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.

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 did the same.

There are multiple sites that do what Drudge used to do. Most of them with the same exact articles as each other. And most of those articles end up on Free Republic. I see the same stories over and over again.

There is no lack of information anymore.

Think about how things were 50 to 100 years ago. You were so limited to where you could get your news/info. That is why FDR was so powerful with his Fireside Chats. Everyone was listening.

Where the f*ck has The NY Times been? Aren’t all these liberal rags, the ones who attacked Drudge years ago, claiming he wasn’t a real journalist because he didn’t have a degree in journalism? The media is a bunch of elitists, who look down on anyone who doesn’t have a four year degree, as if that makes them smart. They’ve already proven that they’re not.
