What happened to the Drudge Report App?

why can't I download the Drudge Report app? I had the app and it stopped working so I tried to reinstall and failed. If this is Apple controlling my freedom of information, I am really ****** off!

Why can't you read the thread before posting in it?

You are wrong, I do care about it, and it is disgusting whoever removed it.

You misunderstood what I think people don't care about. I don't think most people here care if you (or anyone else) are done with Apple products.

I’ve been a Apple user since the late 80’s and bought the hype but will not let my hard earned $ go to a .org. that doesn’t reflect my values. These tech giants have gotten out of control like commie dictators and need to be taken down several notches. It’s the old power corrupts absolutely thing.

And despite declaring “no-one” cares, here you are, caring enough to reply. Isn’t cognitive bias a funny old thing? Smh

I don't care if you switch to another kind of phone. That's the only thing I've expressed strong feelings about.

I think cognitive bias doesn't mean quite what you think it does.

I also jumped in with both feet with Apple products over the past 30 years to the tune of 25+ k and much more when I add what I’ve spent on kids. I’m old now and don’t appreciate being preached to by media or any of the companies I choose to do business with. I have always loved the Drudge Report and all Apple products I have a house full of them. I will spend my money with those who celebrate capitalism not socialism. I miss the Drudge Report being available in the App Store. Also, a free flow of any ideas should be able to be posted in these forums but of course we have seen that too is missing at Apple.

Who is preaching to you? Certainly not Apple. They have said nothing on the subject.

I will spend my money with those who celebrate capitalism not socialism.

So, one of the wealthiest companies in the world is somehow against capitalism? Please explain how that works.

I'm afraid rational reasoning has vanished from the United States (and many other places, also).

What I mourn is civil dialog, the idea that you can have a discussion of ideas with someone of different political views without resorting to name calling. Instead, we have "Someone on twitter said you disagree with me therefore you are a bad person and I'll call you names (even if I don't really understand what the names mean or know if I'm using them correctly)!"

Kindly describe how I’m ‘blindly following a mislead endeavour’ when all I’ve simply done is the same as you - reply to a post. If that’s the basis for your subjective analysis, then surely that makes you a hypocrite?

Tell me APPLE does the above post touch on the original subject? Can it be viewed as a rant or because of the source receives a pass? I’m just trying to understand the rules and more importantly HOW YOU APPLY THEM. I miss having the convenience of having the Drudge app on my screens.

I'm sorry but your post doesn't make much sense in English. You may want to consider posting in your native language.

To Idris: Perhaps not from Drudge or Apple, but from someone else that has an answer.

To Lawrence: See above. No, we do not have an answer yet

25,000 people have viewed these two questions. There is interest.

To everyone: Let's mellow out and wait for whatever truth might be revealed.

I repeat, censorship is not a good thing.

So I guess it comes down to which random strangers on the internet you want to believe. You are apparently not willing to believe Lawrence’s very logical supposition. So who will you believe? If someone posts here saying that Drudge says they pulled it, will you believe them? Or are you waiting for someone to say that Apple is part of a vast left wing conspiracy to silence Drudge? As that seems to be what you believe, the human tendency toward confirmation bias would suggest the latter.

I am not Ganderson. There is evidence that Drudge pulled the app but no proof. Nor has anyone given any proof that Apple pulled the app, just that it is no longer available on their store. All commentators on this forum are random strangers to some extent. When and if someone provides proof either way this issue will be resolved. Again, more than 25,000 users have viewed this question, so there is a lot of interest. I will say that if Apple limits or deletes these posts a lot of people will conclude that Apple did pull the app. Rash charges or haughty comments are becoming tiresome and beneath the quality of this forum. A controversial question has been raised and I hope future posts are based on fact, not biased conjecture.

It is impossible to get a definitive answer in this forum. Apple will not comment (Apple never comments in ASC), and a representative of Drudge apparently will not comment. So no matter what anyone posts there will be people who don't believe them. What would you consider to be proof? A notarized statement from Matt Drudge? But even that could be forged electronically, unless you could go somewhere and view the original. But that would not be in this forum. To the best of my knowledge Apple has not deleted any posts in this thread, except those that included personal attacks.

How about asking Drudge to make a statement on their website? Have you tried that? Other people have, and they were ignored. Maybe you will be lucky.
