What's Going on With Drudge? Rasmussen Claims 'Matt's Not There Anymore...Word Is He Sold'

[PJ] "What happened to Drudge?"A lot of people have been asking that question lately. If you talk to conservatives these days, you'll hear that Matt Drudge's eponymous news aggregation site has gone over to the dark side‐that Matt's joined the anti-Trump resistance. And now, Rasmussen Reports, an arguably reputable polling operation, is calling Drudge out on Twitter, even suggesting that the site has been sold.

The whole kerfuffle appears to have begun at the end of November, when the Bongino Report, touted as a Trump-friendly alternative to Drudge, launched. Bongino taunted Drudge with a pair of tweets:

#1 Oh well. It's the end of an era. Remember the Drudge Report was the outlet that broke the Monica Lewinsky scandal. This absolutely enraged the media, who not only thought that they should have been the ones to break the story, but that they should have had the decision to break or bury the story.

And seeing what they did with the Epstein story, burying it in 2015 to protect Bill because Hillary was going to run in 2016, thank God bloggers were there to do it.

#4 More and more like clickbait and links to UK media with crap stories about aliens. Clearly more focus on ad revenue Clearly Matt isn’t involved at any editorial level and he was a groundbreaking leader in bypassing the legacy media. Hope he made a bundle and doesn’t look back. Entropy at work now.
