Do you think the Drudge Report got any USAID money?

I checked it out for the first time in ages to see if he was back on the Trump Train...and he is not.
I loved his site back in the day, but never go now. I wonder if some USAID cash steered him off course...

Didn't he sell it to someone else a few years back?

I think it is a fair question to ask of anything political that went from one side to another in a DRASTIC fashion.
That type of change doesn’t happen without a traumatic event, massive sustained propaganda, and/or big time money.

That's been the word. Not sure how involved he is anymore

I absolutely believe they and many of the usual subjects [left leaning] have, is some way or another.
I will be more shocked to find organizations the progressives call 'far right', like FOX News (lol), Newsmax receiving any.

A Soros group bought Drudge. Soros groups definitely have received USAID. I think we can connect those dots.

USAID cash

Maybe money was bundled via the fake news agency Internews Network.
Listening to Benz on Rogan my head was spinning at all the webs of fake news---- and how money and intel changed hands IN JUST THE Trump Ukraine phone call impeachment.

His wikipedia page still shows him as the owner...

although that could be BS...does anyone have a link that shows he no longer owns it or runs it himself?

Its been asked many times. I think I even googled it a few years ago. As far as I’ve seen no one really provides proof. It’s all speculation

Agreed Cluckster, used to be my go to for headlines and my gosh talk about turning a company 180. Never visit it anymore.

The Bureaucracy has done a masterful job laundering the USAID money. Sometimes up to two or three shell non profits. The mob would be proud.

i can remember when matt drudge had a show on fox news on saturday evenings. back then, he was after the clintons big time. then he got rich and things changed.

I check drudge every weekday morning out of habit. They were complete TDS during the election, calmed down for a bit after, and are now ramping back up.
I’m sure they indirectly received USAID money.

Newsbusters apparently got some money. They were supposed to be a self proclaimed middle of the road source

I thought Drudge sold out to some CCP shell corp years ago.

It is a good question.
I think Reddit likely got money, too. I wonder how long they are going to stay up in price? They are down 6% today. I wonder if people suspect that their profits were based on USAID subscriptions and paid advertising.
