Drudge Report traffic plunges as content turns against Trump
New York Post ^ | 10/30/2020 | Keith J Kelly

The Drudge Report posted a 45 percent decline in web traffic in September as the site alienated its core readers by turning against President Trump ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

The data — derived from comScore, which tracks the industry — were released in a report by TheRighting, a website that analyzes traffic to right-leaning websites. TheRighting told The Post that the Drudge Report had 1,291,000 unique visitors in September, according to data supplied by comScore, down from 2,340,000 in the same month a year ago.

September’s eye-popping decline marks the ninth month in a row that the political news aggregation website run by reclusive founder Matt Drudge has seen traffic fall

Please. Don’t go to the Drudge Report even just out of curiosity.

I just visited it by accident- stray mouse click.

It reads like the bulletin board in the MSNBC break room.

I had long thought Drudge didn’t sell but now I am not so sure. Drudge is currently to the left of MSNBC. Really, really bizarre if it is same guy. Very similar to the David Brock case. Another gay conservative for pay turned SJW.

Wrong. Drudge did not sell his site.

Drudge turned against President Trump years ago. I only go to the Drudge site to vote on the debate polls.

I’m aware of those stories. But am skeptical given that Drudge is now far to the left of even CNN. If it is same person running the website they have had a break down of monumental proportions.

I quit going to Drudge about 4 years ago. They can drop down to it’s foundation for all I care...... I hope they do.

After the election I plan to dump Fox too. I am down to only a couple shows now, so it won’t be that difficult to leave Fox. Most of the time Fox smells like CNN to me.

LOL....I just recently bought more camera gear, so I can easily fill the time I would have been wasting while watching all these liars. I turn 72 tomorrow, so I bought myself a new GoPro Hero 9 Black. Should be fun.

In the Spring I should have my Yamaha WaveRunner rigged for fishing in the Straight of Juan de Fuca. I know, it sounds crazy, but our big boat is just too much for me to take in and out of the water. I hope to video catching King Salmon, Coho Salmon and Halibut. If I don’t fall off the rocket ship this should also be fun.

I pray to Almighty God that He helps our wonderful President Trump win another term. Our country can’t survive without His blessings.

Oops...I rambled. ;>)

A 45% drop after turning against the 45th President. How appropriate.

Maybe his breakup with Ann Coulter destroyed him.

He must be a pretty lonely guy.

Honestly I feel sad for him. We are all human beings, trying to negotiate through life the best we can.

I used to go occassionally, after I used to be a BIG user for years and years.

That changed about four years ago. I moved my link down in my bookmarks. Did not visit a lot.

Now I do not go. At all.
