"Maybe Drudge decided he was sick of it all—and perhaps this was a wise move. Right-of-center media can be a bestiary of lightning rods and public villains. Former Breitbart chief Steve Bannon is under indictment on allegations of tax fraud; Tucker Carlson is subject to a nearly full-on advertiser boycott despite having the highest-rated show on cable.

"In this post-satellite dish era - when individuals can broadcast with neither a license or a handbook of regulations issues by Government -- The Elites, fearing loss of power, see chaos and anarchy.""They spend all week with the support press -- ET, E!, E Weekly, US, People - hyping the latest "smash hit". Then I come along early Saturday to post the overnights and expose that the audience failed to show."
"I dared to confront the mainstream (media) types so accustomed to total control."
