Another Friday and another hamfisted attempt by the Drudge Report to undermine support for President Donald John Trump. A week ago, Matt Drudge was sure that the trade war with Red China was going to do The Donald in because the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down. A week before that Drudge had us in a recession not caused by Red China.
Drudge has linked and bannered stories about wars with Iran, North Korea and Syria, which never materialized.
I get that he has to link breaking news, but his continual selection of anti-Trump tripe trotted out by the Fourth Estate borders on desperation, and it diminishes and discredits Drudge

Same here. Drudge and Lucianne have been a daily part of my life for over 20 years. Now Drudge has gone to the dark side, with added sensationlist junk as filler, and Lucianne is cluttered with popups the drive me CRAZY. Oy.

Cavuto had a woman on this morning trashing President Trumps tariffs. Not one word of the positive effects for America that tariffs are bringing..

I used to start ever day at Drudge. I occasionally go for a convenient like to something like the hurricane computer models predicting the track. Otherwise, I am done with Drudge. Drudge's anti-Trump and pro-leftist turn is disheartening.

Same as OP- got online in 97,Drudge was the rage. Spotted Lucianne and have been back to Drudge- oh geeze, I dunno- half a dozen times since then(and that was because the salon was having technical difficulties.

Number six is on target..but Drudge is much worse than the tabloids. The guy is dangerous. A lot of conservatives follow him and he ain't one of them. He's a sick joke. He's a lowlife. He Will say anything to keep his trashy site in the news. The guy and his site are garbage. I eliminated him a long time ago!

Like several others, I used to get most information of interest first with Drudge, then Lucianne, and a few others if there was time, but little left of interest after Lucianne. Now Drudge isn’t even amusing, much less informative. What will we do if Lucianne ever quits?

I never understood the disdain leftists had for Drudge. All the website is are articles that appear in newspapers from around the country. Years ago, Drudge was considered a right wing website. Now, not so much.

Drudge Report is possibly the worst news site on the internet. Not only is the content trashy and irrelevant but the site itself continually refreshes itself causing readers to lose their place and thus quickly lose interest. Drudge's middle-of-the-road approach is a pathetic attempt to please everyone and therefore no one. It was removed from my favorites list months ago.

I have also noticed Drudge articles turning against Trump, but also, his topics are boring. Still love Lucianne and get the best articles here.

The Drudge Report was the very first thing I turned to when I turned my computer on, and this for many many years. Of late I barely look at it.......when I do I check to see if ole Matt is covering any of the really disturbing (Comey etc.) issues of the day, and find he has largely missed them. And I don't miss HIM largely either.

I have never thought of Mat Drudge as being a hard-core conservative. He was happy to take down Slick Willie Clinton with the "blue dress". But if he could have found pictures of President Bush and VP Cheney in bed having an orgy with a bunch of midget clowns, he would have posted it. He is primarily in it for Mat Drudge, it's that simple.
Sadly, when he clearly joined the "Never Trumpsters" a few years ago, he lost me. Too much bias!!!

Don't read Drudge any more and now i will NOT watch Cavuto either. The pathetic meathead was disgusting a couple of day ago speaking about our PRESIDENT. I never hear him speak evil about his lord and master obamba! NEVER! Cavuto is dead to me also! He needs to be on cnn where he will not be heard or seen!

I removed Drudge from my favorites 5 years ago. It is anti-Trump. Then most of the articles want registrations or otherwise to read further.

There is something personal going on here, perhaps an encounter or encounters in Florida?

Drudge now is useful to get a glimpse of what the other side is thinking. Will be interesting to see how handles the upcoming election season.

Drudge is little more than a gossip rag that one sees in the supermarket checkout line: fake news and titillating gossip head line about a baby born with 2 heads, I go to whatfinger and I get the news, not drudge rubbish. Done with him.

What's with this Drudge is his Fedora on too tight?

Kudos to #1 Lucianne pop--ups are affecting my blogs. The site is going up and down beyond control. I say it's on overload!

#24, I had a chance to speak to Matt for a few minutes year ago, and he WAS wearing a fedora, and he was
not easy to make small talk with.

FTA: It saddens me to report that Drudge is slipping over to the other side.
He's being kind, Drudge isn't slipping, he slid along time ago.
I too began my day with Drudge and it was on to Lucianne and Instapundit (Glenn Reynolds). Lucianne and Instapundit are still my go-to sites but gave up on Drudge years ago.

I haven't gone to Drudge in years. Whatfinger is better for conservatives. If I want to see what the left thinks I can find plenty of their BS all over the internet. I don't think that Matt has 'gone left' as much as his page clicks are falling. He has ramped up the scare stories and titillating items in an effort to get more hits. He's looking more like those English broadsheets every day. Next he will be linking to nudie sites.

As I've said before, Drudge is gay. He's made his FU money and is returning to the lefty fold which has always been his ideological home. He would have been just another news aggregator had it not been for the Monica Lewinsky scandal, and even then it was in an indirect fashion. Drudge revealed that Michael "Spikey" Issikoff had spiked the Lewinsky story (hence the nickname) to cover for Clinton, and therefore Drudge took the particulars public. The rest is history. So, the earlier poster is right. I didn't matter what the politics of the perpetrators were, it was just Drudge looking for something - anything - to hang his Fedora on.

Left Drudge several months ago after faithfully following the site for dozen years. I'll probably be leaving Lucianne if these pop up doesn't stop soon, ....and I won't go into the new format. Very annoying!

I found Lucianne at Drudge nearly two decades ago. Never go there now.
