I used to pay attention to Drudge all the time, for two reasons. One, leaving aside the politics, he was for a long time a very good news aggregator. I think he (or whoever runs his site) been less good at that for quite some. Two, of course, is that the Villagers claimed Matt Drudge Ruled Their World, and so it was necesssary to see what shit he was slinging to know what they'd be running with a couple of hours later.
I don't think Drudge rules their world anymore. He's lost the pulse of things, and now they pay attention to the twitter machine.
