I find myself visiting Drudge regularly because it’s one of the best places to find out what’s going on.

FreeRepublic is another.

I’ll bet the Slimes gets a goodly number of referrals from both Drudge and FR.

I used to visit some of the “primary” news sources—The NY Times, The Washington Times, The Times of London, The Telegraph, Fox News, etc. But frankly, it’s a waste of time doing it that way, so I have long since stopped. If I visit the Times or the Telegraph, it’s because I found it first on FR or on Drudge.

Back in 97 or so I found freerepublic via the drudge.

[Citizen Tom Paine]

Amen! Drudge is the place for news.

[pointsal]

.... my goodness.... Drudge must have a zillion little gnomes working 24/7 on posting solid links...

The only thing I really miss is Matt Drudge on Sunday night....

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Drudge and FR are PARAMOUNT on my daily news feeds. Period.

[mcenedo]

The Slime and the rest of the MSM think if they don't pubish a story, the public will never find out about it (Van Jones).

They look to Drudge to find out if the public is learning about what they choose to ignore, and devise strategy to mitigage their failure to report.

[JaguarXKE]

I visit Drudge and FR daily, as well as C4P.

[youscreamIscream99]

Weaselzippers is pretty good too. I would say TheBlaze but nah, plus their posting setup is lousy

[Hieronymus]

Ditto—these two sites for general news and two more for Catholic specific stuff (I’m a theologian), and perhaps a stop in at real clear politics and/or real clear markets and I’m way ahead of subscribing to a paper.

[hsalaw]

people who come directly to the site by . . .typing in www.latimes.com or www.huffingtonpost.com.

They wish. Only brain-dead libs go to those sites.

[mupcat]

I wonder if anyone has been here long enough to remember when Drudge used to link FreeRepublic, and then stopped. Just curious why that happened.

[ozzymandus]

Drudge has no actual competition that I know of. Huffpost, etc., are just leftist propaganda sites.

[BradyLS]

Yeah, I keep hoping Matt will come back to the radio mic’ one day. His Sunday show was not to be missed.

Dwight Schultz is another whom I wish had his own show. He covered for Jerry Doyle for many weeks. I like Jerry, but wish Dwight had his own gig, too.

[Genoa]

Drudge used to link FreeRepublic, and then stopped

It's his main competition for hits.

[JaguarXKE]

Then as you might guess from my FR name, I also frequent www.britishcarforum.com (politics free - just Brit cars)
