For that matter, what ever happened to Matt Drudge and the Drudge Report?
Matt sold the outfit.
I often wonder that myself. Drudge Report used to be edgy and controversial, often taking on topics the lamestream media chose to ignore (much like Project Veritas). For instance, Matt Drudge was responsible for breaking the Monica Lewinsky story, which all lamestream media decided to spike. Matt forced them to cover that story, which led to Bill Clinton's impeachment and downfall.
I suspect that one day Matt was visited by some unsavory characters (in mafia fashion) and told very nicely to stay away from the controversial stuff. In exchange, he was allowed to "retire" on a nice beach, turn his website over to others, and keep his millions.
Now the Drudge Report is little different than any other lamestream newsite with a focus on entertainment and other lighter fare.
People claim Matt was ousted from the DR. Even if thats true, his silence for years on the matter speaks volumes.
