Drudge Is A Sell-Out!
November 3, 2019

I started noticing that the Drudge Report has become an "anti-Trump" propagation site. Like others, I have been a faithful reader of Drudge for over Twenty years. Not anymore!

A balance site
November 5, 2019

One of the best. In this age of news from the bizarre to real news this page tries to give a somewhat balance between the two fringes from a conservative point of view.

I have visited drudge report thousands of times over the past many years and very recently the website completely changed it stands of honest and unbiased reporting to completely one sided and anti-Trump. Don't trust any links or articles to the leftist media propaganda machine.

Fair and Ballanced...
October 26, 2019

Drudge reporting aka Doom and Gloom News is about as fair and balanced as MSNBC, CNN or any other left wing hack reporting site. Unbelievable what has happened to Drudge Reporting. Lost me forever... see ya

Lost his way...
October 20, 2019

Drudge for well over a decade used to be a great one stop shop for the days news headlines, and I used to stop by the site a few times a day as it was a lot easier than traversing the web for the latest headlines when time was short and I was busy.
The past few months however, the site has really turned into basically a never-trump version of the national inquirer. Quite sad really. Oh well, at least we all know in brilliant colours which way Matt Drudge now swings. He never should have sold out this way. It's almost as bad as the recent pandering to China everybody is doing. Or worse, how everyone is follow the NWO and UN agendas for pronouns, climate change, and many other rather insane programs. Oh well, there are a number of other choices out there nowadays thankfully, and that's where I'll be getting my news from for now on.

Like many others, I used to go to the Drudge Report faithfully several times per day, because it grabbed all of the day's headlines and linked to the stories, all from that one spot. Today, it seems to be not much more than a consolidator for all of the never-Trump stories and any AI stories. Too bad.

Matt Drudge is a sellout and at first was just trying hard to put negative links up to get Trump's attention. Trump has out-smarted Drudge and just ignored him and Drudge in return showed us his true colors. Oh Well Drudge is Dead.

Drudge report is over
October 6, 2019

I used to use the Drudge Report for Many Many years now. But! Disgusting! Drudge used to report news. No more, the last few months all he's doing is promoting the Liberal agenda, All see it Matt! He became a Liberal puppet... its time for a new real news source... I hope we can still find one.

I will not use Drudge Report and I hope millions of American patriots will do the same.

Used to always go to Drudge first thing every morning; no more. For past few months in particular it seems Report has only highlighted Liberal talking points. Depressing, and I now go to Breitbart and Whatfinger and seldom check Drudge any more.

I use to love it
June 24, 2019

Use to love the site, but the doom and gloom on 50 to 60 percent of the articles is not the way to start the day. And every site has tons of pop ups. My anti virus is always blocking me from some of them and have it set to medium control. I would love to see his net worth. Made a fortune on just having a link to various sites.

In our politically correct USA its impossible to find something decent and independent--its all about money and power. As a reader I value info that help me survive instead Drudge feeds me news from Ivory Tower like recent PrimaRosa or special counsel--do I care?--no. Or, trying to connect me to socialistic/communistic junk where in addition to paying I have to be brainwashed.

There seems to be a trend and it's easy to spot. Drudge used to be good until Clinton's wanted to shut them down and it seems like somebody did, and they are under new ownership posting the most obvious fake stories.

Worst site ever!
May 17, 2018

I would love to be able to read news without non stop pop ups, ridiculous add and videos and the non stop of random closing of the app. Horrible app and news articles are ridiculous also.

Drudge aggregates lots of other sites and gives you a snapshot of what is important and happening all over thew world. I read the negative reviews and they eem to be politically inspired, which has nothing to do with the site! Highly recommend.

I wish this site was less ALT-RIGHT in their preference for articles. It's soooooo glaringly obvious. I go to see what general main things are happening and then there's general interest stuff. Sprinkled in there are promotions of FOX News and ALT-RIGHT stuff that makes it very obvious what they are truly selling.

Stop listing articles that can't be accessed without a paid subscription like the numerous NY Times articles you list on top of aggravating pop up ads

I've been a Drudge viewer for many years. I'm to the point of finding another source of news due to his continued links to paid websites. I can almost guarantee with 99% certainty that The Washington Post, Bloomberg, etc... are all paying Drudge to link to their stories.

Its extremely annoying with all the pop ups and news articles wanting you to sign up/on to their news organization before you can read the article. Been with Drudge many years but now looking into another site to get the news.

I visit DrudgeReport every day, multiple times to check for the latest in world news. The site loads quickly and just works. It is well balanced as it seems to link everywhere.
I am knocking 1/2 star off for linking to the New York Times and 1/2 star off for not having a mobile device friendly site.
