WOODWARD'S TURN BRUTAL LOOK INSIDE WHITE HOUSE CHAOS CLAIMS COVID COVER-UP GIVES '60 MINUTES' BOMBSHELL INTERVIEW THE TAPES

Not even massive street riots, hordes of lawless vagrants burning cities throughout the United States and a dead-heat presidential election could help Matt Drudge’s spiraling news site in August. The fall has been dramatic and historic, but also one predicted in mid 2019 by Thomas Paine. Web numbers for the country’s biggest Joe Biden cheerleader just got worse for Matt Drudge’s spiraling news site in June. Drudge’s monthly traffic in August was 63 million readers, according to similarweb.com analytics, down from 66 million in May. The spiral continues. In September 2019 Drudge was pulling close to 95 million readers and...

Vice President Pence said Tuesday that he doesn’t “recall” being told to be on “standby” when President Trump made an unannounced visit to Walter Reed Medical Center last year. “I don’t recall being told to be on standby,” Pence told Fox News’s Bret Baier when pressed on an account included in a new book from New York Times correspondent Michael Schmidt. “I was informed that the president had a doctor’s appointment.” “I’ve got to tell you, part of this job is you’re always on standby. You’re vice president of the United States,” Pence continued. “The American people can be confident...

President Donald Trump slammed Matt Drudge for his website, the Drudge Report, leading with the story of how the president denied he had a 'mini-stroke' that links readers to a video where Trump is purportedly dragging his right leg. 'Drudge didn't support me in 2016, and I hear he doesn't support me now. Maybe that's why he is doing poorly,' Trump tweeted Tuesday evening. 'His Fake News report on Mini-Strokes is incorrect. Possibly thinking about himself, of the other party's "candidate,"' Trump wrote. Trump's comments on Drudge came after his campaign demanded that CNN fire Democratic pundit Joe Lockhart, who...

In the latest slew of "mini-stroke" hit pieces against the president, the once-conservative Drudge Report titled its headlining story, "Trump Denies Mini-Stroke Sent Him To Hospital." The news aggregation site sourced a CNN video of President Donald Trump allegedly dragging his right leg while touring a North Carolina laboratory back in July. Trump on Tuesday denied the leftist spin that he suffered "a series of mini-strokes" prompting an unscheduled visit to Walter Reed hospital in November 2019. Trump's physician, Dr. Sean Conley, even cleared his health record in a statement, affirming that Trump is "fit to execute the duties of...

Becki Falwell confirmed Tuesday that she had an affair but denied allegations that her husband, Jerry Falwell Jr., was involved as one man has claimed. Both the Falwells denied that Jerry Falwell had been involved in the affair during a Tuesday interview with the Washington Post following news that Jerry Falwell resigned as president of Liberty University.

1. Today the Drudge Report has destroyed what little credibility and decency it had left, which wasn’t much.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) August 24, 2020 2. Its headlining & and promoting the secret taping of a family member by a family member seeking to enrich herself further by exploiting her relationship with the president is bad enough.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) August 24, 2020 3. But the second headliner involves exploiting the Conways 15 year old daughter, who which is sleazy even by tabloid standards. Come out of the shadows, Matt, and subject yourself to public scrutiny rather than...

It’s a news website run out of a house in Bloomington, Indiana, by a secretive internet whiz who had a bit part in the classic Middle America movie Breaking Away. A mention of Citizen Free Press often brings a shrug even in news-hungry Washington. But overnight, the site that calls itself an alternative to the once-conservative Drudge Report has shot past competitors and is now poised to dominate the right-leaning media space. "It's fantastic. I love it. I'm breaking every rule in the modern digital news business with no social media, no Facebook, no branding, no email, and the site...

New book confirms Matt Drudge is gay The powerful owner (assuming he didn't quietly sell his site) of the Drudge Report has been assumed to be gay for some time, but a new book appears to confirm it. Many attribute President Trump’s primary success over a talented field of challengers to the Drudge Report. Matt Drudge hopped on the Trump Train early and was unrelenting in his attacks on Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, and anyone who could have threatened Donald Trump’s ascension to the GOP nomination for president. Then, he turned his tens of millions of monthly visitors against Hillary...

