Can someone explain something to me?
I have a serious question. It's been blatantly obvious for a while that Matt Drudge is an anti-Trumper.
How exactly did that come about? I feel like I missed something somewhere along the lines. I just don't understand how some "republicans" are so anti-Trump that they're willing to sell out for the far-left.
Mind blowing.

Drudge sold his URL. Libs bought it.
There will never be another "blue dress" news item from that once great website.

Ahhhh. Thanks. I had no idea that sale occurred. That's rather unfortunate, but it explains the non-stop Trump hatred on that site. Again, weird that he's okay selling out for the left by allowing them to use his name. That's what makes me sick about a bunch of RINOs. They're all perfectly fine making their bucks selling out and don't understand why people hate them for it.

RE: Can someone explain something to me?
For over 20 years, DrudgeReport earned global fame/influence and became one of the most-visited websites in the world by highlighting the stories that Mainstream Media wanted to ignore. And then, for reasons that I have never heard explained, DrudgeReport started ignoring those stories, too, and started generally parroting the same sort of approach as HuffPost or the NYTimes. What prompted this change? No idea. Drudge himself has a reputation for reclusiveness that has earned him (both before and after he “switched sides”) comparisons to Howard Hughes.
Some people say it is the result of a personal feud with Trump. I suppose that’s possible. My own guess is that there is something deeper at work, and that DrudgeReport will continue to serve as a pro-Left/Democrat source of information long after Trump’s presidency is over. We shall see.

RE: Can someone explain something to me?
Selling the URL (if that’s what happened) doesn’t fully explain it, imho. He still had a choice of who to sell it to. I don’t believe he suddenly “found out” after the sale that the new people had polar-opposite viewpoints from the audience that Drudge developed over 25 years

Once Trump is gone those media outlets large and small will go out of business due to a lack of material. What else do they talk about.

No, I don't believe they will. They'll go on a "positive news" streak like something we've never seen before. Especially if the Dems get another clean sweep of the Executive and Legislative branches. Media is going to go on a tear, glorifying the left and pinning any negatives on Trump supporters and all others that consider themselves conservatives. There will be no prisoners. They're going on a retribution spree, and the left's base will revel in it.

1. Biden is NOT far left.
2. #ETTD, he's a cancer.

Glad you came here to defend Biden even though he wasn't mentioned. Good job.

Google bought the controlling stake.
Drudge cashed out and the left is running it and slowly switching aides.
