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.
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?
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.
