Drudge is the author of The Drudge Report, the widely read Internet website that focuses on political news and the business of Hollywood, where he exposed the Monica Lewinsky scandal to the world and scooped Newsweek.

Drudge's declared aim is to give "the American people" the information he believes to be correct or important, and to revolutionize the media industry with a breath of fresh, young air.

 Matt Drudge
Matt Drudge was a C- and D-student in high school, then worked a steady succession of unsteady low-pay jobs.
In 1997, Drudge reported that "...one influential Republican, who demanded anonymity, [told] the Drudge Report that court records existed showing that then-White House aide Sidney Blumenthal had committed violent acts against his wife." As with many of Drudge's scoops, it was untrue, and despite a retraction and apology, Blumenthal sued.
Of the 31 remaining Drudge "exclusives", 11 (36%) were true, 10 (32%) were demonstrably false and/or never happened, and the accuracy or inaccuracy of the remaining 10 items (32%) was impossible to verify.
