> The Drudge Report, once the online town crier of the right-wing bubble, now pales in comparison to the likes of Gateway Pundit. Drudge links to so many mainstream media outlets, such as the Associated Press and Reuters, and to enough Trump-skeptical content that on day two I deemed it contrary to the spirit of the simulation and blacklisted it lest I fall down the rabbit hole of facts, truth, and sanity.
Now I might not believe 1% of what I read on The Daily Beast, or Vox, or whatever, but I would never call for them to be defunded or de-platformed.
- wyclif 6y agoAnother thing about Drudge is that he was never a Trump guy, he was a Romney guy. Now that Romney is a senator none of that matters, and Drudge has retrenched as mainstream Right news aggregator.
