Conservative commentator and Fox News contributor Dan Bongino launched a news aggregation website to rival the Drudge Report on Wednesday.

Bongino, a former Secret Service agent, began teasing the Bongino Report last month. He has previously revealed on social media that the new media platform will feature "exclusively conservative and libertarian content." In promoting his new platform, Bongino accused Drudge of abandoning the conservative movement recently and added that he "never will."

Aside from the top headlines, the Bongino Report features six topic areas: Election 2020, The Impeachment Witch Hunt, Culture War, Economy, Immigration, and All The Rest.

looks good

I got a warning the site may be dangerous when I went there. It works well, I wish they had used a serif font for clarity on a phone.

Don’t know what my problem is, MacAfee is telling me not to go there.

[goldstategop]

No problem on my iPhone.

< MacAfee is telling me not to go there. <

Same here.

[rlmorel]

I’ll bet. That is no accident. All it takes is a decision by McAfee to blacklist that site.

[goldstategop]

Whitelist it If your AV reports an issue.. Some AV’s report false positives when a site is in fact clean.

< MacAfee is telling me not to go there. <

I failed to heed their warning one other time and regretted it.FYI

Blocked at fed gov computer station, according to a friend

Not blocked at a .mil workstation, according to my eyes.

I can’t find how to contact Dan.
Someone who knows should let him know that we need this issue addressed.

Just bookmarked it less than 30 minutes ago.

Looks good.

That link gave me a “certificate not valid” warning.

If Bongino is accepting feedback, I'd suggest packing it with more links and keeping the graphics to a minimum. I remember seeing Drudge's postings on the Usenet, and he carried over the text-only ethic to his web site, though he later started adding some pictures.

The reason so many people started following Drudge is because he'd pack so many news links into a fast-loading, sparse UI. Right now, Bongino's site looks like far too many other sites - about 30 links in comparison to the hundreds Drudge has in the same amount of screen real estate.

Excellent. I haven’t gone to Drudge in months. I got to Bongino’s site with no warnings, it’s nice looking but will take some time to acclimate.

I completely agree. I think the temptation for someone putting up a webpage is to fall in love with graphics, trying to make their site stand out.

It’s all about content.

Give the site some “clicks.”
