What Happened To Drudge?

Original Article

Posted By: M2, 12/3/2019 6:34:42 AM

It’s one of the questions you’re not supposed to ask in public but everyone talks about in private: What’s going on with Matt Drudge? For conservatives, the Drudge Report was a one-stop shop for news on the Internet starting in the late 1990s. When Matt first broke the scandal involving the President of the United States and an intern, his place at the top of alternative media, as it was called then, was secured. As always, imitators followed. But none came close to combing as many news outlets and boiling down the essence of stories like Drudge. That was his magic – he’d plow through stories and

Probably the same thing that happened to Chic-Filet and Fox....

If it's the border both he and Ann Coulter have something in common: Unreasonable one issue voters.

It feels to me like he hired someone to do the "drudge work" and he doesn't really care that much since he's made so much money.

My morning routine for quite a while has been to check the news on Lucianne and Drudge. But since Drudge has gone all wobbly, I began only using it to get to Patrick Buchanan’s site (love to read his columns). Butow I don’t even do that because I don’t want to click on Drudge and improve his score with advertisers.

Too many recognized conservatives have flipped recently for it to be a coincidence. People with strong convictions can be "persuaded" to change their views mostly by threats of physical violence to themselves or loved ones. Money may play into this as well. Remember, the left is capable of anything to get their way. A good site to take a look at in place of Drudge is "The Liberty Daily" (https://thelibertydaily.com/).

Isn't Drudge a friend of Ann Coulter? I seem to recall her mentioning Drudge frequently years ago when I used to listen to her... She's cold on President Trump and the border too. I can't/don't go to DrudgeReport any more. It's a bummer because it was my home page and I'd go there 4-8 times a day. Not any more... I can get the crap on his site on CNN or MSNBC. It's his loss..

Don't know why, but the change was obvious. Drudge used to be a daily visit from me, but that address has been removed from my bookmark list.

Don’t know don’t care deleted the app. Easy peasy! Media moves fast. Also if Ann Coulter and Matt Drudge only care about the border that’s fine but Trump is not to blame no matter how much fear porn Ann creates.

One thing we know for certain is that Ann Coulter and Matt Drudge have been friends for decades. We also know that Coulter is virulently anti-Trump...related to, at least in part, the border issue. I could see where Coulter has an influence on Drudge to the point where he is her mouthpiece.

I have a theory but, of course, I could be completely off the wall. We all know the big secret which isn’t a secret which is that Matt is gay. Perhaps he has a new guy in his life who is a far lefty and is pushing Matt to the left. Who among us, with a new “love” in our life, wouldn’t want to do everything possible to please that person?

We should always be open to the possibility that we are being pandered to as a marketing strategy any time we think we have a voice out there. That sure turned out to be the case with republican politicians we put in office in 2010. I have been using Whatfinger.com. I appreciate the suggestions others shared , I check Drudge about once a week.

NewsAmmo has an interesting set up. It has several websites featured (American Thinker, One America News, etc.) with the top (I'm supposing) headlines of each underneath each website posted. It makes it easy to scan and see what is headlined in each of the sites.

Two months ago I removed Drudge's link from my toolbar after it sat there for over 20 years. If I want my news slanting Left, I'll go to the Huff Puff. Besides the great Lucianne.com there are many, many alternatives equally as good as Drudge once was. A quick search of any internet engine (I use Duck Duck Go) will reveal that Drudge's father sold RefDesk (the secret holder of Drudge Report) and is involved now --- big time --- with Google, by way of Granite Cubed which is now Voranda. This is a company that sets up digital advertising. But is probably still owned by Google. Don't know. My guess is that like in any take-over, Drudge (as the original founder) has less and less to say about anything. His name is on the "door" but that's about it.

The simplest solution is that Drudge has been corrupted by money. He, like many others, has sold short on the market. He now needs Trump to lose to make millions, perhaps billions, on his shorts. Every American politician now puts money over patriotism, Drudge is following suit.

