President Trump sniped at Matt Drudge Saturday, saying people are “dropping off like flies,” from his website. CNN seems caught up by the fact that he didn’t present evidence, but evidence is hardly necessary. President Trump was probably referring to conservatives dropping off. A lot of conservatives have dropped Drudge’s aggregate, but he has the leftists at CNN driving traffic to him.
He picked up a different crowd — leftists and other never Trumpers.
Trump retweeted an attack from a far-right blogger who argued Drudge’s coverage of the coronavirus has been misleading and sensationalistic. “I gave up on Drudge (a really nice guy) long ago, as have many others,” Trump commented. “People are dropping like flies!”

Drudge is a turncoat, and now supports the far-left who want to take away our liberties. He’s a fraud. Some say he has sold the publication to a foreign entity. Who knows, but whatever it is, he is exposed as betraying his alleged beliefs.

Drudge made his fortune pretending to be conservative. Now he can do what he wants so he turned, as have so many media sources over the years. FOX is doing it now. His site has always been junk. The design is awful. He uses hype. His links are to leftist and establishment sites. Drudge’s site contains no original information. This… Read more »
My sentiment exactly. I never could get into this character.
The CCP operates through Soros and Bloomberg and others of their ilk.
