How Mainstream Is Drudge Report
I've been browsing Drudge Report from time to time for their more "independant" news reporting, and I've seen a lot of people referring to this website as a good one.

My question is: how mainstream is this website. Do regular folks browse it, or is it simply a good alternative media?

Could we label this as internet MSM?

Sorry, I'm from Canada that may be why I'm not aware of this yet. Thank you!

Re: How Mainstream Is Drudge Report
Drudge is a huge player in the internet media. He has a decidedly conservative slant.

He gained his fame for breaking the Monica Lewinsky scandal. He rarely breaks news these days.

Instead, he reports on what is being reported elsewhere.

He is said to have inside contacts at virtually every major media outlet in the US.

CNN and FOX reporters will reference Drudge when asking questions about extremist headlines about someone, something, etc.

He's about as anti-establishment as Rush Limbaugh.
