He is a total sellout. Probably blackmailed too.
Details on change. Interesting.
Excerpt: During that period, Drudge cast off his advertising representative of close to 20 years, Intermarkets, in favor of a new and unknown company, Granite Cubed. It has no record in the digital ad industry, was only registered as a company in March of this year, and lists no staff or owners on its websites. Yet it just landed one of the biggest websites in the US.
-snip-: Corporate records show that Granite Cubed is owned by Margaret Otto. She and her husband, Adrian, have a business association with the Drudge family that goes back years. The couple acquired Refdesk, a reference website founded by Bob Drudge, Matt’s father, in 2017. They also operated a company that began hosting the Drudge Report in 1999 and later added Breitbart as a customer. (The couple did not answer questions about whether they still own that hosting company or if it’s still hosting Drudge or Breitbart.)
-snip-: Adrian Otto is the technical director of Google Cloud. He told BuzzFeed News he is not involved with Granite Cubed. (YEAH RIGHT!)
This Summer, He Upended Its Advertising Business.

They handle his advertising
It used to be handled by Intermarkets
Now it’s handled by Granite Cubed
Granite Cubed is owned by Margaret and Adrian Otto who actually did buy Matt Drudges dads company Refdesk two years ago
They also own the company that hosts Drudge and Breitbart although nobody has clarified whether that is still true
They do not own Drudge Report....Matt does
The content is the province of he and Charlie Hurt and it’s anti Trump tilt given Hurts open support of Trump seems complicated
As far as I can tell Free Republics association with Matt Drudge dates back to when Moby was a minnow
If you want JR to squash that then ask him.
I frankly don’t understand Drudges turn to the dark side but I also recall how vicious he was to Newt when it looked like Newt was gathering steam
Rumor has it Romney had a homosexual aide de camp who implored Matt to get in board which he did and between he and Fox News attacks and Romney’s money for TV in Florida they killed Newt in the Florida primary but good
It is a controlling interest to the extent that the Otto’s are making Matt a butt load of money. In exchange Matt is allowing a butt load of ads that refresh every 120 seconds. It’s a controlling interest to the extent that Matt has whored out his website to Hollywood trash, gossip, fake news, anti-Trump news and National Enquirer type reporting. Disgusting.
Use the Brave browser and put all the shields up.
Blocks the worst.
To hell with Drudge.
