The problem with LD is their incessant pop ups.

Amen to that. It makes the site seem like inflammatory-driven click bait. I've had to add a robust popup blocker, ad blocker and Autoplay blocker in order to tolerate LD at all.

Whenever a single person, male or female, starts skewing left - blame the girl/boyfriend. Except in the case of David Letterman who was under the thumb of his leftwing producer.

No doubt his sexual orientation is part of it, but ultimately, Drudge is a tabloid outlet and his goal is to drive traffic.

So, he will highlight polls that are good for us to freak libs and then do the opposite for freak us out.

I found Drudge by following a link in FR. Then unfound it just as quickly. Nothing compares to FR and Freepers!

Drudge, like Faux Snooze, has been lurching leftward for a number of years.

He’s been an issue since he helped torpedo Newt

CURE: Stop going to, and reading, his page.

I agree. Drudge is creating a false sense of complacency among conservatives, which will lower their turnout.

All day yesterday, DH had major difficulties in loading the site. He still ‘does’ Drudge as well as The Liberty Daily though he is slowly changing his habit of visiting DRUDGE as often.

One wonders if Matt Drudge and Shepard Smith share mascara and frilly panty tips.

Agree. I don’t visit Drudge much any more. It used to be the first site I visited.

Same as others. Found FR through Drudge in 1998. Avoid him now, his headlines are here anyway.

Whatever happened to Drudge Report is just sad. That site used to be my go to site for real news for years. A couple of years ago I stopped going there regularly because it was so much clickbait type stuff, too many sexually explicit links (Drudge seemed obsessed with sex robots lol), too many hair pulling fights at Waffle House, and not much actual real news. Matt Drudge’s personal life is not my business... I liked the non biased real story type links and quick posting of major news. Now, in addition to all the crap, the anti conservative bias there is slowly growing.

Get a life.

I've been going to Drudge for years to catch what the latest news is.

Many of the articles linked on Drudge, are also posted and linked to on FR.

If you don't like the opinion or slant of the articles he links to, just move on.

Drudge is not published to favor just your political preferences.

Lots of sites like that come and go. Drudge Report still lasts till now, unlike Little Green Football and Charles Johnson. His “lizard army” was unrecognizable for quite a long long time.
