The Drudge Report seems to have lost its conservative-leaning. More and more the headline aggregator, whose claim to fame was Monica Lewinsky’s semen-stained blue dress, is highlighting articles that are anti-Trump, anti-Republican, and pro-Impeachment. It has been an obvious trend during the Trump Presidency that is accelerating as we get closer to the House Impeachment farce and the 2020 election. Drudge is increasingly anti-Trump. Top headline this morning, for example: “Romney Downloads on Trump: May vote to Remove!” in a glaring center headline.The article, from the known ultra-liberal magazine The Atlantic, could not be more open in its bias against the President.

I've heard that Drudge has literally "sold out" to another group and they are using his name, but I can't find any confirmation of this. Do any of you brilliant "L-dotters" know the "inside baseball" on that report. If he hasn't sold it... he sure has sold out anyway, hasn't he/

Drudge was my default news source, no longer. In fact, no longer even go there.

The news seems boring, so why not make things controversial to liven it up?
There are other sites people can choose for their home pages. It is amazing how many Drudge topics get shared and talked about in talk radio circles!
This site and Drudge are always on my list of things to peruse, but they are not the only ones...
Just be sure to separate the wheat from the chaff, because the SPIN attached to certain stories can make them confusing!

I removed all my Drudge bookmarks three weeks ago because hs RED headlines were depressing and they typical MSM BS. I need food for my soul and mind, not poison.

As with the previous posters, the DR was my home page/go to news source. Not for quite some time now. At first I thought it was me! (How silly) I do think that the trend to the Dark Side was somewhat gradual, but they are completely over the edge now.

Several months I noticed his site seemed to be hostile to Trump and I emailed him asking him whose side he was on. I still find it shocking how he has turned. Kind of makes me sick. It's not like we have an abundance of conservative news sites. Thank goodness for Lucianne.

No, #8. I just do not read the Fake News Sources that misinterpret all that Trump says and does. And, I do not want to be ambushed by my choice of a News site.
I too, have taken Drudge off of all my computers and after a month of "Liberty Daily", I am very pleased with the new site. It is the same Drudge format but does not include false stories that stab our wonderful President in the back. Between that site and Lucianne and Gateway, I am well-informed.

Drudge let me down. I left his sight a while back. There are other good news sources.
I like Liberty Daily, One America News, Whatfinger, Free Republic. Those to name a few.

I'm glad to see that this wasn't just my imagination. Drudge has been my home page for years, but now I'm switching to lucianne.com.

I noticed over a month ago that Drudge took The Blaze off his list and I wondered why. I also removed Drudge from my favorites list.

Very old news. Drudge turned some time ago.
I had Drudge as my home page for about 20 years, now have wiped out all my bookmarks. No point in going there at all, ever.

Drudge has started to look like a cheap UK tabloid. Removed from my bookmarks. Thanks for suggestions to replace him.

Wikipedia says Drudge is an anti-Trump site.

I echo what others have said -- I used to go to Drudge Report all of the time, but no longer. I use Whatfinger and Badblue Uncensored News.

The Drudge Report is simply now the “Cliff Notes” version of the DNC/enemedia daily talking points. No longer a part of my news gathering.

Not that it matters to him, but I was accustomed to checking Drudge 3-4 times a day. About three weeks ago I deleted my bookmark and will never return.

I noticed there was something slanted about Matt Drudge's page months ago, but I didn't want to admit it, and gave him the benefit of the doubt. But NO more; Perhaps it's too many mojitos or hot sun on the head down in South Beach; the fact is, he trashes real news stories and focuses on whatever speck of dirt there may contained in the new pieces. That's too bad. I don' believe he's merely a never-Trumper: he's cruising with the flow, now that he has made it big, because there's money in it. Maybe he needs a new condo; or new company in his new condo. That's too bad -- abandon principle for adulation and money from sources that will hit him in the behind when they no longer have use for him. Adios.

Maybe it's because I'm old (78) that makes me less and less willing to accept things that irritate me. At the top of the list is Chris Wallace and Judge Napalatano. Right after them is Drudge. I've erased anything to do with all of them. That makes me happy again. FOX is beginning to get on my last nerve, but so far I've stuck with them, especially since Shep quickly departed causing huge surprise to all of us who couldn't stand him! I truly believe the Rise of Trump, his re-election in 2020 and the crazed Democrats who will rip this country apart during this upcoming election, will result in a NEW place for us Conservatives to turn to. FOX will have completely left us by then, so hopefully, it will be replaced. It will need to be a TV Station that reaches ALL of us. Right now millions of us do not have access to what is out there. We need a Trillionaire to step up and be the number one station for us to trust to get the Real Truth!

#1, there's this: "
Drudge sold out to Big Tech!
If you’ve noticed that @DRUDGE_REPORT isn’t the same any more, you’re not alone.
A friend writes:
“Ron, what is going on with @DRUDGE and his recently ending his decade long independent advertising agency for his website?
“He recently signed on with a Google affiliated company, which purchased Matt Drudge’s father’s website, RefDesk, as part of the deal.
“Frankly, I’m concerned this is the sole reason Drudge went mainstream and to the left: to satisfy his new advertising agency.
“The agency is called Granite Cubed. The timing of when all this went down is not a coincidence.
“I’ve been a reader of the site daily for 15 years. His entire message, his ‘tone and timbre’ shifted – full-on establishment approved at the same time the deal was made."

I've heard that Google bought the site and I do not think Drudge edits it any longer. Next stop twitter and you will suddenly find Trump tweeting he is guilty of everything and he loves Big Brother.

I recall that Drudge was bought out by the left-leaning Google which explains the sudden change in the site's content.

The Dregs report achieved Zero clickability quite some time ago. Qwiket & Lucianne are my #1.

Drudge chases the money, it is highly likely he's been bought off by a Soros type.

By the way, Drudge has been scamming advertisers since he started. He refreshes his page every few minutes and it adds a hit every time...add sales are based on 'Hits'!
His Code:
var timer = setInterval("autoRefresh()", 1000 * 42 * 3);
function autoRefresh(){self.location.reload(true);}
