50 Top Conservative Websites

We did not include in this ranking websites associated with TV networks or radio shows (Fox News, Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, etc.) and we also excluded websites related to daily print newspapers (New York Post, Wall Street Journal, Washington Times, etc.) because we wanted to focus solely on web-based content.

The big winner this year was, not surprisingly, Drudge Report. According to SimilarWeb, Drudge had 157.06M total visits in November. That dwarfs number two Breitbart, which had 82.75M visits. Beyond raw traffic numbers, Drudge has an outsized influence as a top referral source, with some sites on our list getting 10 to 20 percent of their traffic as a result of Drudge links. In fact, for many of the sites on our list, Drudge drives more traffic than Google and Facebook. In some cases, Drudge traffic is more than Google and Facebook combined.

1 Drudge Report

2 Breitbart*

3 The Daily Caller

4 Zero Hedge

5 The Daily Wire

6 The Blaze

7 The Week

Yes, so would I. I have left Drudge for good. Liberty Daily has replaced him.

We stopped watching Faux news in 2016 after Kelly planned to lynch Candidate Trump in the first debate.

In January this year we pulled the plug on the local Faux tv station. They often did a triple gangbang on President Elect Trump. The local Faux station would do a fake news hit on soon to be President Trump.

Then, they would go back to NYC or DC and a second tier Faux reporter being the #2 gangbanger with the fake news about President Trump adding his or hers fake news.

Then, they came back here for a third gang bang with some Bay Area liberal doing the the third gang banging on the fake news.

Then, the local Faux tv team would just shake their heads and go to the next news.

However, I do go to Fox’s on line news. They often have breaking news that isn’t on FR yet.

The rest of day I go to FR for my news.

In spite of having ad blocker and the new Ghostery, sometimes sites like this link do a data mine on you.

When, I went to this link, they showed an ad for a purchase I made for my wife from the new Vet Exchange site this Christmas. It was/is a very unique product.

Lot of posers. A lot of garbage with a few good sites

[Yaelle]

Did no one glance at the article?

There are two lists. FreeRepublic is #13 on the second.

[EdnaMode]

#1 should be Free Republic!

[OldMissileer]

If you read the article the list is combined from three “Ranking” sites. If you take the single list from one of them, Similarweb, FreeRepublic comes in at #18.

[Tanniker Smith]

Some are questionable because you'll be hard-pressed to find 50 good conservative sites. (It's not like you actually need 50, two or three good ones will suffice)

Hell, I've even read reddit's r/conservative sub just for another fix and some new voices (in the comments, anyway)

[Oldeconomybuyer]

One problem most of these sites share is crapware that makes them VERY slow loading, and cause my iPad to crash. FR is clean, fast, and informative.

“Conservative” has lost it’s meaning. It’s a worthless moniker today. Just look at that list! Conservative? According to WHO?

This list reminds me of Maxim magazine's 2010 `Top One Hundred Sexiest Women n America' which included Chewbacca Obama. TWS, NR? Get series.

[SVTCobra03]

And you, of course, are suffering from Blog Derangement Syndrome.

[SgtHooper]

That does it! I’m outta here! (/s)

[Revel]

Garbage. It is easy to see the list is fake news.

[mulligan]

Many on this list should bring a smile. There may be a few that are, but not many.

[chiller]

By way of comparison, does anyone recall what numbers The Huffington Post gets? I believe it’s not far from Drudge, iirc.

[WeWaWes]

i agree. a hyped list
