I rarely visit the Drudge Report, but i noticed earlier ...

that Drudge no longer carries links to RedState, the Gateway Pundit (hosted by the Dumbest Man On The Internet, Jim Hoft), Lucianne.com (from the execrable Lucianne Goldberg, of Linda Tripp fame), and finally, Free Republic (owned and operated by long-time DU favorite and all-around douchenozzle Jim (Rimjob) Robinson).

It seems that, unlike most Republican Senators, there are levels to which even Matt Drudge will not sink.

In the last few years. I don't think there has been any public explanation by Drudge. He has definitely evolved.

to be considered respectable by people he aspired to associate with. As he grew older also. Just looked. He's 54 now, a typical mellowing age.

the former guy have blasted Drudge as a tool of the left. Of course, that means little.

No one knows for sure what the story is, though

Sludge always had his page columns sortof divided up and grouped into "left" "right, and "centrist" in terms of the story's content and/or the source's political leanings, from all the different news/blog sites that he linked to.

I hadn't popped over there in a long time but used to check the site out for years to see what clickbait gossipy headline he had with the infamous -





Just popped over there now and he still has Zombie Breitfart linked (I guess because the zombie was his original BFF) as well as InfoWars (I thought that had been shut down or maybe they are still going without the lunatic Alex Jones) and Newsmax. Also suprised that Townhall.com isn't there considering they were the original annoying Republican site (I guess they would be considered RINOs nowadays ).
