Thanks for causing me to laugh milk out of my nostrils! Drudge Reports was a right leaning aggregate news site. Now it is a left leaning aggregate news site. Left and Right are opposite directions. He has changed what he does. Don't be an idiot; you are now lapping up leftist nonsense.
Hope they paid him enough to make it all worthwhile.
It is a shame that Drudge built a business that was so successful YET walked away not giving a damn what happened to it after the sale GEEZE!! He should have at least cared about what they were doing to his name!!!
Drudge is dead to me. I will not be clicking on his click bait again.
Site is not liberal enough yet, that’s all. Needs to get more woke.
He was likely told: turn left, or you will get no advertising revenue.
Yeah Drudge was taken out by the commie left liberals...when you can’t win buy them and kill them...
“like”
I also think comparing that slide in any way with a corporate slide is wacky. Corporations face a real risk of bankruptcy if sales drop enough. All it means for Drudge is somewhat smaller profits, because the cost of running that site is low.

Lol. I havent clicked on Drudge since the Lewinski Scandal. Eff Drudge or whoever runs it now.
Haven’t looked since 2 years ago.
Matt Sludge is David Brock’s doppelgänger.
Well, the folks who purchased Drudge can add a professional sports section and push moar BLM crap.
Can’t hurt?
He was good on Pro-Life news, science going wrong (e.g. cloning humans, etc.), weird sky/weather phenomenon, interesting celebrity news (e.g. conservatives coming out of the closet), and much more.
It was not just politics.
The problem with some of the supposed conservative "alternatives" is that most of them are just politics and they are echo chambers that really just repeat what we already get on FreeRepublic. Drudge used to have good old fashioned human interest stories.
@TVNewsHQ
President Trump re-tweeted news from the above site.
Could be a good source for quick hits of news
I used to frequent Drudge multiple time a day. To be honest, I’ve forgotten about the site.
Me too.
In the old times, I'd click on Drudge 15-20 times a day and link to the news source directly from his site.
Haven't been there for months and have no intention of going back.
he has it coming, try my site as an alternative.
If the stories are correct, Drudge started out as a dumpster diver. He would scour the dumpsters at the studio he worked at for news that the studios didn't want to get out.
Then after his site got going he was the way for journalists who didn't want to end their careers to get things out to the public.
For a long time he provided a great service.
If your postings just stayed in your use.net group then they were of no use. If Drudge got them out to the public via his website then he provided a service.
Just because Drudge and/or the Drudge Report have gone south doesn't mean that he wasn't a force for good in the past. I believe it was the Drudge Report that got the ball rolling on the Clinton impeachment. That ultimately didn't go anywhere, but the Deep State has been Deep for quite some time.
