Good day all. Like many people, I visit The Drudge Report a couple of times a day, or at least I used to. I\u2019ve noticed over the last 6 months or so that The Drudge Report seems to have gone very negative on President Trump.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It seemed to me that Drudge was generally fairly even handed, putting up links to stories on both sides during the Mueller Inquisition, perhaps coming down a bit harder on the left. Recently, it\u2019s almost like the people running CNN or MSNBC have hijacked The Drudge Report.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve also noticed that some of the links he used to put up regularly are missing, although the sites are still live and active. He\u2019s also started linking to at least one site I\u2019ve always found questionable, Infowars, run by Alex Jones. Jones is a loud mouthed conspiracy nut and I generally take everything he says with a grain of salt. He\u2019s a classic case of \u201cVerify before trusting” anything he says.<\/p>\n

The Drudge Report generally doesn\u2019t provide any original content. What it does is aggregate news items and links back to their sources. (Something the European Idiots can\u2019t seem to understand how this actually benefits them) However, Drudge does select what the \u201cHeadline\u201d story or stories of the day are. Under Obama, he would point to stories from web sites that had credible information, (Unlike Infowars), on the corruption of the Obama Regime.<\/p>\n

He also wasn\u2019t shy about going after George W. Bush when he did something utterly asinine. However, it was William Jefferson Clinton, aka Bubba Horndog, aka The Silver Zipper, that made Matt Drudge\u2019s bones. He found out that Time Magazine knew all about Monica Lewinski and spiked the story in order to protect Clinton. Drudge ran it and the rest, along with a certain blue dress, is history.<\/p>\n

With the collapse of the Mueller Investigation, the CommuNazis have been going full bore attacking anyone and everyone they see as part of the failure to \u201cGet Trump!\u201d Granted, this is news, but the sources Matt Drudge has been using have been four square in the \u201cOrange Man bad!!\u201d \u201cNever Trump!!\u201d camp. There has been little pointing the other way. By this, I mean news stories showing, with evidence, how the Mostly Stupid Media is nothing more than a propaganda arm of the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now I may be seeing things from a certain point of view, (President Trump is the Bomb!! Orange Man GOOD!), but I will freely admit to that fact. I\u2019m not sure what is going on with Drudge. Perhaps he\u2019s seeing his hit levels drop. It used to be he would post stats that he had \u201cServed one billion people\u201d or something. I have seen one of those in months.<\/p>\n

If Matt Drudge is thinking that backing the Never Trumpers will win him more click throughs, he might want to consider what\u2019s been happening to other Never Trump sites. Hot Air has lost a significant number of visitors. (I\u2019ve heard over 25%) The NeoCon magazine, The Weekly Standard, went solidly into the Never Trump camp, to the point they preferred Felonia von Pantsuit had won the election. They no longer exist. George Will and Bill Krystol are barely seen or heard from any longer.<\/p>\n

I used to visit the Drudge Report several times a day. Now I just glance at it first thing in the morning, and if all I see is Never Trumper drivel, I don\u2019t bother going back unless I see other major news stories on other sites. (Drudge is still a good source for major stories) I have a sneaking suspicion that a lot of other former Drudge fans are doing the same thing. This doesn\u2019t bode well for the continued survival of The Drudge Report.<\/p>\n
