It's still there in the first column, it has never stopped working.

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.

“If Matt Drudge turns on you, watch out. And if the past week is any indication, President Trump should take heed.”
I’m sure the President in really worried!
It's still there in the first column, it has never stopped working.
Drudge has been carrying water for TDS and lefties for quite some time now. Every now and then there’s something “fair” and then it’s back to Never Trumper land.
"That’s when Drudge’s tone toward the president shifted."
That's bull... Drudge has been taking cheap shots at Trump for more then a year... I don't even go there anymore, and haven't for a long time...
I go to Drudge right off the bat, and then on to FR. Something HAS been knawing at me lately about Drudge. I couldn’t put my finger on it but now it’s making sense. Lately I’ve caught myself thinking “did someone hack Drudge and put on a fake homepage?” Is there another site besides Drudge that lays all the news out for a person to glean through as well as he does/did? I Love Free Republic, but it’s going to suck to not be able to trust the sight I’ve used for my “world at a glance” HUMINT since, what was it, 1995...96? Someone please turn me on to some other alternative. FR will always be my “pot bellied stove” congregating place to hang out, but I don’t think I trust any other sites on the web anymore except FR and Jane’s Intel briefing
Drudge has attempted ridiculous, inflammatory political hit jobs on President Trump in the last few months. Significant trust and respect lost.
Drudge cast his tent toward Sodom long ago.

He’s been anti Trump since he was elected.
Well worth switching.
And ta-ta to FOX . . . OAN is where it's at.
Big ego and big money make you choose money over principals.
Too many links and popups on Liberty Daily. He also copies the exact style of the Drudge Report and even calls himself the Drudge Report. That’s why that site will never take off.
Mega Barf alert on this post and it’s presence placed here as fact or something to worry about
Bloggers live for hits, and Matt is nothing more than a blogger who links to other bloggers and supposed informational sites
Everytime we go to a site they get paid, as the name of the game is “eyes” Take a look if you are set up correctly at all of the “baggage” you pick up when you visit one. Personally I use not only an ad blocker but another one that looks deeper at all of the other little programs that build an Advertising profile for you. I have visited sites that have 20 or more of them, invisible to the front end ad blocker but still there.
Your visits, every one of them in the low defense mode generates income for the site by selling your info to others. Wonder how you keep getting stuff in your spam folder or unknown e-mails? Because you by virtue of going there gave it to them.
So to me I no longer visit Drudge as he is a sell out, he does not care at all what position he is in as long as people go there as a launch point to other sites who pay, royally, to be there as he feeds them and makes money every time
So personally to me Matt Drudge is dead, or may as well be. He is a hit whore of the first water who only wants to get paid. Wonder what happened to Ann Coulter, see the above message. Do as you wish but I am very protective of my system, where I go and what I view.
And BTW, FR shows clean every time, no problems ever
So add that to your list of reasons to contribute to this site, but be cautious about sources and sites you visit
I only think about him when someone on FR mentions him.
OAN for general news, Whatfinger for color commentary.
Bah!
Grudge is just an aggregator. Working with what he’s got.

“Trump is basically an island.”
A lone boulder of shelter against the incessant storm. And it’s constantly chipping away at him...
Who?
Drudge has been anti-Trump for about a year. He may have been ambivalent before then. But for a year or so, Drudge has been decidedly anti-Trump. My Drudge time per day is about 10% what it was two years ago.
