G*d, I hate Matt Drudge

He has poisoned our discourse for years.

And he thinks he is so cute.

He has gone "all in" for Trump.

I want his head on the proverbial stick, proverbially.

I want him to have no influence on our politics.

He cozies up to our enemies, to Russia.

I just really don't like him.

This was for Hurricane Matthew. He was telling people that the warnings were hyped because certain early readings did not reach predictions. Meteorologists explained that this is to be expected. Drudge seemed to think it was some kind of conspiracy (maybe related to the election?). I'm sure some people stayed behind because of him.

He cheer-leaded for the Iraq war. All of that blood is on his hands.

I can't even put into words how much I truly h@te Drudge.

The guy's a f@cking fraud!

He claimed that it was a left-wing conspiracy to scare Floridians into believing in climate change. Rush Limbaugh did this, too. They are both scum with blood on their hands, IMO.

On October 3, 2016, Drudge Report published a story falsely claiming that Bill Clinton had an illegitimate child, an allegation that Drudge Report itself had debunked in 1999. -- Vox

It's a trashy and tacky website. Like Free Republic, it hasn't been updated in decades. And for the most part, he doesn't do any reporting himself, he just links to others who do the hard work.

The "headlines" on his page are simply links to other reporters' work and often the story doesn't support his headline. He's a shallow sensationalist.

There are better sites with more reliable news. Don't give him your hard-earned clicks!

Calling Bill a rapist and claiming he was getting blow jobs in the White House. Pathetic.

is that he cares about animal welfare.

Other than that he posts every God awful thing about Obama and the Clintons that he can find.

I read him because I like to keep up on the Right arguments every day.
