On Oct. 11, 2015, @DRUDGE went dark. Gone was the profile picture (dark sunglasses, cowboy hat), expelled was the playful header image of two parrots preening. All that remained was a black square and a black header and the capital letters that bellowed his name: MATT DRUDGE. Just days earlier, the reclusive and powerful founder of the Drudge Report had appeared on Alex Jones' InfoWars program, although "appeared" might be too generous.