Yeah, it had to do with the sale of Drudge Report by Matt's daddy to a Google affiliate. Earlier in 2019 and as part of the transaction, Matt had hooked up with the affiliate who bought daddy's website which is RefDesk. The only reason Matt sold us out and went hard left mainstream was to keep his new advertising agency happy. The advertising agency's is Granite Cubed. It should be no surprise that the slant of Drudge Report shifted to full-frontal establishment approved content at exactly the same time the deal was cut. Maybe somebody else can research Granite Cubed to understand and share who else they work for. I stopped browsing Drudge Report for good last summer when I detected a sudden and serious shift in content and I deleted it from my favorites. And a couple of years ago, I stopped using Google as my browser because of Google spying tactics and went with Duckduckgo.com who does not share browsing habits. Bottom line - just follow the money. Matt, too bad you chose to go to the dark side, bro.

Understand this: If you have a Conservative opinion and a recognized voice, the Liberals in the world will do their best to shut you up and destroy you, or finagle some way to make you betray your philosophy. They will ceaselessly pound on you and your friends and family until you submit. My Dad was a top Corporate Lawyer. All of his bosses were Democrats and Deep Staters. He was also a bundler for Martin Luther King Jr., and a courier came by once a month to pick up donations he had collected from people who supported civil rights but knew, as my dad did, that they would lose EVERYTHING they had, were it discovered they supported him. Nothing has changed since then, except the Democrats and Deep Staters have become more visible and arrogant, confident in their eventual victory through their control of all the sources we once trusted: Church, Media, Education. They think they own us, already. What they own is their eventual and utter destruction. In the Civil War, Lincoln wanted to be merciful. He died for it. But understand, if we survive what's coming, that they evil that we see in the Deep State arises from within us. We must be ever vigilant of our neighbors and of ourselves, or this will happen again.

Pardon the second post, but since some are giving a nod to sites they prefer, I want to nominate "protrumpnews". Like President Trump, it delivers what it promises. And, the layout is very similar to that of The Drudge Report. Perhaps the Lucianne staff might take the lead on asking all L-dotters to suggest some of their popular conservative sites. I know I would enjoy searching through such a list that was compiled by my fellow L-dotters. Of course, Lucianne.com would top everyone's list.

Threats possibly? One can't go out on the town without fear of getting mugged and possibly killed. The Antifa thugs can "Dox" anyone these days and camp outside their home, while the leftist leaning Police (read: Union) sits by in patrol cars until enough "roughing up" has been accomplished. This is why Congresspukes, like Jeff Flake, go to DC only to become totally different animals while surrounded by civil-service-unionistas.

I tried to follow Drudge, but never could get used to it and eventually stopped going there. To be honest, I could not see what made it so special. I get 80% of my news from Lucianne. The other 20% is from the FoxNews website and sometime the Microsoft News website. No talking heads on TV. As for what happened to Drudge? I don't know, and don't really care. He seems to have made a choice.

There was another really good report pointing to Drudge saddling up with Google (for the ad money) and going back to his liberal-as-hell family. Whatever it is, it's been very disappointing. And the articles he points to now are all leftist sites.

Some guesses: Drudge was sick of all the money he was making. Andrew was more beloved, even in death, than Matt in real life. He became Nancy Pelosi's lover. Soros had some bad dirt on him and bought him off. PS: Thanks #5 for the Liberty site.

Article starts off with a false premise. Drudge did not reveal the Monica scandal, because he's not an investigative journalist. He revealed Isikoff, who had actually done the work on the scandal had spiked the story. Drudge never was a journalist; he was a news aggregator extraordinaire. As a previous poster mentioned there was no there, there.

He lost me about three years ago when his refresh rate (earning him ad $$ each time) became so frequent that the site was unreadable. I switched to Whatfinger (among others) and haven't looked back. Checked it about a month ago to see why conserv's were complaining. It is still unreadable.

Several months ago I saw a headline on Drudge to the effect that the Dims wanted to shut him down. I don't remember the context or the "legal" basis for using governmental powers to do that. After seeing what the filthy dims have done to a number of Trump associates one can hardly blame someone for bowing to the dims' threats. That said, Drudge is no longer my first or most frequent stop.

I read all the comments on Townhall and found this gem. "Why Drudge Report went to the dark side" on Investmentwatchblog-com. I never post other articles in the comments, but that article is well worth a read. Matt Drudge in 2016 gave away half of his real estate holdings to Juan Carlos Alvarado, his roommate of eleven years. Sounds like a break up to me. There are links to a real estate article in the Miami Herald confirming this info. This is the most I have learned about Matt Drudge before. Interesting to say the least.

Many people keep mentioning in July they really noticed the change on Drudge. I am sure as most of you said, follow the money is the key.

