Matt Drudge's foray into respectability has made him an unreliable -- indeed, downright misleading -- source of news. But the good news is there are alternatives to the Alternative Left Reality the Drudge Report now calls home. As a news vulture, I am on a constant search for news when online. Most bloggers are. Terry Ponick of Communities Digital News spoke for many of us in a column in which he enumerated his top sites for news. His rules are: *Report the news in a true or reasonably true manner *Report/comment on stories the so-called mainstream media bury so you can’t see them

In his article, you will find a nice mention of Lucianne and her site commenters...

I haven't clicked on Drudge in over 6 months. Sensationalist, Trump hating nonsense.

Have removed Drudge from my favorites list and quit going there about a month ago. I replaced him with Whatfinger...much, much better.

Professor Surber has compiled a seminal work, meaning he has done the legwork. I am running right along side now since I deep-sixed Drudge about the time he grabbed his pearls and fainted. Thanks, OP

I occasionally click on Drudge out of instinct. I need to remove it from the favorites bar.

Thanks for the link. I had not heard of most of these sites, being a dedicated L-dotter. If they are of interest, they usually show up here at some point.

Here are a couple more, that have been mentioned in the past on this site. They're good for quickly scanning headlines, and then you can stop and read what catches your interest.

Drudge is hyperventilating over this Dem impeachment drama. It's clear by the type of articles he makes bold red color that he's turned "Never Trumper," or that he's turned scared the Dems willl make good on threats to regulate him.

Drudge used to be my go-to, to search for news.
Very disappointing, these days. I'd like to know if the change was due to a personal dislike of Trump, investors putting pressure on him, or blackmail.
Liberals will use any of those levers at will.

Got to say I found Lucianne and Instapundit before Drudge and they remain my two main sources.

I used to go to THE DUDGGE REPORT first and read all the links. Now that the site is overrun with Left Wing propaganda, I just peek at it once a week to see if anything has changed. I leave it if I see it still has hysterical headlines favoring the Left. That means I spend less than one minute a week on that site.

Thank you for posting this. Instapundit has been my go-to site for years. I read the other sites mentioned but had never heard of Whatfinger, it's now on my bookmarks.

About 6 months ago, I realized Drudge was a very stressful site to check. Blaring left wing headlines are featured and there is no balance at all anymore. I removed Drudge from my homepage links. I will not even give that site one click now.

"L-Dotters are the great commenters."
True. I learn more from the commenters here than I do from the pundits: Always good for a laugh. Always good for insights. Always respectful of each other.

Agree with other commenters about the almost schizophrenic turn Drudge has taken. Rarely go there anymore either. Fortunately, unlike several other sites I used to frequent, Ms. Lucianne has not allowed hers to deteriorate into a saloon. Has anyone else noticed that AT seems to be attracting some new unsavory posters and a lot of trolls? Now I read their articles only when they're posted here. Will join others in giving Whatfinger a look-see.

Drudge has gone over to the dark side.
I have stopped going there and erased it from my home page, which it had been for the last 25 years.

1. Drudge sold out to the Libs.
2. His forced refresh reloads on his site download inflates the hits...mo money for ME!
Get a clue, he's been dishonest from the GET GO!

So glad to hear others have abandoned Drudge. I was a fan since the blue dress days, but it has become clear that he is trying to appeal to both sides and thus appeals to no one. I wouldn't mind so much if he didn't take an already liberal article title and alter it into something more inflamatory.

Yes instead of reporting on a 900K bribe to then VP Biden Drudge headlines a phony poll. I am surprised he isn't running a Hillary will win 90% of the vote poll. It's sad that someone you once trusted can become so tainted. Drudge is now removed from my favorites list as of this morning. Sorry Matt, I hardly know ya.

He's my first stop of the day; as I've said before, it's only to see if Russia has bombed Israel. A 20-second scan, then I bail. Depressing sensationalism is the SOP. BTW, since Dorian, where is the hurricane plague (due to Climate Change) that was supposed to devastate our country?
