This was not an anomaly. Drudge has for years used his site as a web traffic pipeline for Russian propaganda sites, directing his massive audience to nearly 400 stories from RT.com and fellow Russian-government-run English-language news sites SputnikNews.com and TASS.com since the beginning of 2012, according to a Media Matters review. Those numbers spiked in 2016, when Drudge collectively linked to the three sites 122 times.

So what? Drudge is just an aggregator. Media Matters, abcnbccbscnn, etc. make up fake news and propagate anti-American propaganda.
F’em.

I think they published this because Matt is likely to put it on his page, generating some badly needed hits for MM.

“These MM morons havent noticed that Drudges site is just a long list of news sources”
it aint about truth, it’s about engineering public opinion and getting people used to the idea that the only true information sorces are MSM and Our Government.

Media Matters clearly has no concept what a war with Russia/China/Iran/North Korea and all their emerging allies portends for the future of the United States.....
Any idiot would understand the grave nuclear scenario which is emerging due to having been led by lib/fools for so many Administrations.

“As opposed to American government propaganda outlets like NPR and PBS. Actually, I find RT to be a lot more reliable than NPR.”
....Yes, A whole lot more that the brain numbing, CIA-scripted, idiot-level, ‘news’ in this country.....

So liberal idiots have decided that Drudge is going to be the target of their hate mantra this week. For sure the idiots at Media Matters think so. There is a mass insanity epidemic running rampant in the Democrat party. Complete loss of reality.

Meanwhile, Washington DC is controlled by Freemason, pedaphiles, homosexuals, sorcerers, Muslims, atheists, abortion activists & degenerates......which country will fare better in the coming nuclear war?

Russophobia has become the religion of the phobophobes.
To: antidemoncrat
Media Matters is far worse than Matt Drudge,
BUT...
It should be obvious by now, just by what Drudge refuses to report, that he is no longer on our side.