Every journalist knows that a link from the Drudge Report is the ne plus ultra of online engagement, with the potential to send millions of pageviews to a single story. But few reporters know much — if anything — about Matt Drudge, the press-shy media mogul behind the barebones news aggregation site he launched as a newsletter 25 years ago. Drudge, 53, has rarely been photographed, and he seldom speaks to the media. His last extensive interview, with Alex Jones, was just before President Donald Trump’s election in 2016; he refused to appear on camera. So it was no surprise...

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said during his show on Friday that once-conservative news aggregator Matt Drudge of “The Drudge Report” is “now firmly a man of the progressive Left,” noting that his site has taken on a decidedly anti-President Trump bent in recent months... ...in recent months, Carlson continued, the site “has changed dramatically, 180 degrees. Matt Drudge is now firmly a man of the progressive Left.” As such, scores of Drudge’s former conservative readers have now left the site for another rising conservative aggregate, Revolver.News, the Fox News host added. In April, President Trump tweeted that he “gave...

And Mr. Drudge has done just that — “weaponized” his site. The reclusive blogger has targeted President Trump of late, posting many stories from liberal sites (which hitherto got little play on his site). No one knows why. But even Mr. Trump has weighed in on the change: “I gave up on Drudge (a really nice guy) long ago, as have many others. People are dropping off like flies!” the president tweeted in April. I know a thing or two about Mr. Drudge: I’ve known Matt (whom I call “Doc” because of his initials, MD) for more than 20 years...

Jim Jordan, Elise Stefanik and Nikki Haley all have something in common, other than a strong affection towards President Trump. The three Republican politicians joined social media app Parler this week, adding their profiles to a site that’s emerged as the new digital stomping ground for anti-Twitter conservatives. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas arrived earlier this month and Rep. Devin Nunes of California started in February, while Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky has been a member since 2018, the year the app launched. “It’s about time y’all joined me on @parler_app,” Paul tweeted on Wednesday. “What’s taking the rest of...

Drudge surrendered to Big Media long ago. Just another Democrat Party organ. Use more reliable news aggregators. — Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) June 26, 2020

During the 2016 presidential campaign, Matt Drudge’s news aggregator, Drudge Report, was often called an “echo chamber” for Trump supporters. This wasn’t a fair assessment as the site would report on both good and bad for the President. Granted, even the “bad” stories were often from sources that spun the news in his favor, but he did not ignore the news like so many in mainstream media do today. Fast forward to the anti-Trump phase of the Drudge Report and it really has become an echo chamber. Not only does the site publish anti-Trump stories while ignoring anything that could...

Just the news is John Solomon's news site, news, podcasts. Old style reporting

Loving the leftwing attention and accolades. Sucker. https://t.co/9yp92L7Xdf— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) April 21, 2020 Here’s an excellent news aggregating site: the Bongino Report.

New York (CNN)In a rare statement, Matt Drudge, the prominent conservative news mogul, refuted President Trump's Saturday claim that traffic to his website has plummeted as its coverage has grown more critical of him. "The past 30 days has been the most eyeballs in Drudge Report's 26 year-history," Drudge said in an email to CNN. "Heartbreaking that it has been under such tragic circumstances." Matt Drudge, an influential figure in conservative media, sours on Trump as he faces impeachment The Drudge Report, founded in 1995, is arguably the most influential conservative news website. Drudge rarely reports or writes stories himself....

Conservative media giant Matt Drudge fired back at President Donald Trump, issuing a direct statement Saturday. Trump said earlier in the day that he, like “many others” had lost faith in Drudge. “I gave up on Drudge (a really nice guy) long ago, as have many others. People are dropping off like flies!” Drudge responded by giving a direct statement to CNN, saying in an email, “The past 30 days has been the most eyeballs in Drudge Report’s 26 year-history. Heartbreaking that it has been under such tragic circumstances.”

I gave up on Drudge (a really nice guy) long ago, as have many others. People are dropping off like flies!
