Matt Drudge Returned to Twitter With a Scathing Attack on Fox News Over a Questionable Segment They Aired, and Fox Just Responded

Drudge, who periodically deletes his archived tweets, has had a turbulent relationship with social media. "I've got that little Twitter thing," he said in 2015, but "even that's kind of disgusting."

A report by The Week last year picked apart Drudge's unique tweeting habits.

"To this day, Drudge's Twitter account is often left blank with only a default message telling his 522,000 followers that "@Drudge hasn't Tweeted,'" the report said. "When he does tweet, the message stays up for just 24 hours before vanishing."

In 2014, after he erased his past tweets, Drudge explained why he did it: "In this maniac Digital Age … it's vital … to clear your mind … constantly." He later tweeted "self-quarantine" before deleting his tweets again.

When he returned to Twitter last year, his page took on a new retro look, which Drudge felt was indicative of the times.

"We have clearly entered a historic era," he told Axios. "It's feeling like the Roaring 20's this autumn with tech valuations at such hysterical heights. The socials, like Instagram Live, are alive with the spirit of Warhol. The sound of the atom splitting is looming over Korea. What's old is new. So, black and white and read all over!"

Drudge's Twitter account has more than half a million followers. He, however, follows zero.

Thus, Drudge is likely unconcerned with his followers' frustration over his criticism of Fox.

What a time to be alive.
