Daily. Home page...5,6 times a day. But starting about 3 years ago, Drudge isn't as up-to-the-minute as he used to be. Before, his headlines could change in 5 minutes; now, the same headline can be there for 48 hours. I'm actually finding the left-wing huffingtonpost.com more exciting to go to for changing headlines. They are much, much more biased to the left than Drudge is to the right, but I find their approach fresher...I get the impression that Drudge is bored or tired of his role as the main guy... > From your comments, its sounds like you are repeating stale 4th hand > characterizations you read on some other site.
