on FR since 2004. It was talked about on here a lot, for a couple years. You missed it? I don’t believe you.
Oh I caught wind of it. Just never checked myself much. Did drop by Drudge a few times but only briefly. First time for quite a while I really looked. Just hadn’t realized how bad it had gotten.
Maybe “missed it” is the wrong term. Maybe “underestimated” is better.
PS Why would I lie?
Until about 10 years ago I visited Drudge regularly. Haven’t visited him once since then.
