Anyone notice a recent increase in negative stories about Trump in the past few weeks?

Right now:

“NYT: Behind Trump’s Failure on COVID-19”

“Repeatedly Played Down Seriousness”

“Five Takeaways on What he Knew”

“WAPO: Administration has many task forces, but still no plan”

Drudge is a regular on my go-to list for fair content, but I’m increasingly finding myself getting annoyed with his coverage lately. Thoughts?

Drudge literally sold out. He doesn't own or run the site anymore.

It’s the strangest thing - I have made a few threads about the same topic. Drudge was MAGA AF in 2015 and 16 - wha happened, mates?

Wow, thanks. I truly never knew that. I appreciate the info. Other than Breitbart, any suggestions on alternatives?

Did he ever start a new site? I’m thinking he may have an anticompetitive clause for a certain period of time.

I know he did. I wondering what’s preventing him from doing something similar with a new site.

Trump is a very easy person to write negative stories about.

So many snowflakes in here whining about drudge linking to stories they don’t like.

I still go to his site everyday. He publishes the news. Some stories you’ll agree with others you won’t. Some sources you’ll like others you won’t. That’s the beauty of it.

The only value drudge ever had was filtering out the fakest of fake news.

Google ended that so it’s useless.
