What is up with the Drudge Report lately - they've done a full 180 ?!!

[Pluvious]

There's gotta be a story behind this counter conservative new image.

Haven't they been one of the biggest purveyors of RW memes and rumors over the years ?

1. yeah i read last year something about them going more anti trump*

..I guess even they have limits.

2. I have been reading that page for many years...

I like the way he gathers the hot links from juicy stories in one spot. When they were all solidly right wing I still liked it because it gave me an idea of what the hot topic my right wing friends were going to be hooked on.

So I don’t know what happened but it seemed like sometime in 2017 he flipped his script; Trump did SOMETHING that turned him off badly enough his headlines changed. I’m talking back to kids in cages, Drudge was highlighting all that.

3. He's just upset that Donnie hasn't done enough for the right wing.

Seriously.

He's upset that Donnie hasn't actually made more progress on the wall and hasn't brought the Chinese to their knees in the trade war.

5. No, this goes back to the beginning of the admin...

It’s not an Anne Coulter type of frustration. Something else happened.

6. I know some in the RW think...

They claim it’s really about Trumps anti-gay policies. I mean normal people understood he was a liar when he said he didn’t care about any of that while campaigning... but some believe Drudge actually bought it. I see this whenever I troll FR- every time his name comes up the anger comes out and the gay slurs begin.

4. I think Drudge has always been anti Trump

[Agschmid]

14. Yup.

[BainsBane]

7. They want Trump to resign

so Pence can run for president.

[Adsos Letter]

11. This.

[empedocles]

8. Seems that it's the rw that has people leaning away, even defecting

[Its possible and certainly would like to see a big, momentous, break away from trump - before November]

9. When I was googling this story .....

I ran across a headline saying the Drudge website had been sold. I have no idea if this is true or not because I didn't follow up on that link since that's not what I was looking for.

10. Its the Rats jumping ship now

They all see the slow moving Titanic crash coming, Trumper will soon be like George Wallace voters he will deny they ever support him...

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

12. Supposedly Matt Drudge sold the site

Like a year or two ago.

13. Yes, I'd like to know the story behind this 180 by drudge.
