Yes, there is a real need by the left to shut down Drudge. Just to much truth for the Democrats. They just cant handle it.  Same reason You Tube is  now closing down sites and stories that tell the truth and facts. The left just hates it as they have planned owning the media and fake news for years and put a lot of money and effort into packing the media with their propaganda liars.  If he was like Politico and the hill and media matters that only post lies and left wing propaganda they would not care but Drudge puts out information on both sides.
