Has Drudge become part of the MSM?
Drudge Report ^ | 6/12/2018 | Vanity

Posted on 06/12/2018 6:35:47 AM PDT by Tazzo

It is my perception that Drudge is exhibiting an increasingly pro-left bias. Am I alone in my view?

The last thing I want to see is an ad showing a larger than life herpes sore when I just want to get the news.

That right there is sardonically funny! +1 this AM

You just figured that out? Life is good off the Drudge train. Delete that bookmark.

Stopped reading Drudge years ago. His propensity for benign and positive homo links were offensive.

I prefer "www.thelibertydaily.com", which is a conservative version of the Drudge format.

LOL........ Places change over the years. Even FR is nothing like it was in the past.
It is now a place to post every inane thought as a thread, chit-chat, etc. But I still
scan thru it for info.

He began his move to the establishment in 2012, I could see it as he pushed Romney and undercut other candidates. Rumor has it he brought on one or two assistants (establishment creatures?) to help manage his site and new selections. I could feel a shift, and it became clearer as time went on. 2016 you see it too, once Trump won the nomination, the story line began to tilt against non-establishment candidates including Trump.

Eighteen ads blocked on that site using Brave browser versus four on Drudge

I think Drudge gets money through the backdoor from the NYT and WaPo since he links to their content so often and give them a lot of clicks. Therefore he doesn't need as many ads to stay afloat. Just my hypothesis.

FReepers who disagree with Drudge have been saying this since 1999. Somehow Drudge has survived and thrived.

Matt Drudge is the only member of the media I trust. Although he sometimes posts articles that are unfavorable to my favorite candidate or a conservative politician, he is reliably pro-life and is otherwise more objective than any other news source I know of.

I am always disappointed in my fellow Freepers whenever these rant threads get started. If you don't like his website, don't read it. None of this caustic whining and needless name calling makes his website any more conservative and this kind of destructive bashing would certainly drive most people further away. He is the most conservative member of the mass media and quite possibly the most influential. We are lucky that he is as conservative as he is.

Also, this thread has no business ever being in the News section.

You most likely won’t be missed based upon these numbers.
