Former Drudge Report Editor Launches Conservative Alternative

The Drudge Report, that longtime haven for conservative news and wacky headlines on the internet, has gone lamestream, and many conservatives have launched new platforms to replace the gaping hole it has left behind.

Even a former editor of the Drudge Report, Joseph Curl, has stepped up to resurrect the Drudge spirit. On Tuesday, Curl announced the launch of Off The Press, a conservative-oriented aggregator that he says will have a “fearless attitude” toward covering “everything for those who devour news all day,” Just the News reported.

Curl intends for Off The Press to be a premier, 24/7 news aggregator that consumers can trust. He said the Drudge Report has become just another echo chamber for the legacy media.

Paul Bedard, “Washington Secrets” columnist for The Washington Examiner, will join Curl at Off The Press.

Although the news site’s perspective will be mainly conservative, Off The Press will also include coverage from all political angles, keeping voters aware of developments from the Left and the Right — and everywhere in between. While the site will include all kinds of news topics, Curl has pledged to avoid some of the more wacky topics that have long been a signature of The Drudge Report.

I started using DR as a go-to back when it was mainly original content. However, when it went uncritically full-TDS I was gone. I've been using Bongino Report and Just The News instead for some time. I'll be checking out Off The Press.

The former editor of the Drudge Report, Joseph Curl, announced Tuesday the launch of Off The Press, a conservative-oriented aggregator that he says will have a "fearless attitude" toward covering "everything for those who devour news all day."

Curl says the marketplace is ripe for a premier, 24/7 news aggregator that consumers can trust, with the Drudge Report having become just another echo chamber for the mainstream media. 

"Now more than ever, keeping up with the most important stories is a battle," Curl says. "With social media deluging everyone with endless posts on their news feeds, the internet needs an editor to cull the very best stories and present them on a single site. That will be the sole mission of Off The Press."

I went through Bongino Report, Just The News, and Off The Press, the latter for the first time. I think all three will work for me - OTP being the only one of the three I've not frequented before. OTP seemed a little less political, but in breadth of news topic rather than minimizing political stuff. So far so good for OTP, for my tastes at least.

This is Curl's second attempt at such a service. Right Read was launched in 2015—and quietly folded not too long after.
