What is going on with DRUDGE REPORT? The news selected seems designed to dishearten conservatives. He continues highlighting the Nate Silver prediction that the democrats have an 86% chance of taking the house. This is very different from what I am seeing elsewhere.
Is the site under different editorial/management from past elections? Has anyone else noticed this too?
Drudge has definitely swung left. Today is the first day I have refused to go to his site, Fox News is getting close to that but I still check it. Basically, FR is the only place I can bare
I think this is plausible.
I also think his site has moved more to the center from the right to get more hits. It is a small business.
Drudge has a staff of workers
Doesn’t the Nate Silver headline make you want to vote and get others to vote?
Ditto.
I also agree Drudge is usually doom and gloom.
Nate predicted Hillary Clinton win in 2016.
Drudge is pimping the Silver predixtion because about a month ago Drudge himself predicted the GOP would lose the house. He is just supporting his own prediction.
I wouldn’t know. I haven’t clicked on Drudge for awhile. I think Drudge is just a sensationalist pimp.
still giving Drudge clicks? What’s up with you?
I have noticed and have stopped going there.
Used to go to Drudge 3-4 times a day.
Now have not checked out Drudge in over a month, deleted the Drudge app from phone and tablet.
Stopped reading Drudge a long time ago.
“uBlock Origin” makes it practically ad-free...and it’s GREAT on Breitbart to eliminate their massive memory hogging ads.
“uBlock Origin” is VERY lightweight, too.
Even if his actions were great, the site is full of shifty ads, running shifty scripts doing shifty things.
It crashes my browser, gives me spyware and everything. It’s a terrible site.
Drudge went to the dark side. I quit Drudge in early 2017.
It’s called ‘reverse psychology’. Igniting the base. Blowin’ da joint up. Vote!
I agree. It happened to my once intelligent and Christian son.
I sent hundreds of complaints to drudge about their showcasing fake news propaganda.
He’s doing it intentionally for his own reasons, of which I do not understand.
So after decades of following drudge 10x’s daily....I stopped cold turkey.
All I can say about Matt Drudge is.....
HE GONE!!!
He’s frightened to death of being deplatformed.
Same thing that happened to Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs or Glenn Beck.
They become so enamored with their popularity that they start doing stupid stuff and forget the people who made them popular.
That is one awesome aggregate news site! Thanks man!
