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

FR is by far the best site on the net. JMAMOHO!
they forgot InfoWars
It is due to visitors on their site. Drudge has over 150 million visitors. We get around 12,000 visitors. We are ranked number 3,688. So we have a lot of work to do to get to top 50.
What about https://www.palmbeachgroup.com/
No ‘Liberty Daily’? No ‘Whatfinger’? This list is RINO excrement.
So, based on number of hits rather than quality of content. That doesn't explain how to separate liberal from conservative, but so be it.
I agree with you, but that seems to be the requirements for this so not much we can do about it except perhaps getting more exposure out their to the masses....that is even if we want a bunch more people on the site.
The Blaze, redstate, twitchy???
Yep, a lot of posers. As in DC.
There was a time when FreeRepublic was way up on the list.
15 years ago, the quality and depth of commentary was unbelievably strong, and intellectually, of the highest level. Its still good, but Im here primarily for the links to news articles and rarely read the comments.
Back then, I read the articles in order hat a background to the commentary.
Some of the very best were banned and never came back.
Comments in the early days of FreeRepublic often added to the information in the article. I dont recall disrupters either. It is still a great place to find out what is really happening. I am very grateful to Jim Robinson for FreeRepublic.
Yep.
