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.”

Dear @jack please stop your staff from changing my account settings without my knowledge. I am not a porn star or terrorist. Just some dude retweeting a news source for now 10 years, based in SF, your hometown. Love @Twitter but it's become weird. pic.twitter.com/wA9KRUZzSN— DRUDGE REPORT (@DRUDGE_REPORT) June 10, 2018
I didn't realize the Bongino Report was up and running yet. Here it is, and it's fantastic!
I wonder how exciting the Sludge Report was in its first week of operation?
And Bongino isn't filling the site with titillating tabloid trash articles and isn't shoveling ads down the viewer's throat or using a dishonest auto-refresh feature to bump up it's click count and ad revenue.
I smell a foul SOROS.
“Homosexuality has never been part of any conservative platform or foundational set of beliefs. Never.”
What does that have to do with his personal life? If he is gay, I don’t know it, he sure isn’t out there promoting that lifestyle.
Sure hope there are no gays among your family and friends.
Ironically I just UNFOLLOWED the Drudge Report on Twitter.
Try Whatfinger.com
Its good. Also try www.rantingly.com ... of the drudge competitors I like it the best. Competition for new alternatives is a good thing for is IMO.
I dunno.
The article that said google bought it was posted here several months ago.
DrudgeReport is soooo yesterday.
Selling your readers out to the enemy and hurting the movement you fought for 20 years is disgusting. Drudge got even more money but lost his reputation.
Why would he sell it? I don’t believe this story. He already had other people posting stories on it, so he didn’t have to manage it the entire day.
why would he sell it?
Perhaps he wanted to make his nut and be done with it?
I am sure he was paid handsomely.
