Is it just me, or does Drudge seem to be getting a little "leftist"??

I have noticed lately when I go to Drudge his stuff seems to be bordering on the leftist side. Is it me, or does everything seem to be leftist today?

Drudge has been posting Dem talking points for several weeks now. Maybe a couple of months.

Not a wise business move.

Drudge is under the scrutiny of Federal communicatii. Office.
Can’t remember why.

Yes, several of his “headlines” read like CNN. Frankly, I don’t go there as often.

At the end of the day Drudge is an aggregator of news. I find it valid to post big stories and leaks. I don’t watch the MSM and he is the starting point for my news. If he didn’t link those stories it would be a disservice.

I use Drudge just as I use FR (minus the comments), as a one (two) stop shop for news. I no longer do cable news of any color or flavor because it really is all the same. Drudge and FR give me central hubs that feed my info requirements. I chose which links to follow or ignore. Used to use Hotair, but they became unbearable for me back in 2012.

In 1998 we were freaking nobody and drudge link to us.

he’s responsible for maybe 30% of our membership maybe more.

he has also been in person at two different FreeRepublic National events, you should know that.

when you slam drudge you slam FreeRepublic.

Matt is a great guy, he doesn’t throw his weight around, he’s the polar opposite of the MSM.

Drudge has helped FreeRepublic more than maybe any other person..?

If you owned a restaurant would you give out tips to locals about what *other* restaurants to go to..?

well that’s exactly what knot does for us.

He's informing the public about what leftists actually believe. Because their ideas are so absurd, I have no problem with Drudge doing it. It will backfire bigly on the leftists, 'cuz the Silent Majority won't buy that donkey crap.

I’ve seen his Leftist shift noted from multiple sources. I’ve noticed it myself. It may date back quite a few months.

‘Online news giant Matt Drudge, founder of the popular Drudge Report, posted a scathing attack on President Trump’s White House and the Republican Party on Wednesday, saying the GOP “should be sued for fraud” for apparent inaction on key promises.

In a series of rare tweets, Drudge began with a message stating: “No Obamacare repeal, tax cuts! But Republicans vote to shut Warren? Only know how to be opposition not lead! DANGER.”’

Click Bait. It must be getting harder for him to get click throughs. Are you more likely to click on an anti-Trump headline or a pro-Trump headline? My guess is we Freepers are clicking on the the anti-Trump headlines more often thereby incentivizing Drudge to lean that way.
