# Drudge Report ### TL;DR ### Aggregate > The **Drudge Report** (stylized as DRUDGE REPORT) is a U.S.-based news aggregation website founded by [Matt Drudge](Index%20📚/Person/Matt%20Drudge.md), and run with the help of Charles Hurt and Daniel Halper. The site was generally regarded as a conservative publication, though its ownership and political leanings have been questioned following business model changes in mid-to-late 2019. The site consists mainly of links to news stories from other outlets about politics, entertainment, and current events; it also has links to many columnists. > The Drudge Report originated in 1995 as a weekly subscriber-based email dispatch. It was the first news source to break the [Clinton–Lewinsky scandal](Clinton–Lewinsky%20Scandal.md) to the public, after [Newsweek](Newsweek.md) decided to "kill the story". > [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drudge%20Report) # Tags #Index #Media ---- - **First Indexed:** 05-30-2023 - 1:55 pm - **Last Updated:** 05-30-2023 - 1:55 pm
