I still can’t believe what Drudge Report has turned into.

I used to scan Drudge religiously for my news. Now, it’s a heaping steaming pile of dog shite anti Trump propaganda.

I said still can’t believe. The “still” in that sentence does the heavy lifting indicating one has come to the realization a while ago. If it didn’t say “still” it would indicate this is a new development.

Somebody wrote Drudge a fat check for Drudge Report after 2016. Dude disappeared into the mist with his millions. Was a main fixture for decades and was instrumental in Trump getting momentum in 2015.

He got bought out, sold out, & here we are. It’s amazing what the left can do.

This happened to a lot of high profile blogs around that time. Gawker bought a bunch of properties. The insightful owners/founders/editors took a hike and in his/her place, you got a bunch of liberal arts recent grads frustrated because their art-fim-history degree didn't get them anywhere and The Atlantic wasn't hiring, so they wound up at Gawker or Drudge or Huffpo, angry with a keyboard.

Gawker's Jalopnik became unreadable about that time. A car blog with TDS.

Funny you can’t see that it isn’t Drudge that changed.

Instapundit, Powerline, and Aceofspades.

Consistent for decades.

I hope he got paid big when he left control of the site to someone else. It went from 1.4 billion page views a month to 100 million. I think it has ticked up a bit. Maybe liberals are starting to take a shine to it. I think it was 80 million last time I checked.

He has never publicly explained what happened. Last time I checked there was limited info suggesting he just stepped back from managing the site and his partners shifted the content. I find it hard to believe.

My theory is Soros or someone with deep pockets paid him for the site and included a strict NDA.

Drudge lived the American dream.Went from working at the 7-11 to making enough money to peace-out and never be heard from again.

Drudge been holed up for almost a decade. His last confirmed broadcast/public appearance was March 31, 2017, when he appeared in-studio as a guest on Savage Nation.

in 2019 a journalist tried to track him down and went to Drudge's remote property in Miami-Dade Co. Ends up talking to somebody working at the property. Later Drudge calls the guy and tells him to stay off his property or he'll call the law.

2024 a guy does a podcast called Finding Matt Drudge.

No verified public sightings, interviews, or appearances since 2017

Got up one day and dropped completely off the radar.

Its only been 10+ years since he sold out.

But it did used to be a great aggregator. One of the first.

It ain't about what has happened to Drudge; it's about what Trump has done to our country.

Haven't typed that in my browser in a decade. Had honestly forgotten all about it.
