There was a time when I got much of my news from the Drudge Report. It seemed to be conservative, and while it also liked to mix in conspiracy theories, Hollywood news, and an unhealthy dominance of Tom Brady fan stories, it generally got the stories right.
Today, the news aggregator is nothing like it once was. Today, its doing three things that should make America-loving patriots absolutely furious.
I think it has more to do with strategy. Leftists don’t go to Drudgereport. But if Drudge can combine large shares of conservatives and centrists, he’ll do fine.
RUSH NEEDS to STOP featuring that anti-American idiot on his program!! He always has drudge on his huge computer...STOP IT RUSH!!!!

He also needs to stop promoting “Mayor Pete” (as he insists on calling him). We get enough pictures of that freak on Drudge - who promotes him EVERY chance he gets (no doubt thrilled at the possibility that a futbucker might end up as President).
I am more inclined to think that Leftists would flock now to DRUDGE, pleased as punch to view the regular display of depravity in the several headlines, right down their lane, and would enjoy the stark turn to the Left from where the Report started.
I know Matt was never conservative, but breaking the Monica story told him that there was, at the time, certainly, an under covered conservative rain fall out there waiting to be heard and to be had. We made him rich because he covered our stuff.
He dumped us, and we dared to notice some time ago.
Conservatives should not be giving Fudge traffic. He is no friend of the conservative cause. He is a homo above all else
Drudge has definitely gone towards the dark side.
Not the same site it once was!
Your comparisons to Rush and FR are invalid because neither makes any clam to be unbiased or neutral. Both are conservative platforms so they exclude the rest by definition.
Show me where Drudge has ever claimed to be conservative or right-wing. He is primarily a news aggregator and has never claimed to favor the right in the selection of stories he features or through his headlines he writes.
Immature spelling nazi
Because Drudge is a homosexual.
Same here, Drudge jumped the shark and turned to crap. I dont pay attention to anything he says.
Drudge was never a conservative. Always a self promoter.
Curl and Hurt run the site. End story.
The Drudge Report has given me nothing but anxiety the past year or so. I’ve got to find something else.
If you're looking for more anxiety you can have my wife.
But I really am looking to buy one of those sex robots. Really. And soon.
Whatfinger.com is way too busy looking, amd libertydaily has a plethora of annoying ads.
But are still better than gayman drudge. I guess we can conclude adrudge started getting invites to beltway parties and met a few of his boys there.
Drudge always was and alway will be a talentless hack. All he does is surf and post links from other reports work while wearing a fedora, and thinking he is Walter Winchell while sitting on his lazy ass. Only problem is that’s what all the other reporters are also doing. His site is now irrelevant due to the overall death of journalism, thanks in part to him! The best part about his decline is he no longer boasts about how many hits his site gets, because like Foxnews, he is alienating his audience that made him.
If there is an invasion of anti-Trump, gay, Ebola-laden illegals...Drudge will blow up
I took a look at the Grudge report a few days ago. He was running two and three articles about the Quinnipiac poll showing Biden will beat Trump in a landslide. And bull crap like that. I just closed that link.
