Drudge Report, a Trump Ally in 2016, Stops Boosting Him for 2020
NY Times ^ | 9/30/2020 | Tiffany Hsu

Posted on 10/01/2020 7:30:13 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

Something has changed at Drudge Report, the influential site known for its tabloid-poetry headlines and conservative take on the news, and don’t think the president hasn’t noticed.

--snip--

The site has perhaps paid a price for jumping off the Trump train. It had 1.4 million unique visitors in August, down 42 percent from a year earlier, according to Comscore data provided by The Righting, which analyzes viewership of right-leaning outlets. Its audience has trailed that of the right-wing sites The Gateway Pundit and Daily Caller. New rivals looking to outdraw the once-fastest news-slinger on the web include Liberty Daily, Rantingly and NewsAmmo, The Washington Times noted.

Mr. Drudge, who rarely gives interviews, did not respond to requests for comment.

I went to Drudge post debate for the first time in months to take the “Poll”. Guess what? No poll. Sheesh. The last time I went to the site was to vote in the polls regarding the Dem debates. There were Polls then!

What happened to Drudge? Same thing that’s happening to FOX. The CIA and FBI behind it?

Everything that’s “right wing” is being run by Russian ops.

Back when Drudge still ran the site, or at least determined its content, you could always tell who his latest man-crush was.

Drudge was no fan of Trump in 2016. I had been a Drudge regular since 1998 and quit during in mid 2016 due to the ongoing negative coverage of Trump. Regardless, I have not clicked on Drudge in 4 years because it is not the same website it was back in the day.

It’s really bad now. On Sunday James Okeefe had a little video out about his upcoming expose of ballot harvesting and Ilhan Omar. There was a little blurb on Drudge about Project Veritas exposé that was to drop on Monday.
I went to Drudge on Monday to see if anything was there Nothing all that dominated the page was negative about President Trump every single article. No Project veritas and the expose was really damaging but yet Drudge did not have it?
So Drudge is s not a good source for news just left wing propaganda.
The Project Veritas expose on Ballot harvesting has about 7.5 million views as of yesterday no thanks to Drudge report.

I haven’t clicked on Drudge more than several times over the past four years. When I did click it was only to confirm my beliefs. My beliefs were confirmed so still don’t visit his site.

That’s interesting. The same thing happened to me after Drudge revealed the Lewinsky affair. Drudge is also how I found FreeRepublic.

Typical Slime “news” item. They are three years too late, but since it is “just Republicans” in their world this is no big deal.

The NY Times is a day late and a dollar short on this story.

Early on, I was a drudge addict.

I was on that site 15-20 times a day, and mostly was rewarded with good links and good information.

After Trump was elected, drudge went left, bigly, and I slowed my visits.

When he went completely nutz, I just stopped going to drudge and removed his link to my computer.
