Matt Drudge is the latest media mogul rumored to be looking for a cash infusion in the form of a partial sale of his popular news website Drudge Report.
The juicy tidbit bounced around this week from the financial world to the publishing world, reaching both high-level executives and humble reporters and editors, including this columnist. Matthew Lysiak, author of “The Drudge Revolution,” says he, too, has heard the rumors, but brushed them off as just that.
“I think the rumor that Matt would sell or has already sold the Drudge Report is completely unfounded. I know he is continuing to run the Drudge Report. I think [the rumor] continues to gain traction because people can’t understand why Matt has weaponized his website for the Biden campaign,” Lysiak told Media Ink.

MATTCASTROPHE — Drudge Report internet traffic down 53% from peak in 2016
What’s to invest in?
Seriously!
It is just another OrangeManBad website now.
Those are a dime a dozen and all report the same things.
” I know he is continuing to run the Drudge Report.”
There’s a damning statement if I’ve ever heard one.
In before the “he sold it to anonymous buyers months ago.”
Guess that explains the sudden shift to anti-Trump content over the past 5-6 months
I before the same old I heard Drudge sold posts.
My bet is that Breitbart is killing his traffic. Drudge is cheap to operate, compared to Breitbart, but all it does is offer headlines. And to shift to a liberal slant - Yahoo, Newser, et al all do that already. No compelling reason for right-wingers to continue using Drudge as it swings left, and no reason for liberals to begin doing so. Gotta wonder how much of Drudge’s traffic today comes from bots he set up to dupe advertisers.
Lies an more Damned Lies whats not to love if you like lies.
Before all the hits are gone and all the bookmarks of all the old time Drudge fans are deleted——he can say “boy, gosh, look at the visitor traffic for the past few years combined.”
What a traitor to Trump and what a little hysterical twerp who panicked over Covid like a 3 year old.
Obama forbid anyone in government to go to the Drudge Report.
Then, as if by magic Drudge goes hard left losing all credibility with his conservative base.
So here comes rantingly, newsthud, bonginoreport, etc... Drudge made every mistake in the book. Guess the deep state had a few compromising pictures of Scoop Cunningham.
Gee! A website that links to articles about the bad bad orange man! What a revolutionary idea! How much can I invest?

Matt, what is happening to you is what happened to the MSM’s ratings as they went crazy liberal.
Maybe he can get the Chinese interested. I’m just sayin’
