FYI: DrudgeReport design stand the test of time as the site is almost 20 years old without much changes. I am surprised how little similar sites are there to aggregate news in simple one-page style. I am thinking of open sourcing the code altogether with admin panel so that others can build their own sites, be it gossips report or even technology aggregator news site. We do have HN of course but the form is somewhat different.

Let me know how I can make the site even better.

Fantastic idea and execution. Now I can dissolve nearly 95% of my rss feed on this subject matter.

Thanks for the website...it's going to be a wicked year!

Thank you. I don't think the site needs RSS feed itself as its just 100% of other sites' content, but its fun and challenge to go through so much material updated daily and pickup real news versus fake, propaganda and obvious lies.

I would appreciate sharing the site with your friends or family - addThis app is built into the bottom of the right column.

Are you scraping these headlines? Talk a bit on the development. I wanted to make something similar for a science based subject and I was simply going to use rss.

Thank you. I plan to moderate it for now myself. Obvious question everyone asking when I show friends/family: are you Trump's friend or a foe. Its exactly reason why I build the site, because these days every news site/agency seems to have an agenda pro- or against-.

When I review the feed for the news I do not ask myself a question if this piece will put Trump Admin in good or bad light. If the news seems newsworthy and source is somewhat reliable and article does a decent job explaining itself, then I post it.
