The Drudge Report (stylized in all caps as DRUDGE REPORT) is a U.S.-based news aggregation website founded by Matt Drudge,[4] and run with the help of Charles Hurt[2] and Daniel Halper.[5] The site was generally regarded as a conservative[6][7][8] publication, though its ownership and political leanings have been questioned following business model changes in mid-to-late 2019.[9] The site consists mainly of links to news stories from other outlets about politics, entertainment, and current events; it also has links to many columnists.
