Ever since PJ’s own managing editor, Paula Bolyard, gave ur-blogger Matt Drudge a virtual black eye, I’ve made it a point to visit the Drudge Report once or twice a week, just to keep an eye on lefty cray-cray over there. Today was one of those Drudge days and — as happens almost without fail — I found a cringeworthy instance of the site’s increasingly laughable lefty bias.

Before I get to that, here’s a quick history of the Drudge Report as a news junky’s go-to site.
Since the invention of tabbed browsing almost 20 years ago, I must have spent more than a dozen of them with one browser tab permanently devoted to Drudge. Before then, his site was a more-than-daily visit from the time he broke the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky story that Newsweek had tried to bury. Long before the mainstream media had social media giants to help them hide dirty laundry like Hunter Biden’s Laptop from Hell or peddle fiction like Donald Trump’s Russia collusion, bloggers like Drudge were able to hold the MSM to account.
The job falls to sites like PJ Media now and, as someone who has been with the company since its 2005 launch, I’m fine with that.
I closed Drudge’s perma-tab early in 2016. He was pushing Trump so hard, to the detriment of every other story that concerned me, that for the first time since 1998, there was no point in visiting even once a day. Three years later, I read that the Drudge Report had swung so hard and so fast in the other direction that the constant anti-Trump links — usually highlighted in red, often with the famous animated police siren GIF — that I had to see it with my own eyes.
After a week, I was cured and the perma-tab was closed permanently.
But imagine that: Going from Trump to anti-Trump in nothing flat and pretending that nothing had changed.
