It’s time to dump Drudge and go to much better sites
The Coach's Team ^ | 8/14/17 | Kevin "Coach" Collins

Posted on 08/14/2017 8:21:01 AM PDT by Oldpuppymax

In this world we may have knowledge or repose but we may not have both. The human condition is a series of decisions; we either deal with them or circumstances deal with us. Once a bell is rung in our presence we cannot un-ring it. All of these apply to our relationship to the Drudge Report.

For years we have looked to Matt Drudge and his Drudge Report as a place where we could get some actual news. During the presidential election cycle last year this was especially true. While the foaming-at-the-mouth liars in the media churned out their disinformation day after day we at least had Drudge as a kind of Radio Free America. He posted surveys which showed that Donald Trump was clearly on his way to the Republican nomination and his fairly presented news kept alive the hope that Trump could and would win the election, saving us from another Clinton presidency.

Nevertheless, like a doctor who continually works in wards full of people with various illnesses and finally succumbs to one of these severe maladies, sometime earlier this year Drudge fell ill with hubris and began to believe that it was he who elected Trump rather than us. He began acting like he could punish Trump for any number of transgressions his whimsical little mind imagined. He published the results of polls proved to be faked by irrefutable, Wiki-Leaked emails. That was no problem for Drudge. He just made believe the stories he carried (often alone) where not true and the faked polls were honest reflections of dwindling support for Trump. It was a creeping change that was hard to discern at first.

Then came Trump’s ban of so-called transgender soldiers and Drudge’s gloves came off completely. He is now just as much an enemy of ours as CNN. Some say this is because Matt Drudge is a homosexual, others say it is a manifestation of the disease of liberalism Drudge has come down with. Personally I don’t care why Drudge has turned on us and I do mean us. I just want him off my favorites list because Donald Trump is the only person standing in the way of the total destruction of our way of life.

It is now time to turn on Drudge and put him down. As happens when any enterprise is successful, imitators will appear and a very good and satisfying alternative to the anti-American Drudge Report has arisen. It is http://thelibertydaily.com where honest descriptions of our enemies abound and truth reigns.

Why add to Drudge’s questionable hits numbers and be insulted and mocked by his slanted headlines?

Search twitter to get the most up to date information from patriots like Bill Mitchell, Mike Cernovich, James Woods (yes THAT James Woods) U.S. Freedom Army and Mike Andersonsr Jim Hoft (Gateway pundit).

Go to these sites for the truth about what is happening in our country and the world:

Drudge is increasingly “sex robots”, “transgender”, “threesomes”, “reefer”, etc. As much news is devoted to freaks and click bait as legitimate reporting.

I consider myself a conservative. I don't cotton any liberals in my life because they are so negative.

But closing out the rest of the world's viewpoints is absolutely no different than what the Right does when it ridicules the Left for by calling them snowflakes, micro-aggressed, and safe space flakes, for refusing other's free speech rights.

Refusing to see what other people see and think makes us not different than those we criticize for not listening to conservative viewpoints.

I could never understand why people paid so much attention to him. I got to speak to him at the FreeRepublic "March for Justice" in 1998. I thought he was dull and over-impressed with himself then, and I never had reason to change my mind.

‘Make America Hate Again,’ isn’t news. It’s the type of caption a gay man would put up against a person he was having a spat with. Drudge had that as his top header for ~24 hrs.

I haven’t checked Drudge in about a decade at this point. He’s hip-deep in the swamp.

I get liberal headlines on dozens of news sites every day. If drudge is heading that route (and it appears he has in recent months), then I will continue to get my liberal news from other sites (CNBC, yahoo finance, wsj, nyt, wapo, twitter, the intercept, etc) and get my conservative news elsewhere (like here). I’ll still check drudge every now and then - especially around elections - but his usefulness recently has really waned - and his headlines this weekend were ridiculous. He’s getting more and more click bait. You’d think at this point he’d be worth at least $50 million and not care for click bait but apparently not.

I think some of us are starved for a bit of good news every now and again, as opposed to the tidal wave of leftist propaganda from the vast majority of news sites out there.

Drudge was a bit of an oasis where a conservative could go for a refreshing sip or even a drink. It hasn’t tasted as refreshing lately. Perhaps some of the other online watering holes listed upthread will better serve to satisfy our need for reading a sane bit of news.

Coach is wrong. Drudge has always been ‘the world as drudge sees it.’

It’s his site, he owns it, so I really don’t care. But, I don’t hold out much hope for any site being on target all the time.

The best site has always been Free Republic. Even if you disagree with the mainstream, you get to voice your opinion. And discuss in almost real time.

And YOU get to post alternative articles for all to see.

Try putting an article up on the others and see how far you get. Try ‘treehouse’, breitbart, etc. Soon we see the truth.

Support the freepathon or lose the most important, fair, open conservative site on the web.

Support the freepathon or lose the one real voice that you have.
