Can't get into Drudge. Anybody else?
I’m sure you’re being sarcastic, and can’t be serious.
The DrudgeReport has been a Huge influence in the world of conservative politics, very often featuring articles that expose leftists-socialist-democrats as hypocritical corrupt frauds. Matt Drudge gives attention to news stories that the US mainstream media refuses to cover, ie: studies contradicting global climate warming, un/under-reported increasing black-on-white assaults, national debt crisis, ongoing weekend pResidential executive orders, etc.
The Hollyweird news items are usually relevant in the broad picture since our society is so affected (adversely) by entertainers and their industry. Drudge wouldn’t have the web presence audience (Billion views per year) if his site was strictly political.
Anyway, he keeps Obola, Jarrett, dems and Rinos up at night and for me, that’s a very good thing.
Still down.
No I’m not being sarcastic. Nonsense garbage like this is what makes it a tabloid swine site now. Examples from the down site now:
Madonna Topless. WHO CARES... http://www.interviewmagazine.com/music/madonna-1
Two hollyweird idiots clashing. WHO CARES...

15 years ago, different story. Today, TRASH.
I found Free Republic from a link on Drudge, many years before I created this account.
I’m not interested in Hollyweird either, but Drudge has been a force for good over the long haul.
Lets fight the real enemy. Totalitarians.
I agree with you re. the past, as in 10-15 years ago.
But it’s hard to get around the page when there’s so much hollyweird weeds and total garbage to go through. I get far better results just running special news searches through Google. Articles of interest come up much faster, sometimes hours ahead. With special exclusions, I don’t get the noise anymore. Sometimes I use Myway.com. That seems OK for main news.
Drudge has pretty much been irrelevant for the past 3-4 years. Once in a great moon something might appear there. Other than that, I’ve found better news and sources here at FreeRepublic than anywhere else.
I haven’t been able to get on for over 3 hrs.
It’s up for me now @ 6:02am (EST)

Well, don’t go to Drudge if you don’t like it or can’t find any utility in it.
Unless, of course, it’s one of your “guilty pleasures”.
