Imagine Matt Drudge's operation having a greater influence than the NY Times... along with having one of the best designed sites in the world, while maintianing its simplicity.
Drudge has a staff of 3.
NYT has a staff of 1200.
Everyone knows about The Drudge Report, however, Business Insider writes:
"What few people know — in part because of the apparent simplicity of the site — is that Matt Drudge is arguably the single-most powerful individual in the digital news business.
What few people also know is that the deceptively simple Drudge
Report is one of the most successful and profitable digital media businesses
on the planet."
I love this country.
Matt Drudge has much to be proud of.

To be fair, the Drudge Report isn't so much a news outlet as it is a news broadcaster. Matt Drudge only has to write descriptions of the articles, not actual articles themselves. Which actually makes it MORE impressive that the Drudge Report has the level of influence that it does.
