Between Midnight and 1 AM on election night, the Drudge Report dropped Zero Hedge from their list of news sources.
Until Tuesday Night, Zero Hedge sat under the Wrap in their news source column, right in that invisible spot in YELLOW. Then, late into election coverage, Zero Hedge dropped this article: Antifa Returns On Election Night, Causing Chaos In Downtown Seattle. Within an hour, Zero Hedge had over a hundred thousand hits, and was then dropped from the Drudge Report. I hadn't seen the Antifa article ANYWHERE else but Zero Hedge.
Now, coincidentally, the Drudge Report also rearranged some of their columnists and out of country news sources, so we'll wait a week to see if this is a temporary or permanent change.
But if only 1% of Zero Hedge's Traffic comes from the Drudge Report, the demotion would be more of a symbolic one than an impactful one. Maybe Zero Hedge should promote more of their content at WhatFinger.
Only 8 hours after being dropped, Zero Hedge had over 1.5 MILLION people read about America's TRUMPQUAKE!
Just an aside, just about everyone was wrong about Trump's Landslide victory, except Zero Hedge and Beacon of Speech co-founder Ted. As I sit at my computer, I am still stunned. The Geeks at 538 literally said the election was a coin flip.
The election results weren't a coin flip, they were a shellacking.
