Drudge’s gloating makes me wonder why 60 million people still visit the site
NOQ Report ^ | November 7, 2020 | JD Rucker

If you go to Drudge Report, you are not a conservative. You might be a Republican in the Lincoln Project RINO sense of the term, but you do not believe in the patriotic nature inherent in American conservatism.

“I go for the non-political stories,” you might say. Well, stop. There are plenty of great sources out there to get the type of offbeat news Matt Drudge has been known to surface.

“I want to see what the left is thinking,” I heard one friend who claims to be a conservative say in justification. Well, stop. Drudge’s mentality is not one of a progressive or a conservative. It is 100% self-serving, which means your visit is supporting the maniacal machinations of a media deviant.

There’s simply no need to rely on Drudge Report for anything anymore. There are incredible alternatives. My favorites are The Liberty Daily, Citizen Free Press, and Whatfinger. There are up-and-coming sites I like as well like Rantingly, Revolver, Press California, Reliable News Now, Conservative Playlist, and Rumor Mill News. Whether you want something that matches Drudge’s look and feel or something completely different, these alternatives are all far superior to the site that once helped President Trump win in 2016.

What happened to Drudge? It’s a question many have asked. Conspiracy theories have said he was bought out by the Chinese Communist Party. Others say he was like a jilted lover when someone at the White House didn’t acknowledge his media contribution to the campaign. My preferred theory is that he was never a conservative. He struck gold two decades ago by breaking some news about prominent Democrats and realized he could build a powerful website by playing to the Republican base.

It’s probably a lie. They minipulate the count on conservative sites so they probably change it to show more visitors than really read Drudge. We must never believe anything from the fake news so matter how trivial.

Why is it so hard to walk away from something after it changes into something new that you don’t like?

Fox, drudge..just walk away.

Says the guy who stayed with horrible women months and sometimes years after they changed :)

Nearly two years without Drudge. There are plenty of other outlets for gay neocons. I don’t visit any of those either. Drudge is a degenerate. May he find Christ in time.

Haven’t been there in years. People that keep going to the site “just to see what’s going on there” are giving them undeserved traffic.

I doubt that many people really visit it. When I used to go there it was apparent the page constantly kept updating. I understood each update counted as a ‘hit’ for that site. So you could be on it for 15 minutes and it updated 150 times (just guessing).

What you will never hear about including FOX is
There’s too much use of personality hate Trump preferences as the excuse for quote, impeachment, unquote. It’s a distraction from the real reason.

What should be looked into and brought to public attention is the connection to the corruption used by the swamp creatures Trump would put a screeching halt to. And offered as the real reason why they are going after Trump.

They surely count ‘hits’ on Drudge in the same way votes are counted for Joe Biden.

Probably 600 with the remaining 59,999,400 being bots.
