Good Riddance To Drudge

Original Article

Posted By: JayD, 7/30/2020 9:33:37 AM

It used to be a thrill for conservatives to get “Drudged” – to have their piece linked on the Drudge Report. It meant traffic (which translated into money) and that a large audience would see it. It probably still means those things, only now it means them to progressive writers and websites. Whatever Drudge was, it’s not anymore. ...snip... Aside from his love of weather porn, Tom Brady, and anything Oprah or transgender-related, you might as well go to CNN. At least with CNN you’re getting it from the primary source.

Comments:

There is no way Drudge is getting the same number of eyes as in the past. The only reason his numbers remain high is the annoying auto-refresh. I happily left that site behind years ago.

I used to check Drudge multiple times a day. It was my second go-to (after this site) every morning. I took it off my bookmarks and haven't checked it in months. Aside from the anti-Trump stuff, it is a downer. Drudge revels in stock market dips, corona virus deaths, negative poll numbers. I don't need that in my life.

Liberty Daily, Beige Page, Bongino Report, and several others are now doing the work Drudge used to do. Farewell and good riddance, Drudge. I used to visit several times a day, but I haven't visited for months now.

Twenty+ years ago, a newcomer to internet news, I used Drudge as an index to interesting sites. That is how I found Lucianne. Left him long ago when I realized he was going to the Other Side and that I no longer needed an index.

Only went to Drudge a few times. Didn't see the use in it. It was basically just a list of links. I had already found Lucianne which always provided the first paragraph of each article. Viola, no need for Drudge. Lucianne provides much more info.

FTA: "Aside from his love of weather porn, Tom Brady, and anything Oprah or transgender-related, you might as well go to CNN." Hunter left out sex dolls. Everything I know about the sex doll industry (and it is TMI), I learned from articles linked by Drudge. At first, it was a window on a unknown world. After a while, it was downright creepy.

I originally went to drudge for the easy to parse links and would use it to browse through my favorite writers, maybe check out a link or three of interest that he posted. Nowadays, going there is simply... disgusting. I have links to my favorite authors in my favorites list and I've dropped drudge like a rock in a mud-pit. Splotches! Outa sight, outa mind.

Losing Rush has been tough. Until a few very long weeks ago, he was always in my life. Like other siblings growing up in the same home, we shared experiences that were exclusive to us. Our parents instilled in us -- and we thoroughly absorbed -- their Christian values: their love of God; their unconditional love for each other and for us; their belief in moral absolutes, of truth, of right and wrong; the paramount importance of family; the critical necessity of personal character and integrity; the value of human life; and the uncompromising duty to treat others with respect and compassion.

By now, everyone recognizes Dr. Anthony Fauci. The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases is one of the most cited immunology researchers of all time and unquestionably one of the most acclaimed.[snip] However, our elected representatives, the public and the media misunderstand his focused role and even his expertise as a scientist. Basic science underlying a viral pandemic is absolutely critical. But now is the time for the design of sound public policy — and that involves a far broader formulation than a single-minded focus on stopping COVID-19 at all costs.

After Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton called for her “immediate release,” Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said will be covering a fine owed by Dallas salon owner Shelley Luther, who is currently serving a seven-day jail sentence. Luther, owner of Salon A La Mode, was sentenced Tuesday after judge Eric Moye said she violated statewide stay-at-home orders when she reopened her business nearly two weeks ago. She also publicly tore up a cease-and-desist letter from Dallas County that ordered her to close. Luther was also ordered to pay a fine of $3,500 along with $500 per day that her salon is open until Friday, May 8.

Prince Harry is preparing to return to the UK for the first time since leaving Royal duties after the death of Prince Philip - but questions remain over whether Meghan will join him. Harry's grandfather's death comes weeks after they gave an interview to Oprah alleging racism in the Royal Family which aired while Philip was in hospital. The Sussexes, who faced calls to postpone the interview because Philip was unwell, accused an unnamed royal, not the Queen nor the duke, of raising concerns about how dark their son Archie's skin tone would be before he was born.

A report from NewsBusters reveals that the Aspen Institute Commission on Information is being funded by left-wing billionaires Bill Gates and George Soros, among others, to “fight ‘mis- and disinformation.’” The Aspen Institute features Katie Couric, a seasoned corporate media mouthpiece, as its co-chair. The Newsbusters report notes that “Couric recently suggested during a segment with HBO host Bill Maher that ‘we’ should ‘deprogram’ people within former President Donald Trump’s cult.’” Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency Director Chris Krebs is another co-chair of the Aspen Institute.

Stanford University researchers have identified five new cases of a “double mutant” Covid-19 strain that was recently discovered in the San Francisco Bay Area. Doctors suspect it could be more contagious than earlier strains and may be resistant to existing vaccines. The new variant originated in India where it’s credited with a recent 55% surge in cases in the state of Maharashtra, home to Mumbai, after months of declining cases. It contains two key mutations, which scientists call E484Q and L452R, that have been found separately in other variants but not together in a single strain, according to Dr. Benjamin

Princeton is selecting fewer white students every year and now takes more non-white applicants than any other Ivy League school, new data from the university has revealed. Princeton announced on Thursday that it had sent letters out to its class of 2025. The successful applicants will learn by 7pm EST if they've got a place or not. More than 37,600 applied and 1,498 were selected. Of them, 68 percent - 1,018 - 'self-identify' as people of color. The school did not separate among that group how many are black, Hispanic, Asian or any other race, leaving 32 percent - 479 students - to 'self-identity' as white.
