I strongly disagree with Drudge's politics and sensationalism, but I've been a long time regular visitor just because of the layout and design.

And I've always assumed he used the secondary sources (including shady ones) to avoid paywalls.

Isn’t this effectively sending your friend a torrent link to a pirated game so they can avoid paying for it? NYT oughta sue for this.

You'd think a "long time regular visitor" of the site would notice that lately it's been indistinguishable from the Huffington Post.

If you like that layout, citizenfreepress is significantly better, it _appears_ Matt sold the site long ago.
