CFP: What’s happened to the DRUDGE REPORT?

Friday, 23 August 2019, 3:30 MJA Uncategorized 27

DRUDGE‘s move to the Land of Tabloidia has been underway for some time now. It didn’t start with Trump. Can’t be blamed on him.

Canada Free Press:

To borrow a line from a Buffalo Springfield song, “There’s something happening here, what it is ain’t exactly clear.”

Have you noticed what’s been happening on the DRUDGE REPORT?

It’s gone tabloid—as in “featuring stories of violence, crime, or scandal presented in a sensational manner.” Add “bizarre” to the list.

For evidence of relocation, we need only examine the articles teased on the site’ home page beginning at 1000 hrs., on 22 August 2019. MORE

  5. I quickly check Drudge on occasion and then double check to see if I accidentally punched in The Huffington Post by mistake. It’s getting difficult to distinguish the difference.

  8. It is beyond moving to tabloids.
    He is now fully against Trump and conservatives.
    Always links from far left sources, sometimes even flat out propaganda articles, and if that is not already bad, he adds his own clickbait headlines.
    If he is not linking to the far left, you’ll see links to articles attacking the church, or Christian politicians, and the rest is his weird and unusual obsession with prolonging life, Robots! and few weird stuff like that.
    He is not even remotely a conservative, just an opportunist who now thinks he is a king maker or something like that.
    The problem with whatfinger and other sites, they are run by a bunch of people who have yet to discover how RSS feeds work. That is why they are not that popular. People would not be able to add them to their favorite feed reader on their mobile devices, phones and tablets. No one scrolls through all the pages to read. If you do that, they more power to you.

  19. He’s just trying to buy a little more time for when all news aggregators are banned from the Internet. If he moves from politics to puke, he flies a little under the radar.

    Say Hello to 1984 and Goodbye to us all.

  20. Drudge is a businessman above all else. He’s not above political ideology when it comes to the almighty dollar. He made a buttload of cash in the run up to 2016, so apparently he believes it’s time to tap the progressives.

  27. I unbookmarked Drudge a long time ago when every article I clicked on was sourced from CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC or Reuters or Associated Press. If I wanted my news from those dirtbags I’d start watching TV again. That means buying a TV. Not worth it. There are better places to find news that isn’t bullshit than Drudge.
