Better yet... DON'T GO THERE. I was a regular on Drudge Report!! Clicked on it maybe two times a hour, day in and day out.......until he turned on Trump in 2016!!!! I left and NEVER looked back nor even visited the site. Dan Bongino gets my traffic now!!!!
Drudge was at the top of my bookmark bar for years. I deleted it about six months ago and haven’t been to the site once since then.
Drudge Report was my homepage for about 20 years...haven’t gone there all year. Won’t go there again.
same here-used to be on Drudge multiple times a day, now he is not only not neutral he just comes across like other anti conservative sites-got enough of them so havent been on once this year
I read here every time there’s a Drudge thread on FR that “Drudge has sold the site” but nobody ever offers any proof except that it must have been “a secret deal.”
Heard Drudge sold to a left=leaning organization.
If true, whoever bought it did it with the intent of killing the Drudge report, which used to lean right. And, from all appearances, the buyer has been successful with the intentions.
Next is FOX news, which is already heading the same way as Drudge, although they still have a few great talents. Overall, FOX will cease to be what it was the first 20 or so years of its existence. I give it 4 years before it becomes another Drudge, or the equivalent of MSNBC or CNN.
I noticed him getting weird in 2016. 20 clicks a day for 20 years. It’s a cesspit now.
Faux News should learn something from this.
“Same here. I do like LibertyDaily. So far anyway.”
Liberty Daily is a great website. Set up format-wise is almost identical to Drudge’s site; however it is totally conservative in outlook. Try it, you will like it.
I kept checking him out of habit for a while. I spoke to Drudge and gave him a big story back in the Bill Clinton days.
Now, I won’t go there at all, just like I won’t watch the NFL.
I think someone got some goods on Drudge, and flipped him. Now, Drudge is an opportunist - he’s gonna run with whatever’s salacious or whiffs of corruption or payola, that’s his stock-in-trade - but he’s been a fairly consistent center-right aggregate site for over twenty years. For him to suddenly wage doom and gloom psychological warfare against his readership is like commiting professional seppuku. Sure, he’ll still get the Never-Trumpers to support him - Kristol, Barnes, the Sunday Morning Talking Head crowd - but he committed heresy in the eyes of his core patrons. And the Left will never trust him. He’s been a thorn in their side ever since Slick Willy left his token of appreciation on Monica’s blue dress, if not before. He’s alienated just about everyone who took him seriously, for reasons good or bad. He’s going to be the center of attention come the morning of Novenber 4th, no matter who wins. I wouldn’t be surprised if he said to his handler/benefactor/extortionist, “OK, I did what you asked. Here are a list of passwords and the keys to the car. Give me my money, I got a place in Belize waiting.”
After maybe over 15 years, I dumped Drudge and it was my home page.
I click on nothing on Drudge, only go to send him annoying false news tips. He hates that.
Never noticed that. I sent him the URL for the OP NY Post article.
LOL
Good. May it join askgieves and excite in the dustbin of internet history.
There was a rumor last year that Drudge was bought by CNN. At the same time I noticed it becoming anti Trump and stopped going to it!
Anyone know if I’m correct?
Matt is that you? lol :D
You think Drudge is also molesting Tom Brady? Sorry, couldn’t help it.
I still go to Drudge about every day just to see what the leftist talking points are and the major real news they either fail to publish at all or lie about.