Seriously, I too have stopped going there, and I feel like I'm missing part of my daily routine, but I refuse to reward bad behavior.

Interesting you should ask: I USED to turn to Drudge every day and sometimes several times a day, but he has really jumped the shark for me: too much anti Trump and not any anti Dem or Hillary to speak of---and two think this was the man who broke the Lewinski story. I do click on every now and again for various other interesting tidbits, but not regularly, as I used to.

Some insightful journalist once said that Drudge's greatest strength was that he could come up with more catchy, memorable headlines than any of the publications he tracked. I have checked Drudge less frequently than ever. Too many tabloid "news" stories about celebrities like the Kardashians. Who cares what they do or say?

I quit going to Drudge and listening to Rush, but got to wondering if Rush still has Drudge's page up on his monitor in the background. Sure enough, the live stream is out there on YouTube today and the Drudge Report is there, top headline "Kamala Out". I was just curious and wondered what others think.

I like a variety of news, so that’s why I choose Lucianne and Drudge. Both have pro and con articles regarding Trump and the politicians. And, I only read articles that sound interesting. As for TV shows or news, I prefer straight news, not shows that are so one way, they make me gag. My idea of a fair news man is Bill Hemmer. One more thing. What difference does it make if Drudge is gay?

#38 says what I've been thinking. For many years I have relied on Lucianne, relied on and immensely enjoyed; and I value my fellow Ldotters for their wit, their intelligence and perspicacity. I miss one Poster, Karenl, I think (forget the initials after "Karen"), who for me sort of epitomized the best of the best in critiques and analyses in dark days of BO. I hope she is well.

“Maybe he’s sick of nothing being done on the border” I get that. After the 2012 election I was also a single issue (illegal immigration) voter. It was my litmus test. But as the 2016 election drew near, my outlook broadened, eventually distilling into 4 broad issues : 1) internal job displacement due to illegal immigration, 2) external job displacement due to NAFTA (and the then upcoming TPP), 3) centralization of power in DC, and 4) foreign policy that did not put America’s national interest first, resulting in endless war, regime change wars, nation building, and use of America’s military as a mercenary force to advance other countries’ interests. Triaging these, I then came to the conclusion that the highest priority had to be withdrawal from TPP and stopping the outflow of American wealth and manufacturing jobs to China. Fail to correct those and there would soon be no America left to quibble over. I would urge Drudge to similarly reevaluate priorities, and acknowledge that even if we might prioritize somewhat differently from Trump, the Trump total package still covers the issues better than any other candidate from either party.

Lucianne has been my 1st stop for years. I'd hit Drudge 5 times a day for updates, but stopped a few months ago. I check him out maybe once a week to see what kind of crap he's aggregating for the low-information voters. I, too, have been going to Liberty. Thank you fellow posters for the other suggestions. I will check them out. Drudge is pretty much dead to me.

I heard he got a new boyfriend and was otherwise occupied. Plus the new guy was liberal & Matt was desiring to please. That's the story I heard some time. Don't remember where.

Drudgereport was subjected to formulaization a good four years back. That's when they started driving clicks towards PAYWALL protected sites like Washington Post and New York Times (among others). That suggested some handsome payoffs to somebody, but it ruined the site. Neither the WashPost nor the NYT have been trustworthy in the slightrest for several decades. There is very little reason to ever look at Drudgereport ..... you can get most everything somewhere else

No useful information from the article. From what I have heard here, Drudge left the site, his father sold it to Google and they have nothing to do with it any more.

Nancy Pelosi is going to impeach Donald Trump, the duly-elected president of the United States, based on what we now know is a hoax. This is unbelievable. Because there are no witnesses to anything close to any kind of presidential wrongdoing — and no, sorry, but a mob of smug and bitter bureaucrats — even in full-dress uniform — do not count as witnesses… Because there is no actual evidence of anything close to any kind of presidential wrongdoing — and no, sorry, but Judge Napolitano’s hairline and Jake Tapper’s resting bitchface do not count as evidence… Because Democrats have exactly squat to impeach Trump with…

Oscar-winning actress and climate activist Emma Thompson has seen the future and behold, it is grim. She warned Thursday the “climate crisis” means Britons must prepare for “crop failures” and the prospect of eating their own pets to survive a future of cataclysmic weather events, great suffering and injustice. The star, 60, spoke outside the BBC Broadcasting House in central London at an Extinction Rebellion protest to deliver her warning to followers, claiming “general consensus does suggest there is an imminent crisis forecast.” As she braced herself in front of two maps, held up by activists in swimming cap and goggles, that showed areas at risk of flooding by 2030,

