So what's going on? Anyone who's been following Drudge for the last 25 years (!) has noticed an editorial shift at the site over the last year or so, with the aggregator regularly dropping the hammer on Trump, focusing on negative news about the president—especially as it relates to the Meuller report and impeachment proceedings—and increasingly linking to mainstream media outlets.
Last fall, when I included the Drudge Report in my "Top Conservative Websites" list, the comments section filled up with sentiments like this:

Last fall, when I included the Drudge Report in my "Top Conservative Websites" list, the comments section filled up with sentiments like this:
- Drudge has turned. Conservativism is right, true, correct and need never apologize. Wishy, washy tweeters need not apply.
- Drudge? This surprised me because Matt is only using liberal sites for his "news." Liberty Daily is the only conservative game in town for agragators [sic].
- As conservative you know PJ can't be trusted more so when Drudge listed as #1. Drudge has been a far left liberal site for the last year if not longer.
- Drudge is NOT a conservative site. He sold out to "the clicks" back around the time Messiah Obama was inaugurated. He's rooting on Mueller and praying for an economic downturn (at least according to the items he links).
- Drudge? Conservative? Sold out, really. Phoning it in, misspellings, weird emphasis on Las Vegas news (does he live there?) I try not to check it, but it's informative to see what narratives are being promoted to the mainstream.
