Drudge Report A Victim Of ADHD Society?

November 11th 2009 03:10
Is it just me or does it seem that Matt Drudge doesn't update his site as often lately? Could it be that he is fighting some burnout from having to keep a lookout on breaking news for years now? Imagine what would happen if a huge world event occurred and it wasn't splashed across his website? For years my first stop in the morning was to his site. If he proclaimed that the world was still turning, then I got up to take my rightful place in it.

Or could it be that The Drudge Report is exactly the same and we have changed? Maybe DVRs, Blackberries, and netbooks have sped up our lives so much that one guy updating a single website in his underwear moves way too slow in our Twittered world.

Of course he can't compete with the mega political websites like Huffington Post and National Review Online who have hundreds of employees and several bloggers, so what could be the future for the man who invented citizen journalism? he could always come back to radio. I miss his show and wish he would look into bringing it back to satellite radio. He could always write a new book or bring in a whole team of bloggers to post to his site or sellout to corporations and hype the next blockbuster or fall fashion line. I think a good first step would be to allow comments on his page and make it more interactive. People would spend longer on his site and hopefully engage in a spirited debate. It could be a place where liberals and conservatives could square off. Too many sites now are too one sided and it gets boring seeing "I agree with every other comment posted here" remarks.

If the critics from the New York Observer are correct that "The Days Of Drudge Are Over", I hope that people on the left and right would give him credit that he deserves. He has shown the world what power we can have with just a IP address and the courage to take on those in power.
