Drudge played a major role in the Clinton impeachment - now he's back for another round
Wash Post ^ | Sept 27 2019 | Avi Selk

“Impeach Yourselves!" read the banner headline on Breitbart.com Wednesday morning, summing up what much of the right-wing news world thinks of the congressional impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump that had been launched the previous day. "The psychotic anti-Trump hysteria has now completely overtaken the entire Democratic Party," Fox News anchor and Trump booster Sean Hannity told nearly 4 million viewers Tuesday. "They think anytime a Republican is elected president, there must have been something 'illegitimate' going on," Kevin D. Williamson wrote in the National Review Thursday.

So far, so typical. This is, after all, the umpteenth Trump scandal to set the country's mainstream news outlets on fire while conservatives roll their eyes. But there's one conspicuous exception: The Drudge Report has for the last three days been spewing ALL CAPS, bolded, underlined, and sometimes bright-red headlines that sound terribly grim for the president.

Really? So "The End Is Nigh" is still playing over on the Drudge Report? I wasn't aware...

Drudge has really lost his edge.

He used to be pretty savvy in assessing things. These days he’s off in the wilderness.

He used to tap insiders. Looks like the Deep State has become his main sources.

Publicity whores tend to do that, go off the deep end, that is. . Journalists don’t.

Drudge is neither of them. The nature of his site comes with a built-in ‘WTF?’ factor.

We know so little of what really goes on in the highest offices of this land and abroad. The Epstein scandal gives us just a little glimpse.

The impeach mob needs its strokes.. before the guillotine blade drops on the biggest scoundrels of all.. and that too, will be in large bold letters.

The Deep State disapproves this message and nothing that follows to the contrary.

Drudge is a website designed to maximize income and profit. You do that by being controversial so both sides will come and click.

People, just stop looking for Drudge or FNC or anyone else to be your political guidepost, spiritual leader, or anything else. THEY ARE BUSINESSES, NOT IDEOLOGUES!

I’ve never understood why this is a difficult concept to so many. USE YOUR OWN GOOD BRAIN! Because if you’re dependent on Drudge to tell you what to think then you brain is not good.

Half his crap is hidden behind paywalls nowadays. I’m beginning to suspect some kickbacks or pay-for-play going on under the table.

Didn’t Drudge tell Alex Jones that Hillary wouldn’t be the nominee, because she’s sick in 2016?

Is it journalism when Democrat thieves cover up for other Democrat thieves?

Could be. I haven’t been there for years, but this nonsense about the House effort to impeach Trump is just loonyville stuff.

BTW, all you Faux News lovers out there - Faux News is coming after Trump with a vengeance. FNC is no longer, if it ever was, “conservative.”

Drudge is being sold a bridge by people he believes to be trustworthy. Deep State isn't.

Worse, Ol' Matt is desperate to find another Blue Dress. Lesson is, that running around on a sunny day, yelling, in not going to attract another lightning bolt.

“The Liberty Daily” has a Drudge-like format without the apparent leftward slant.

Drudge must not like Trump for some reason. Maybe Drudge could not get on his tv show?

Drudge had Trump Derangement Syndrome. I removed his app off my phone and stopped reading his page.
