Matt Drudge, or whoever is running the Drudge Report nowadays, launched a vicious fake news attack on President Trump early this afternoon, implying that President Trump had a mini-stroke and that his leg was dragging all over the place.

It is not entirely clear what the heck has happened to Matt Drudge, but many have speculated that he sold the site. In any case, this is the first time we have seen the Drudge Report resort to outright Fake News to try to push the official “resistance” agenda.

From BizPacReview:

“What happened to Matt Drudge?” Carlson asked, introducing Lysiak, author of the new book, “The Drudge Revolution,” which will be released next week.

The biographer suggested that the turnaround could be an economic decision — Drudge figuring he can make more money bashing the president rather than backing him for reelection.

“I think one of the mistakes a lot of people have when they’re trying to analyze Matt Drudge is they try looking at him strictly through a political sphere,” the biographer said.

“The reality is…his loyalty isn’t any political party or ideas, it’s just to his website,” Lysiak added.

“For example, this great part of my book where, in 2008, Andrew Breitbart at the time was the editor of The Drudge Report. And he becomes absolutely convinced that Matt is trying to steer coverage in a favorable way to then-Sen. Barack Obama,” Lysiak continued.

“So, he at some point contacted Matt and says, you know, ‘what’s up?’ Matt responds, ‘You know, a Barack Obama presidency might be terrible for the country, but it sure would be great for my website.”

He went on to note that he couldn’t think of many other web aggregators or publishers who did better during the eight years of the Obama presidency than Drudge, adding that “his net wealth is estimated at over $100 million.”

Thus, Lysiak continued, he believes that Drudge’s change-up in content fits the previous mold during the run-up to Obama’s eventual presidency.

“It’s more about his bottom line than anything else,” the biographer said. [BizPacReview]
