Conservative news aggregator Matt Drudge appears to be telling the world that he no longer owns or operates his flagship website The Drudge Report.
In the bio of his official news feed on Twitter, Drudge describes The Drudge Report as a news aggregation website that he used to run, and suggests it was formerly based in the U.S.

“The DRUDGE REPORT was a U.S. based news aggregation website run by Matt Drudge (@DRUDGE),” the bio reads.
The mysterious change to his Twitter bio comes as several other conservatives try to compete with Drudge with their own news aggregation websites, such as BonginoReport.com, TheLibertyDaily.com, and Gab Trends.
In fact, Drudge actually promoted his competitors last month, noting that they’re “gaining ground” against his website, which is the top news website in the world.
“The Drudge Report is still the king of conservative aggregator websites, but its rivals are gaining ground,” Drudge tweeted.
However, the conservative news icon appeared to criticize former secret service agent Dan Bongino’s news website as boring on Saturday.
“Trust the plan/hope and change the Bongino Report is live. He used to be a secret service agent. [Snooze emoji] Enjoy the show,” he tweeted.
Alex Jones offered several theories regarding Drudge’s odd Twitter bio change.
“Taking Drudge’s tweet at face value, one of three things has happened: Drudge accidentally made two typos in his Twitter bio in the middle of this huge Drudge Report controversy, Matt Drudge has sold the Drudge Report and is cryptically signaling in his mysterious style, or he’s been kidnapped by drooling deep staters who have now stolen his identity,” Jones said.
“But regardless, the ever-reclusive Drudge needs to make a public appearance soon or the suspense will only continue to be hyped, which we know he hates.”

There is a statement in the obvious. Anyone that has followed his pages can see the changes as a result of the new ownership.
It was bought to eliminate yet another hard-left online website (well, it used to be to the right of hard-left).
*not hard-left
Why should that matter at all? Have you seen videos of Milo Yiannopolous?
Infowars is garbage site
I thought it was pretty well known (or at least thought) that DrudgeReport was bought by a Google subsidiary called alphabet or something like that.
Homosexuality has never been part of any conservative platform or foundational set of beliefs. Never.
Can I have just one week where I don’t have to hear anything about Matt Drudge?
It’s all I want for Christmas.
They probably put some pictures of Vince Foster in his house and then made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.
I would like to see one thread on FR that said the site had been sold prior to today. All that’s been going on is pissing and moaning about Drudge.
People have a variety of political viewpoints and philosophies regardless of their sexual orientation or lifestyle. Assuming people who happen to be gay have a particular political point of view is like assuming people of a particular race have a particular point of view. Its just wrong.
Used to be US based? Where is it based now? Epsteins island?
See post #5.
No.
Homosexuality has always been incompatible with conservatism. Reality isn’t what you want it to be.
I don’t single them out. Wife swapping and adultery is also inherently,incompatible with conservatism.
Being a professional thief is incompatible with conservatism.
And drop the whole ‘happen to be gay’ crap. almost every homosexual has been abused by adults as a child or young person, and had their sexual development screwed up by the experience or experiences.
It will come out sooner or later. Even if it’s later.
It usually does.
I’m betting somebody had something on him and blackmailed him to go liberal. I might go check out the site now that it is no longer owned Drudge. That site is on double-secret probation and has a long way to go to get back in my bookmarks.
Sure is.
Agreed.
I like being a nobody because it would take 13 minutes for an agency or group to find dirt on me if I was in the spotlight.
And then you’re owned.
I haven’t done anything monstrous but ALMOST everybody’s got a few skeletons in the closet.
I’m not buying that, gays are overwhelmingly leftist. If you admitted at a Gay Pride parade that you voted for Trump, you probably wouldn’t survive the experience.
