Matt Drudge, an influential figure in conservative media, sours on Trump as he faces impeachment

New York (CNN Business)President Donald Trump, facing an ever-deepening scandal that threatens to swallow his presidency, appears to have lost a key ally in conservative media: The Drudge Report.

The narrative-setting news aggregation website, founded in 1995 by Matt Drudge, has spotlighted an overwhelming amount of negative news for the Trump White House in the last several weeks. It's marked a major shift from how the outlet had previously covered the President.

"He's reacting to changing circumstances," a person close to the media mogul, who said Drudge had grown exasperated with Trump, told CNN Business.

We aren’t interested in Drudge.

We’re just trying to keep you from posting the same sh!t, but you’re bound and determined to keep doing it.

Finally I figured out how to remove my bookmark to Drudge so I can’t click on him anymore by mistake.

DRUDGE is dead to me.

You seem to not understand, people here on FR know that Drudge is a hit whore and a turncoat so posting his stuff here is the same or worse than NBC/CBS/ABC etc

In other words, crap

Yes. He’s been extremely anti Trump for years. The turn for the worst happened after some homosexual policy change. Been bad ever since.

Number one, it’s a Joe Biden scandal, NOT a Donald Trump scandal.

Two, Sludge soured on Donald Trump long before this impeachment BS.

It began when President Trump banned trannies in the military. Homosexual Drudge had a hissy fit.

That’s a good idea— the google algorithm is filtering to be Anti Trump and anti-consevative.

A check with Rush’s “hits” from Drudge would be revealing, him and host of other writers linked on his page.

Like anywhere else— have to have a plan getting news, opinions and all other media. Simply how it is. Whatfinger is 100’s magnitude better in content and access to the real stories.

Drudge is dead to me. Has been for quite a while. He’s become the CNN-FakeNews of aggregators. I get all of my headline fixes from TheLibertyDaily.com, Rantingly.com, and BadBlue.

There are two GREAT sites you can boomark instead of Drudge, Liberty Daily and Citizen Free Press, Liberty Daily is exactly the same format as Drudge if you are used to the Drudge format!!!!

Drudge was ALWAYS against Trump. It’s strange because Trump hasn’t really done anything to the gay community

Well Trump did put an end to taxpayer-funded genital mutilation when he stopped allowing the DoD to chop our war-fighter's dicks off.

But psychotic men who think they're girls aren't really "gay," so I agree with you.

Drudge has been anti-Trump for at least 2 years. CNN’s just a little slow on the uptake.

I have blocked Drudge in my hosts file so even if I accidentally type Drudgereport in my browser, I will see a blank page.

Had not heard of BadBlue before. Checked it out, it looks good. Thanks, RWL

“It’s factual. Read the headlines for the last few weeks.”

Irreverent

Drudge went off the reservation shortly after Trump took office. And it all had to do with Trumps policy on Tyrannies in the military. The claim that Drudge turned because of Impeachment is pure propaganda.

People here should be able to see through such propaganda.

I am amazed by how many people here look at an article like this and don’t get it.

Drudge’s mask has been off for a while, cnn.

Trump has a talent for making people drop their masks.

Who’s Matt Drudge? I heard that some guy with that same name had his career die years ago.

Turns out Drudge sold out to Google very quietly sometime back.

... and Google sold it to the Chinese, who have their tendrils in everything.
