The Drudge Report, that longtime haven for conservative news and wacky headlines on the internet, has gone lamestream, and many conservatives have launched new platforms to replace the gaping hole it has left behind.
Even a former editor of the Drudge Report, Joseph Curl, has stepped up to resurrect the Drudge spirit. On Tuesday, Curl announced the launch of Off The Press, a conservative-oriented aggregator that he says will have a “fearless attitude” toward covering “everything for those who devour news all day,” Just the News reported.
Curl intends for Off The Press to be a premier, 24/7 news aggregator that consumers can trust. He said the Drudge Report has become just another echo chamber for the legacy media.
“Now more than ever, keeping up with the most important stories is a battle,” Curl told Just the News. “With social media deluging everyone with endless posts on their news feeds, the internet needs an editor to cull the very best stories and present them on a single site. That will be the sole mission of Off The Press.”
Paul Bedard, “Washington Secrets” columnist for The Washington Examiner, will join Curl at Off The Press.
Although the news site’s perspective will be mainly conservative, Off The Press will also include coverage from all political angles, keeping voters aware of developments from the Left and the Right — and everywhere in between. While the site will include all kinds of news topics, Curl has pledged to avoid some of the more wacky topics that have long been a signature of The Drudge Report.

Offthepress.com sets the standard for curation of hard, reputable conservative news.
Lamestream writer...sorry, could not resist.
Competition is fierce. I looked at it - looks like a low-budget OAN or Bongino. I’ll give I a chance for a month or two, but as it is now it’s pretty thin gruel.
Anyone know what kind of traffic Drudge gets now? Haven’t been there in a long time.
Looks decent ...I hope it catches on .
Too late. The void has been filled by CFP and other sites.
Like many others, I found my way to FR via Drudge - way back when he linked to this site under the name “The White-Water Files”.
Those were heady days...
fwiw - Drudge used to be my browser’s home page, but since Trump broke him, I could count on less than one hand the number of times I’ve been to his site in the last 5 years.
Above the fold is this banner:
“Democratic donor Ed Buck found guilty in drug overdoes deaths”
He might wish to learn grammar/spelling if he wants to be taken seriously. The actual article has the correct spelling for “overdose.”
Is he Chinese?
I like Gab it just needs more content
Drudge used to be my homepage, remember those? I haven’t been to Drudge in well over 10 years now. I hope this guy’s endeavor works out and he stays true.
Get in line:

Recently, I saw a ranking of news and political websites and Drudge was in the top 5 at least. Don’t ask me why.
