It’s one of the questions you’re not supposed to ask in public but everyone talks about in private: What’s going on with Matt Drudge? For conservatives, the Drudge Report was a one-stop shop for news on the Internet starting in the late 1990s. When Matt first broke the scandal involving the President of the United States and an intern, his place at the top of alternative media, as it was called then, was secured. As always, imitators followed. But none came close to combing as many news outlets and boiling down the essence of stories like Drudge. That was his...

Conservative commentator and frequent Fox News contributor Dan Bongino is launching a news aggregator called "Bongino Report," as a competing alternative to the popular Drudge Report, the Daily Caller reported. Bongino made several tweets promoting his new project on Wednesday, saying "Tired of Drudge? Get ready, the Bongino Report is almost ready for launch," and, "Drudge has abandoned you. I NEVER will." He added later, "We will be featuring exclusively conservative and libertarian content. In other words, real news. Don't miss the Bongino Report, coming very soon." [snip]

At the end of his podcast today, Dan Bongino announced he is going to create a conservative news site to directly take on Drudge Report do to Drudge's rampant anti-Trump, anti-conservative bias... He acknowledged it will probably not have a giant impact, but he wanted to create a REAL news space for conservatives, that is free of CNN, WAPO, NYT garbage articles. Good news!!!!

"The Republicans in the House are doing a hell of a job, they're in the minority, but they must keep fighting to get the information. They must keep fighting to get to the bottom of this. They're not going to get help from a single newsroom in this country on any cable channel on any network channel. They're not going to get help from any major newspaper in this country. They're not even going to get help from some of our friends who have websites who now have become the David Brock of the internet. The David Brock of the...

For the past week The Drudge Report has posted screaming headlines pushing President Trump’s impeachment! At the same time Drudge has ignored President Trump’s 50% Rasmussen approval rating — 5 points higher than Barack Obama at the same time in his presidency. This downward spiral has been happening since 2017. In May 2017 at his peak, the Drudge Report had over one billion views! In July the Drudge Report dropped below 800,000,000 views. That’s a drop of 200,000,000 million monthly readers!

New York (CNN Business)President Donald Trump, facing an ever-deepening scandal that threatens to swallow his presidency, appears to have lost a key ally in conservative media: The Drudge Report. The narrative-setting news aggregation website, founded in 1995 by Matt Drudge, has spotlighted an overwhelming amount of negative news for the Trump White House in the last several weeks. It's marked a major shift from how the outlet had previously covered the President. "He's reacting to changing circumstances," a person close to the media mogul, who said Drudge had grown exasperated with Trump, told CNN Business.

Dear Ann and Matt, Please Come Back! There were only a handful of Trump supporters that helped carry the Donald Trump candidacy into the White House. Matt Drudge, the iconic founder of the Drudge Report, and best selling author and speaker Ann Coulter, were two key individuals who pushed Trump over the finish line. Since the election, these two leaders have gone missing. What happened? Matt Drudge Wikipedia, which is far-left when it comes to politics, reports that the Drudge Report was created by Matt Drudge in 1995. His first assistant was Andrew Breitbart, who created and ran conservative website...

Unbelievable… just when I thought Drudge could not sink any lower… He is highlighting a four-year-old video that makes it look like Lindsey Graham is attacking President Donald Trump. The worm has completely turned on Drudge.

The Drudge Report political website posted a surprising instant poll showing that its visitors believe Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii was winning the debate at the 90-minute mark, polling at almost 25% with 4,297 votes.

Ann Coulter, perhaps the most vocal Trump supporter pushing for a wall on the southern border, said on Wednesday the president will cave on his demand for a wall. In an interview with radio host Mark Simone, Coulter noted, “the president and I have had a little tiff.” She continued: “For one thing, he actually did shut down the government — though don’t worry, he will fold in the end.” Coulter decried the president last month after the senate passed a continuing resolution to stave off a government shutdown that didn’t allocate funding for a border wall. Trump reversed course...

STOCKS WILD CONFIDENCE FALLS - That is the headline on Drudge as the Dow finishes up.

Just wanted to start a thread about how Drudge has turned into an Anti-America propoganda haven. I expected better, so close to the midterms, just proves... HE GONE! Somebody probably has the real Drudge locked away in a footlocker like Mad-Eye Moody in Goblet of Fire!!

Matt Drudge, founder and editor of the influential right-leaning Drudge Report news website, targeted Fox News on Monday for what he said was an insensitive TV segment in light of the mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue.

President Donald Trump called conservative media personality Matt Drudge "a great gentleman" and his website Drudge Report as "great" in an interview with Fox News on Friday morning. "Drudge is great by the way," Trump said to "Fox and Friends" host Steve Doocy. "Matt Drudge is a great gentleman, he really has ability to capture stories that people want to see."

Drudge Report chief Matt Drudge criticized President Trump on Wednesday for his threat to take away credentials from news outlets. “I fear the future result of Trump’s crusade on ‘fake news’ will be a licensing of all reporters,” said Drudge, who typically deletes his tweets shortly after posting them. "The mop up on this issue is going to be excruciating," he added. Drudge, who is largely supportive of the president, added that Senate Democrats had floated such an idea before Trump was president.

Drudge Report founder Matt Drudge, who knows of what he speaks, dropped a bomb Thursday with the newsy prediction that CNN chief Jeff Zucker is doomed. "Jeff Zucker out either way at CNN," Drudge wrote before adding, "primetime ratings abysmal. Feud with President Trump too personal and ridiculous ..." [Snip] The problem for last-place CNN, though, is that it has actual competition in the form of MSNBC and Fox, both of which are shellacking The Least Trustws Name In News in every conceivable metric. Moreover, when compared to the same month last year, CNN’s October 2017 ratings collapsed a whopping...

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.
