My Take
Matt Drudge fascinates me as a genuine inflection point in media history. Long before social feeds and citizen journalism, this Maryland-born outsider proved that one person with a website could redirect the entire national conversation. I don't always agree with where the Drudge Report has pointed, but I can't deny its significance: it dismantled the gatekeeping monopoly of legacy newsrooms and previewed the chaotic, decentralized media world we now inhabit. To me, Drudge is less a journalist in the classic sense than a forerunner, someone who saw the disruptive power of the internet earlier and more clearly than almost anyone else.
