Matt Drudge’s site is taking a beating.
After he went anti-Trump, conservatives began leaving his site in droves.
Drudge was posting a slew of links attacking President Trump, which left many people wondering what the heck happened – he was such a staunch supporter of Trump back in 2016.
It’s still unclear, but one reporter who knocked on his door did get some kind of answer.

When asked what happened and why he was not supporting Trump anymore, Matt responded by brushing it off saying, “that was three years ago.”
So, clearly, he’s moved on…and you should too.
Now, apparently, Drudge has backed off the “anti-Trump” nonsense, likely to try and stop the hemorrhaging.
But it’s too little too late for Mr. Drudge.
It’s been well-documented that Matt Drudge, the king of American news aggregation, has flipped his tune about President Trump over the last couple of years. Signs of souring to the President were evident within days of his historic victory. Some have speculated he was and still is a Bernie Sanders supporter, that he feigned support for candidate Trump because he was getting massive traffic as a result and didn’t believe he’d actually win. Others take it a step further by saying he wanted Trump to win in 2016 so Bernie would have another shot in 2020. There’s even speculation he’s been bought out or blackmailed into turning against the President. Considering how reclusive he is, we’ll likely never know the truth.
What we do know is the audience that supports the President has been leaving Drudge Report for months. In just the last six, they’ve hemorrhaged nearly 30% of their traffic as over 20 million visitors have sought redder pastures like The Liberty Daily, Whatfinger, 63red, Gab Trends, and Rantingly. Even Fox News contributor Dan Bongino has put out a Drudge competitor, though so far it has been a disappointment as it pulls exclusively from vanilla corporate media sources that one can get from a Republican establishment feedreader.
For now, Drudge Report is only dipping its toe into election politics to promote Sanders or bash his competitors, preferring to focus on offbeat news and conspiracy theories. It will be interesting to see what tune they play if Sanders gets the nomination. Will Matt Drudge reveal himself as a full-blown socialist? [NoQReport [2]]
There is no need for conservatives to visit Drudge Report. There is an endless array of good conservative aggregators out there that you can use.
Please don’t give this traitor clicks. He hasn’t earned that from you.