The imaginary recession of 2019 is over. The U.S. economy added 266,000 jobs for the month and the unemployment rate fell to 3.5 percent, matching the lowest level in 50 years. Economists had expected the economy to add 180,000 jobs and for unemployment to remain unchanged at 3.6 percent, according to Econoday. Adding to the picture of strength for the labor market, previous jobs numbers were revised up. September’s figure was revised up by 13,000 to 193,000. October was revised up by 28,000 to 156,000. Together, that adds 41,000 more jobs than previously reported. The Friday report on nonfarm payrolls makes it clear that the economy is much stronger than

The "Our diversity is our strength!" Party is starting to look rather monochromatic in its upper echelons these days. The four leading candidates for its presidential nomination — Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg — are all white. The six candidates who have qualified for the Dec. 19 debate — the front four, plus Amy Klobuchar and Tom Steyer — are all white. Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democratic Majority Leader Steny Hoyer are both white, as are Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Whip Dick Durbin.

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s yet unpublished draft report found that the FBI did not inform the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that the controversial Steele dossier, cited in applications to spy on Page, was unreliable, according to the Washington Post.

And I believe very deeply that Joe Biden’s character, his ability to persevere, his decency and the experiences that he brings to the table are critical to the moment. The world has to be put back together, the world that Donald Trump has smashed apart.”

One symptom of a society in crisis is the unreliability or even corruption of its own auditors. After all, when the watchmen have lost moral authority to watch, who can be believed or trusted? Or, as the Roman satirist Juvenal famously put it, “Who will guard the guardians?” It was recently reported that FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith altered an email to bolster a suspicious FBI effort to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court warrant authorizing the surveillance of Carter Page, a onetime employee of the Trump campaign.

Boston University School of Law students were offered therapy after three controversial Supreme Court decisions this week about affirmative action, religious freedom and student debt forgiveness. The BU Law Student Government Association's (SGA) statement, sent out to law students Friday afternoon, denounced the three Supreme Court decisions of the week: Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, 303 Creative LLC. v. Elenis and Biden v. Nebraska. In an email obtained by Fox News Digital, the student board began by lambasting the Supreme Court's decision in the Students for Fair Admissions case, which declared race-based affirmative action in college admissions is unconstitutional.

WASHINGTON − President Joe Biden plans to announce "new actions to protect student loan borrowers," the White House said Friday, after the Supreme Court overturned his signature program to eliminate up to $20,000 in student loan debt for millions of Americans. The court's 6-3 decision dashed the hopes of 26 million people who applied for student loan cancellation since Biden took the action last August, putting pressure on the Biden to find other ways for debt relief. "While we strongly disagree with the court, we prepared for this scenario. The president will have more to say today," a White House official who spoke on the condition of anonymity said.

Hunter Biden has reached a settlement in an Arkansas child-support case involving Lunden Roberts, a former exotic dancer, in which he agreed to financially support their four-year-old daughter but succeeded in his effort to deprive the child of his last name. The president’s son agreed to financially support their daughter until the age of 18, though his exact contribution was redacted in the court filing. He also agreed contribute to the creation of a college education fund, and provide an undisclosed number of his paintings for potential sale. “The child shall select the painting which shall either be sent to the child or sent to a gallery designated by Lunden Roberts,”

Freeze, thieves! Shoplifters are running so wild in the Big Apple that pints of high-end ice cream now have special locked lids to thwart cold-hearted crooks.

A sign at Fairway gives shoppers the scoop on why there’s now a barrier on the popular summertime sweets. “To help maintain the lowest possible cost, a protective lock has been placed on some units of ice cream,” it reads.

Sec. State Blinken ordered this review of the department’s response to the Afghanistan withdrawal. The result is critical of both President Trump and President Biden saying they failed to plan appropriately for the withdrawal. The report is sharply critical of the U.S. government’s handling of the most serious evacuation crisis since the fall of Saigon. It says President Biden and his predecessor, Donald Trump, each failed to appreciate how a U.S. military pullout would affect the Afghan government’s stability, and that standard summer diplomatic rotations in the weeks ahead of Kabul’s collapse left the U.S. evacuation in the hands of personnel who in some cases had been in the country
