dHow much is BretBarf/Drudge still quoted on TV news?

I remember that he was the go to guy blog for Fox, CNN and sometimes MSNBC.

Now When I check the Drudge report most of the lying headlines are combined with the statement:

'and the media doesn't pay attention'........LOL

I don't have a TV but it seems since he died, the site doesn't have the power that it once did. Of course he got invited to appear on all the News channels. I'm just curious on which right wing site is on top
of the news pundits list now?


Besides Politico whose getting the airtime these days?

thanks.

Among other things, Breitbart actually created content, sickening mendacious content, but content it was. Drudge Report is just an aggregator that sticks new headlines on stories from other places, so while you can always 'cite' Drudge as where you found it, there are very few words actually written by Matt Drudge, so he's never been 'quoted' much at all.
