Vanity: Thursday, Bloody Thursday, The Day the Drudge Report Sold Out

Thursday, Bloody Thursday the Day the Drudge Report Sold Out

It may be the Drudge Report sold out a long time ago and I was just too blind to see it. No one has ever accused me of being the smartest guy in the room.

But if someone of the unwashed masses like myself has come to see that he has sold out, it must be quite clear to everyone.

On this day he is maliciously and brutally battering a Republican candidate for the presidency of the United States by the name of Newton Leroy Gingrich.

I have read the Drudge Report daily ever since he broke the Lewinsky story.

I have NEVER seen him attack anyone with the volume of coverage and with the venom that he has attacked this Gingrich fellow.

He has given President Obama a lot of coverage. That coverage was quite negative, but often it was rather humorous and he seemed to be tweaking him more than attacking him.

Make no mistake, he is not tweaking this Gingrich fellow, it is a constant and brutal battering.

They say the most brutal crimes are often acts of domestic violence.

This fellow Matt Drudge has always been a rather mysterious fellow even before dropping off the airwaves of the Fox News Channel and syndicated radio.

I have seen in those rare times that he has been interviewed that he has associated himself both with conservatism and quite curiously populism. I say quite curiously because today he has revealed himself to be anything but a populist.

He has fully revealed that on this quite bloody Thursday, that he is at heart an elitist who is more than willing to do the bidding of the so-called conservative elite who controls the Republican Party.

It is a quite sad day really. The MSM can be characterized as a media elite because it treats its audience as sheeple. That is what makes an elite, an elite, the elevation of those within the elite above the group at large.

The Drudge Report was not only a founding but leading member of what has been termed the New Media and a member to which most of us looked to as a most welcome alternative to the elitism of old media such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, broadcast news and cable news.

But on this Thursday, this quite bloody Thursday the Drudge Report has sold out by treating its readers as sheeple at what most surely must have been at the behest of the likes of Anne Coulter and all the other conservative media celebrities who so ruthlessly and desperately are attempting to prop up their hand selected sock puppet Mitt Romney by attempting to tear down as well as tear apart Newt Gingrich.

On this Thursday, this quite bloody Thursday, I can only say, et tu Matt.

I can only conceive of one of two things going on here:

1. The RNC is clearing the field for Romney and Drudge got the horse head message. ( If the nominee and wins, will codify all the Statist/Totalitarian gains of Hussein).

2. The RNC/GOP KNOW Romney would lose to Hussein ( insider trading means inside info. they know a big crash is coming and want Hussein and democrats to take the blame ).

Here are the 2 Romney operatives Drudge hired to run the Drudge Report last year. I wonder who is paying Joe Curl and Charlie Hurt's salaries over at the Drudge Report. Enquiring minds want to know...


Joe Curl


Charles Hurt

Not according to Gaffer. He says that Drudge doesn’t have a single anti-Newt bias bone in his body. He claims it simply a figment of our collective imaginations. So says the pro-Romney crowd.

Until yesterday's thread was posted here on Free Republic (my only reliable source for news and informed opinion), I had never even seen the Drudge Report. Last night was my first, last and only visit to that despicable website. The anti-Newt Gingrich lies were reprehensible and revealed a extreme leftist orientation.

I've since done some checking and found that the proprietor, Matt Drudge, is a libertarian. Since he's not a genuine Christian Constitutional Conservative, neither he nor his website are of any value whatsoever to me. Everything worth knowing when it comes to the future of America is right here on Free Republic. Why go anywhere else?

How about this one.

When was the last time Drudge was seen? Maybe Drudge is like Howard Hughes.

He is sedated, has long stringy hair and ridiculously long finger nails and he spends his days watching Ice Station Zebra.

Who is looking after him, who is in charge of the website? The same people who looked after Howard Hughes, The Mormons. See,that explains everything.

We are at war for the leadership of the party. Flawed as Newt is, the fact remains the entrenched Establishment hates him and they’ll burn it all down to have control. We need to fight our asses off to take it away from them.

I’d also think of banning Drudge from FR just for principle’s sake Jim.

Listening to local radio here-they are saying the polls are tighting. Newt does a great debate he can get back on top-the negative ads are causing the problems-they are all day long running. Newt needs to say strongly that he is going to reform Washington and cut the government and work with Paul’s ideas about the currency. He has to take on the establishment (that if people want the same, vote Mitt)

Shame, Drudge was one of the sites that led me here all those years ago.

Drudge thinks he is too big to fail.

Let’s prove him wrong.

Buh Bye Drudge, don’t let the door hit you in the butt on your way out.

The ads on some have a laundry list of Rino Republicans saying Newt is either dangerous or not a conservative. yes, the elites are drawing the line in Florida so Romney can buy his way through each state since he has more $$ to do. He is buying this Florida primary. I hope it backfires. Too bad, Rick S would not back out though he was in Florida earlier bashing Newt as not being a conservative. I hope something counter punches the Drudge/coulter/left agenda soon.
