or Trumpbart for me.

Andrew Brietbart is spinning in his grave as his brilliant work has been orangejacked.

It's very noticeable how many supposedly conservative newsites have jumped into the "alt-right" (ie: skinhead, neo-Nazi) pool with both eyes open.

It's lead me to wonder if they were that way all along, just hiding their views with a veil of respectability.

For the people running the show and writing the news didn't change much (outside of 3-4 people at Breitbart).

Drudge was and always has been a news aggregate site. A giant mass of click bait that he got paid for by tue click.   

I think the biggest mistake we all made and Drudge took advantage of...was the belief we all had that he was conservative based on the amount of anti-Liberal stuff he links to. 

Turns out he was just playing us to line his own pockets.

What's your point?   Drudge isn't trustworthy so people can go back to TOS?  Not only does that make absolutely no sense, it's a cheap shot and fairly malicious.

I ditched Drudge in the last election and can manage to find news without the neo fascists at TOS telling me what is and isn't safe to read.

Yep, he will do without me, and do just fine, as I figure it.
He ain't the only game in town.
Neither is WAPO, NYT, or TOS.
You should get out more

I had always assumed Drudge was gay and a bit more of an opportunistic entrepreneur than a conservative.  Not trying to smear the guy, I had actually read he was openly gay, or at least, it was an open secret.

For me, it was "if he's not against us, he's for us".  However, I never felt this site was expressly conservative.

He'll be gone within three years.  Like Fox News, he just trashed his core constituency, and deliberately so.  That was a seriously poor business decision.

Well, we have been assured the National Enquirer and twitter and facebook are the new gold standard.

(Meh.)

I think we can ferret out the news. There's a big web out there, and most of us have had considerable practice at debunking the Liberal crap.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

It could be the following:


1. Their true colors have been shown.
2. They want Hillary to win (I still think she can beat Trump), so they can peddle gloom and doom
3. They wanted Trump cause he is an entertainment figure.. Entertainment figures get the most attention..

I still check Drudge at least once a day. It's been frustrating to see his Pro-Trump posting, but he does post a lot of interesting stuff.

Let's not forget he was the one responsible for Clinton's misbehavior becoming public knowledge and I remember he left Fox because he refused to tone down his Pro-Life beliefs. IOW, he's not all bad. He's wrong about Trump, but after this is over we want him to come back to conservatism.
