Fox News contributor and podcaster Dan Bongino launched a news aggregation website on Wednesday designed to rival the Drudge Report.
The Bongino Report comes as some Trump supporters have grown increasingly agitated with the direction of the Drudge Report, which has taken a noticeable turn against President Trump in recent months after being staunchly in the former real estate mogul's corner leading up to and after the 2016 presidential election.
(Snip)He previously revealed on social media that the new media platform will feature "exclusively conservative and libertarian content." In promoting his new platform, Bongino accused Drudge of abandoning the conservative movement and added that he "never will."

Apples and oranges. Bongino's site is almost all political, whereas Drudge has a broader mix.

I too have deleted Drudge a few months back; tried the Liberty File for a few days but found it very annoying and full of splashy ads. Way to go Dan, we need you. You will be my first stop in the morning, along with Lucianne as I really can't stand watching Fox much these days except for Fox & Friends; Five and Hannity!!!

Lou Dobbs on Fox Business is my Must Watch. He is 100% Trump and his supporters.

Dobbs show: Great guests and timely subjects. Problem is Dobbs. Bloviates, talks over his guests - while they wait - stumbles over his
redundant words, and more. BUT, it's a Must See program even while you writhe with frustration at the host who goes on and on and on and on...ad nauseam.

We lost Drudge but we've gained Whatfinger, BeigePage, and now Dan Bongino. A good trade!

Bongino's site seems fine, and I've certainly bookmarked it, but I think Liberty Daily (https://thelibertydaily.com/) is more like Drudge used to be. Lots of articles easily accessible.

Deleted Drudge months ago. Once upon a time he had a good idea and made money with it. Enjoy. For years I resented headlines about 4 headed cows, babies with 7 arms, etc... Unfortunately Drudge is not burdened with too much brains. He never 'grew', he is still stuck in the blue dress decade.
#9. totally agree with you about Dobbs. If only he could shut his mouth and allow a word from his 'guests. Don't know why he has them on. Just call the show Dobbs the bloviator monolog. Because of his rambling I frequently just turn off.

What #9 said. Lou Dobbs has a timely program, full of good guests (instead of those obligatory Dem apparatchiks that Fox has to plug in to look fair and balanced). But Lou himself is a nightmare. He has canned remarks on his little teleprompter (somewhere off to one side - follow his eyes) and he MUST insert them, no matter what. Lately he has gotten stuck because he always included the Koch brothers along with his rote list of the opposing forces. One has died. Oh my. Anyway, he infuriates me. The interruptions to insert his own nothingburger ranting when a guest is someone we want to hear from. But we record and watch. And sometimes I turn him off.

PS. Lucianne is still the best aggregator around. Gave up Drudge years ago. Posted an article I found at Bongino, but the website is meh and too texty-looking. Headlines need larger type and something to set them apart for easier skimming. Many would not realize those headlines are links.

He's a bloody former Secret Service agent and wanna-be expert on everything. Doubtful he'll use his own site to do much more than sell his own books.
Again, here's the list:

https://rantingly.com

I've been a daily Drudge user since the early early days. We're talking pre-Lewinskly, when Google was still being run out of a garage. Today, I officially severed that relationship and replaced it with bonginoreport.com. Between Lucianne, Conservative Treehouse, and now Bongino, I've got all the news aggregators I need. Who ever thought Drudge would sell-out and follow the Weekly Standard down the Never Trumper drain?

#14 Hannity and Ingraham are just as insulting as you claim Lou Dobbs to be.
Constantly motor-mouthing long-winded “questions” and interrupting their so-called “guests”
They infuriate me
I prefer Lou over those two BIG MOUTHS

I have no idea if there is any truth to this rumor, I heard many years ago. Drudge is gay. That answers a lot.

If he would copy the Drudge format, it would be perfect. I wonder if he will or it will just be another conservative blog site.

Dan Bongino is the perfect person to start a Drudge alternative. Smart as a whip!

I just bookmarked Dan Oingoboingo's site. I won't be deleting Drudge because I still find the list of links to various publications I frequent useful, but I certainly no longer rely on Drudge as a news source, He lost me there a long time ago.

Forget to mention Conservative Treehouse in my earlier post (#13).
Thanks MoreCowBell (#17) for the 'jog' to include it!
By the way, MoreCowBell, are you a Mississippi State University person?
My wife was the drum major of the marching band there, around 1986.

Thank you, #19. Hannity and Laura are just as bad, constant helping all their buds sell books, Sean’s constantly trying to remind views he had a dishwashing job, etc. Sean has been MEGA wealthy for decades - time to own it. RINOs don’t even go on Lou Dobbs because its the only FOX show where their cowardice is firmly addressed.
