“Update after listening to the whole thing: these guys know who the current editor is, they never reveal or hint who it is, they know that Drudge is largely hands-off and always intended to be. And yet they have no idea why the tone change? (And it makes sense. It’s not that “Drudge” is anti-trump like you keep saying - the whole site made a TONE shift around 2018/2019). Does Drudge ultimately sign off on it? Sure- he hasn’t fired the editor, that’s true. This podcast is really more a biography - they had no intention of actually “finding” Drudge - If I were Drudge, I certainly wouldn’t want to be interviewed after you revealed a lot of details - some of which would make me look rather petty.
I’ve always thought this would be a fascinating topic. He has been spotted and photographed within the last 10 years. I truly believe Ann Coulter would be a good interview to find out more - they’re known to be close. But regarding the Drudge Report - it’s more than him turning on Trump. It’s him turning on everything he claimed to value. Someone should run an ai analysis to evaluate the difference in tone, quality and content of his headlines between today and 10 years ago. It all feels completely different.”
