4. Now, THAT is the American Dream.

I guess he could run his site as a public service.

For a few days, then he's broke.

5. no.

Let me explain, maybe you weren't aware how it works.

Drudge originally ran his site as an assortment of links to current news and it was funded quite nicely by banner and placement ads. I have experience in the field and with his BILLIONS of hits, he was making BANK.

Over the past few years he started receiving compensation directly from WaPo, WSJ, NYT, etc...

Thus... the 2019 version of Drudge looks pretty much like HuffPo or Yahoo News.
