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.

This seems political on the part of our beloved Apple for removing the Drudge Report app. Drudge is a conservative!!! I wish big corporations would just stay out of politics. I read the Drudge Report everyday Apple can’t stop that I just google it!!

ah, someone else who jumped in without reading the rest of the thread and landed in quicksand.
