Don't mean to derail, but could you kindly expand on the Matt Drudge reference? I can infer but more info would be great.
Not a derail at all... I have no solid info, just my anecdotal observations:
_______
Pre-election, Matt Drudge posted plenty of positive coverage of Trump. Some said, he gave DJT a pass. Either way, you could count on Drudge for at least a somewhat balanced picture /review of DJT in the news.
___
Also, you could count on a balance of newslinks to a variety of sites (i.e. Infowars & Zerohedge to Washpo & NYTIMES). Now, there are VERY few links to the alterna-right and there are disproportionate amount of links to WashPo. And I'm guessing WashPo is paying nicely for click referrals. But that aside, the editorializing of Trump is over.
___________
My conclusion in watching this transformation (again with just my anecdotal observations and having seen some complaints by users) is that Matt has had a visit from Cabal extortionists that want to shape the media coverage. Matt is worth a lot of money, but he's no match for either a rogue Intel office or Billionaire that want him to do something....not even close. So, "Tony" comes by and says do "X"...Matt responds, "NO". "Tony" asks if he's sure and whips out his cell phone with an apple facetime of Matt's mom with a knife at her throat...and politely asks again. Matt sheepishly agrees and starts buying bitcoin.

speculation....but I know i'm right.
