Then later that morning, 22 people died and 24 more were injured in the El Paso, Texas mass shooting. About 12 hours later, 10 died and 27 were injured in the Dayton,Ohio mass shooting.
That’s when Drudge’s tone toward the president shifted. Among the upper-left headlines on August 5 was this one: “After pair of mass shootings, Trump remains out of sight . . .” August 6 featured a “Bubble Popping?”warning regarding the stock market and the U.S. economy in general—a key indicator of Trump’s re-election chances. August 8 included an upper-left Rasmussen poll showing only 47 percent approval for Trump—a relatively low number compared to Rasmussen’s customary daily figures.
Then on August 9, the Drudge Report declared in its main headline “Red Flag: NRA Warns Trump,” and the following day Drudge posted three morestinging headlines right next to a smiling Barack and Michelle Obama:
· “Trump sides with Kim criticism of US-SKorea war games . . .”
· “Trump boasted of rally crowd size during El Paso hospital visit . . .”
· “Gallup: Approval 42% . . .”
Drudge’s August11 edition included a “Senior Voters Wavering on Trump?”headline and the same 42 percent Gallup poll, while August 12 promoted former White House Press Secretary Anthony Scaramucci’s warning that Trump will “turn ‘on everyone’ and then‘entire country’ . . .” And today’s edition includes a lukewarm “TRUMP NEUTRAL” pronouncement preceding a headline highlighting Chinese protesters’“BATTLE FOR FREEDOM.”
That’s not to say one Republican’s loss is a Democrat’s gain. Throughout his journalistic reign, Drudge has rarely let up on the left.
Yet this past week’s coverage of the president has been unusually tough.Yes, it could revert to “normal” tomorrow with a glowing headline about Trump’s leadership, or a red-meat quote of Trump trashing a notable Democrat. But since the mass shootings, conservatives’ favorite online resource has attacked Trump in ways normally reserved for Democrats.

Drudge Report has turned into a tabloid news site.
Mine is 100% less.
The Drudge Report hasn’t been my news source in more than a year. I couldn’t take his anti-Trump headlines anymore.
The Liberty Daily has too many unappealing ads on their website and editorializes every headline.
I prefer Citizen Free Press as my first go to news source of the day...

I was always surprised when he was even a moderate supporter of GOP...
conservatives don’t care what his ‘private’ lifestyle is about. We just don’t want to make special concessions, give special care, or to have it forced upon us. His gayness is between him and his Creator; unless, of course, he forces us to deal with it. Then there is a problem.
Drudge is nothing but a pissed off little QUEER.
IIRC...I found FR via Drudge....a long time ago.
NEVER read Drudge, never liked FAGGOTS.
Actually, the correct term is "Homosexuality". It is NOT the Orwellian newspeak term of "gay".
In addition, accepting the perverse lifestyle choice of homosexuality is accepting the continued attack on God and America's Judeo-Christian morals & values that America was founded on...or just come out of the homo closet...
So stop defending such an evil and unAmerican lifestyle choice.
Winner!
Who still goes to Drudge???
Thanks! I’ll give it a try.
I am not a fan of ads, either!
When Drudge lost us, we stopped caring what he had to say about anything.
Stop visiting Drudge Report because of all the homo...
I think last time I even bothered to look was probably10-12 years ago. I know what you mean.
I never really cared for the guy. Seemed like a flake who would change sides at the drop of a hat if it proved to be more lucrative. Seems I was right.
Me. Every time I go online.
It’s my homepage.
Drudge and Coulter were lost a long time ago.
I think Druge, Coulter and Beck used conservatives to get wealthy, then showed their true colors.
I lost Matt Drudge about 10 years ago or so.
