For the last few days, I've noticed Matt Drudge's Drudge Report website has stopped printing photos in full color, opting instead for a cool, steely grey tone. Tonight he uses a sepia or reddish brown tone in one photo. The photos have a classic look, as if one took an image from a famous or infamous moment, and created a Lithograph from it. A tedious messy medium, those lithographs.
The old Wall Street Journal used a Hedcut printing method for their half column illustrations. Hedcuts use the stipple method of many small dots and the crosshatching method to produce a look that resembles woodcuts from old style newspapers, or engravings on certificates and currency. The style was created by a Kevin Sprouls in 1979. I haven't purchased a Wall St. Journal in years, so I don't know if they still use this style or not.
My question is, how long do you think it will be before Matt begins printing in full color again? For most people, this question brings up the image of that fellow on the cartoon Family Guy, with him saying "Who The Hell Cares?", but for those of us who may have worked in printing, commercial art, or graphic arts at one time, or took courses on such topics, it may cross the mind. I, for one don't expect this to last any longer than the next top tier Celebrity death, or outbreak of an actual hot war with Kim Jong Un.
My hubby told me to go to this site. Will not visit the asshat Drudge.
This. ?
Sorry to say, no I think you are depending on an old source which is no longer reliable. Drudge be in the bigtime now and no need to be truthful, fair or balanced... it is all about clicks now.
Drudge is not right or left. Drudge is all about Drudge.
You are welcome to your opinion
It is not my only source for news

I’m so thankful another Freeper posted the link about a week ago and that I happened to read the post about it.
The Liberty Daily has replaced Drudge in my bookmarks and IMO is so much better, with the same format. I haven’t looked back once!
He wasn’t mocking the left. The president was being blamed.
