Google pretty much runs their advertising now, which means they own the content direction.

>During the summer of 2019, after many years of being known for "changing nothing" about the website, Drudge advertising shifted to a "new and unknown" company by the name of Granite Cubed which is owned by Margaret and Adrian Otto. Mr. Otto is a technical director at Google Cloud. In 2017, the Ottos acquired Refdesk, a website whose founder is Bob Drudge, Matt’s father. The current ownership, strategy and outlook for the Drudge Report is held close as private information.

>Without attribution as to cause, viewership of the Drudge Report has been reported by Alexa Internet as dropping markedly since October 2019, from a ranking of #610 in global internet engagement to #739 and declining.
