It’s not clear, however, if Matt Drudge is still the owner, or involved on a daily basis. It’s clear that Drudge Report is no longer a booster of Trump, who has called the website “fake news” this year although it has been credited with helping him get elected in 2016. And as far back as 2006, the website founded by Matt Drudge has been seen as powerhouse of Republican support, with ABC News reporting that year that “Drudge Report sets the tone for national political coverage.” If so, it would be a remarkable change, given that a subset of Americans called “ Fox News Republicans” have been the president’s most loyal supporters. Have Drudge and Fox, like voters in Georgia, turned blue, or at least faint purple? Meanwhile Fox News, long seen as a booster of conservatism, has become a target of the president, who cheers every decline in ratings and is rumored to be considering starting a media company that would compete with Fox. Once a reliable place to find unflattering photos of Hillary Clinton, the news aggregator Drudge Report mocked both President Donald Trump and his attorney Rudy Giuliani in recent weeks.
