Drudge Report Alternative?
Is there any alternative out there to The Drudge Report that will be a little more balanced that what Drudge is doing?

He seems to have gone full anti-Trump lately with links to news only negative for the President and his administration.

I'm about done with that, where else can I go to see news aggregated on one page?

Eliminated Drudge from my daily news search not long ago, everything on there is designed to antagonize in some form...

Don't have an alternative per se, I've pretty much tuned out the news altogether, yeah Mark Twain says if you don't read the news you are uninformed and if you do you are misinformed LOL

I say my BP is down, the miles on my bike are up, and stress is reduced.

I visit dailywire.com. Ben Shapiro is editor. It's not specifically a pro-Trump site, but IMO they give credit where they think it's due, regularly.

Drudge has been awful. I never saw the attraction. A bunch of collected links interspersed with clicy-bait links.

Why people every went there, I have no idea.

I roll through all the news websites, then usually DailyWire and some others.

OANN is ok, but they are always hours, if not days behind the news.

Twitter is also good if you follow the correct people and can sort the wheat from the chaff.

It didn't used to be that bad.
And it was the original (and only) news aggregator. There are now many alternatives.
Matt Drudge made his mark, now he's laughing all the way to the bank.

The Morning Report - from Ace provides a list of links "from around the world, across the nation and up your street"... every morning.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

I don't visit Drudge these days.
He's become an anti Trumper.

www.whatfinger.com is good, though slightly right of center.

You might like Lucianne.com

But the best stuff is intellectual, polite debate and policy focused discussion (not hyping you to take bait) on YouTube like:

Hoover institute (Stanford); https://youtu.be/cdBn7MUM3Yo

Or SecDef Gen. Mattis; https://youtu.be/XJzveXmGh0U

Or any Thomas Sowell, Steven Myer, Dr David Berlinski, VDH, Rob Rubin, etc. nice thing about YouTube is after a few listens/views of these sources, you get good suggestions for more content.

Has anyone tried Smart News? I've started seeing ads for it on FNC. They tout themselves as giving you fair and equal news from both sides. I have yet to download the app.

Thanks everyone!

Drudge is gone.

I also like ZeroHedge, it's a lot of business/market news but also a lot of political stuff too.

Like Drudge, but without the anti-Trump bias. It has replaced Drudge in my list of sites to hit in the morning.

He absolutely has and with the GOP in general. I've been trying to transition to other sites. Every day there is a story about how they are going to lose the House and last night he linked a story talking about President Trump's "falling approval numbers".

Not a news aggregator, but quillette.com provides excellent, deep dive, well reasoned articles on current social/cultural topics, minus the mandatory leftist ideology injection so common in most other "high-brow" publications.

You want to praise him for having one or two good stories a day surrounded by a bunch of negative crap? You are out in left field if you haven't noticed the entire tone of his site has changed.

Praise? You need to read my post again.
