has Drudge moved left?

Posted on 01/03/2018 2:20:56 PM PST by MNDude

Drudge Report has been consistently conservative as long as I remember. Yet, of late, I feel like he's kind of ant-Trump, even anti conservative. If so, why?

am I wrong?

This was discussed here a while back and I have the same take as EEGator, Drudge hasn’t changed his politics, he’s trying to broaden his base. I see both pro and anti-Trump posts there.

I think he’s just a click-whore (NTTAWWT) and he’s got more competition than ever.

Could the Bannon kerfuffle be a big distraction from other things happening? As in orchestrated?

Not to the left, but to a strange hybrid ideology that sometimes looks “conservative”, but is better identified as “libertarian”, which at times can look an awful lot like some of the positions adopted by the Left. The hard Left, though, only adopts those positions because they can rag the Conservatives with them, like “medical” or “recreational” marijuana, or about things like a degree of hypersensitivity about “privacy”, don’t go snooping around in personal sex lives.

Fake Bannon account. That’s what the tweets are saying.

Methinks Bannon needs more than one cute tweet to get out of this one.

He may need a full blown presser with coronets, as the White House blames Bannon for lining up Wolf with every interview occurring among WH staffers, department heads, pals and passersby, as far as they can tell, according to Sarah Sanders. Interviewees say that it was at Bannon’s direction they participated with this Wolf guy.

Drudge is gay. Trump is not a follower of the LGwhatever movement. He and his advisors want a heterosexual military. That’s enough to set Drudge against him.

Well I have never been a close follower of Drudge, but my impression has always been that he is more about sensation and hits than about conservatism.

Nope, you are not wrong. That is why my “go to” is now “The Liberty Daily” ... I hate their ads all over the place, but their news is RIGHT!

It’s just a rollout blitz for a book. Bannon is cashing in. It’s a D. C. tradition for those on the edges that don’t get to wet their beaks in the big money.

No he hasn’t. Some here at FR don’t like that an aggregator is just that.

He has included many pro Trump head
Ones and articles. He has excoriated the left on climate change. He is still doing Drudge

Personal life[edit]
Drudge had a long relationship with Washington D.C. landscaper, David Cohen.[27] Cohen confirmed the relationship to the New York Daily News.[28][29] Drudge previously lived in Hollywood. As of 2007, he owns two properties in Miami – a $1.4 million Mediterranean-style stucco house on Rivo Alto Island,[2] and a $1-million-plus condominium in Miami’s Four Seasons hotel.[6] By early 2009, Drudge earned millions of dollars a year, travelled extensively (Israel, Las Vegas, Geneva), moved to another property in Miami and had become reclusive.[12] In 2003 he said his one indulgence, apart from travel, was his Corvette.[30] He was listed on Out Magazine’s Power List of the top 50 “list of gay men and women whose power and prestige is instrumental in influencing how we think about, and engage with, the world”[31] in 2011,[32] 2012,[33] and 2013.[31][34] Drudge specifically denied being homosexual in response to the Out Magazine article.

Drudge is more a fan of Walter Winchell than of Ronald Reagan.

I stopped going to Drudge at the time of that false flag known as Charlottesville.

Drudge ran a headline, “Make America Hate Again.”

That was it for me. I haven’t been back since.
