"She (Kennedy) is revolting. Can't stand her."

Neither can I. A closet-liberal and a grating loud-mouther, full of sound, but signifying nothing. I'm hoping she'll be exiled from the new "Fox Nation"....whatever THAT is.

At least a week, if you have any kind of human compassion left in your bleak soul.

Drudge isn’t suppose to be a ‘Republican house organ” folks.

I link to his site not to get “GOP main line dope” but to get a feel for the events of the day.

And not all news has been officially approved by party apparatchiks.
I don’t like the Alphabet channels and even Fox doesn’t appeal to my sense of information.
I don’t care for all his news articles so I don’t click on his sex related stories(usually homoerotic)

But his site is a slice of society as it is, not party approved propaganda and not always putting Trump in a glimmering spotlight. And face it, even Trump goes overboard sometimes and it makes news. And Drudge reports it(or rather he links onto sources that report it)

What a lot of Freepers expect is a Drudge like copy of Free Republic.
But even then there are some Freepers who whine that “unapproved news” of the other party’s opinions have leaked unto “their” site. Somehow it spoils their world outlook or something.

I for one want to know what our enemies opinions and focus are so to better to prepare our countermoves.

Others just want an echo chamber.

“Drudge is only good for the latest news in sex robots.”

I wonder, has Matt Drudge turned over editorial control to bunch of soy-chugging Millennials suffering from gynecomastia?

DR had been my first check for about 15 years. Now I may click it twice a week.

I just tried to find it in my bookmarks.

From the source - https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/matt-drudge-hits-fox-news-host-who-laughed-and-joked-after-synagogue-shooting

Drudge did not specify what hosts or show he was describing, but a tweet sent minutes earlier said, “Is it really funny?” and featured a photo of Fox News host Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery smiling on air. A graphic below Kennedy said, “Questions on how mail-bomb scare synagogue attack could impact mid-term voters eight days from now.”

The image appeared to be taken from the Fox News midday program “Outnumbered,” wherein a panel of hosts discuss the day’s news.

The synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh over the weekend left 11 dead and several more injured.

A spokesperson for Fox News told the Washington Examiner in a statement, “Kennedy made an unrelated quip at the end of the segment which was focused on unity – there was absolutely no joking or laughing about the events of this weekend and a screen grab of her smiling is hardly indicative of the entire segment. The lower third should not have been up for the duration of this segment as it was not fully reflective of what the panelists were discussing.”

They probably pay him a fortune to share their links, just like CNN does with the airports. He’s still got one of the top 600 sites, traffic-wise, on the whole net.

With the amount of money they must surely be giving him, his hard turn to the left is easy to explain.

I expect plenty of liberal media fake outrage all the way through next Tuesday, especially.

Yes, he has and is. He has been one of Trump's biggest supporters. He is a huge Trump fan. Some of you, don't understand that he is a news aggregator. He doesn't write the news, he links to it. If it is in the news, it will be on his website. Just because you are a snowflake and don't like the news, doesn't mean Drudge is going to help shield your eyes from what they are writing. Sometimes he links to stories, just to show the outrageousness of the news media.

Some of you don't understand subtlety.

I think so too.

The radical liberals / Democrats will be going all-in.

Thank you and well stated. You are correct - these people just want stories that only echo what they think and believe. What good is that?

I barely visit Drudge any more. Until two years ago I would go there many times a day.

> He doesn’t write the news, he links to it.

Drudge’s entire relevance was breaking stories the MSM was suppressing, not being just another news aggregator.

And he hasn’t done that in what, 15 years now? 20? When was the last big story broken on Drudge?
