Celebrating Michael Savage’s 75th birthday, Matt Drudge, founder of the largest news aggregator site in the world, DrudgeReport.com, paid him a surprise visit and guest hosted for a short while, fielding some calls and offering his opinion on the ongoing struggle between Trump versus the world.
Almost begrudgingly, Drudge declared that Trump, single-handedly, saved the main stream media from death spiraling amidst catastrophic ratings — thanks to public disinterest. Because of Trump, Drudge believes, the opposition has ‘consolidated’, ‘following every bouncing ball’, which has created a revitalization in the media not seen in years.
“I’m getting a little bit nervous about the media situation. Do you know, the media was near death. The New York Times was hanging on the short hairs. Do you know Vanity Fair was going under. CNN barely had a fraction,” Drudge said during an appearance on Michael Savage’s radio show.

Case in point, the share prices for all of the major media companies are sharply higher this year.
Being a provider of both financial and political news, I can tell you, first hand, our finance traffic pales in comparison to the political stuff. People are simply transfixed by this administration, because the man, Donald Trump, love him or hate him, is a lightening rod for controversy. We’re living through a reality show, the White House edition, and the media loves it.
Drudge also touched on Twitter, suggesting their audience is inflated and not that big. Largely, it’s an echo chamber for junkies.
Twitter’s audience isn’t that big. It’s for junkies.

Lastly, he cited recent Rasmussen poll numbers that showed Trump with a 44% approval rating. He said he trusted Rasmussen and that the bad polling data was ‘a danger’ for Trump and a consequence of having been dealt a bad hand, with everyone working in concert against the President. Drudge believes taking some time away from the limelight would do the President some good, judging the tree by the fruit it produces.

Here’s the full clip.
Saving the media is possibly the worst thing he has done so far as President.
Dumbfucks take heed, President Trump can even make the lowliest lowlife of loserdome become winners.
First there was the tea party and eventual trump revolution. Now the rise of madcow, Colbert and the communist counter revolution. This country is so fucked.
lmao. so very accurate.
I just can’t find out where else is better to move too 🙁
maybe Hawaii
See? Liberals win even when they lose.
Sounds like Drudge sees something. Obviously Spring is here. The libtard vampire monster ghouls will soon be roaming around raping and pillaging everything good and decent. How does the President win by staying quiet in that scenario? What was Drudge really saying.
Worst approval rating ever. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-approval-rating-gallup_us_58de8206e4b0ba3595948e21
And yes the polls were pretty damn about before the election too. Afterall she got more votes than he did by over 2%.

Assuming the polls were correct as you keep saying. Why did such intelligent people as pollsters then predict a Hillary win with what, like 95% certainty. Did they not understand we are a Republic not a Democracy or was it willful manipulation of data.
Trump needs to step up his game and crush his opposition so everybody understands he means business. First step, lock her up – Crooked Hitlery/Soros/Obamy clique are simply undermining Trump’s presidency with their “russians did it” nonsense. Second, fire/purge and replace whoever can be fired to send a message that disobedience will not be tolerated.
Yea it all “nonsense”. Lets face it he won’t be prez by end of ’17

And how disgusting is it that Trump wont acknowledge these events. Obviously because he know this is terrorism spawned by his hate. http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/29/politics/when-called-terror-timothy-caughman-murder/index.html
Benny-shill, a fake news spewing troll.
Phew. I’m so glad we have unbiased news sources like CNN to explain all of this to us. I would hate having to think for myself.
Never trust a dude with a fedora or bow tie. Tell that to your children.
Speaking of faux media.. looks like there was more pusdy grabbing going on at Fox than at a Baylor University frat party. O’Reilly jerking off over the phone and propositioning every skirt with 15 milllion bucks in settlements.
Fair and Bonered…
Lol. Got to admit the old perv has good taste in the puddy he grabs.
What are the Las Vagas odds that Jarrett is the leaker?
Must be democrats investing. Who cares sub 3% growth for 10 years plus 10 trillion more in debt. What does it mean? Stocks can outperform the real economy forever? Yes they can! Perhaps we can talk our way out of it.
God I miss the Sunday night radio show. I used to fall asleep to it, wish he never would have cancelled.
