It used to be my exclusive news source but damn it’s awful now.

The headlines always seem to be so irrelevant. It’s like I’m reading tabloid journalism

When clickbait works and all you want is traffic, go with clickbait

My first takeaway is Ohio's congressional districts are no goofier than anyone else's.

I hate democrats. They are fricking roaches.

They've completely cucked out. It happened really fast too.

FOX News is getting there too but it's a much slower process. If they can Tucker, Hannity, Pirro, Levin, Hilton, Watters, McCallum and Ingraham, they've erased the final wave of conservative voices they have left.

They already ousted O'Reilly and that was absolute bullshite. They called him a womanizer and canned him for it because, like Tucker, no opposition could come on his show and run all over him. He was #1 among all cable news shows. It's been a steady decline ever since.

Not judging by this board.At least half of the OP's are Drudge headlines.

No sir they are not.

I’ve never posted a Drudge headline.

ETA: Sorry bruh...I misread what you wrote. I thought you were saying I always post Drudge headlines.

Somebody got to Matt Drudge, just like somebody got to FoxNews. I do NewsMax now. Been a bit concerned about Breitbart lately as well. But I'm thinking the problem is embedded in DISQUS - Breitbart's blog comment hosting service. For sure somebody is leaning on these folks.

Smells of a not so subtle assault on the lst Amendment as it applies to free speech.

MAGA!

I quit reading it a while ago. He has become decidedly ant-Trump. It used to be the first site I read each morning, after DandyDon of course.

Meh. Right now I'm looking at one headline making fun of Biden's Margaret Thatcher gaffe, and another poking at the plummeting prices of tickets to Bill and Hillary's tour events.

Drudge is all about clicks and always will be, he’s changing the content because it’s profitable. He does whatever brings the most traffic, period.

Both Drudge and Fox are seeing a changing demographic where we older folks are dying off and they’re trying to bring in the generation that came after we Baby Boomers.

More page views means more page impressions especially when you’re dealing with the new CPM rates being dished out by google every since they bought out Double Click.

Ad dollars drive content.

Google drives ad dollars.

We’re fricked in the long run.

I don't look at it anymore, Breitbart is one of the few news sources that are truthful with us

Don't hate it.

But probably have been on it twice in the last year. Used to be a daily visit (multiple times).
