Page "Matt Drudge" Paragraph 3

Drudge was unknown before he began the news aggregation site, the Drudge Report.

For many years, he took odd jobs such as night counterman at a 7-Eleven convenience store, telemarketer for Time-Life books, McDonald's manager, and sales assistant at a New York City grocery store.

In 1989, he moved to Los Angeles, where he took up residence in a small Hollywood apartment.

He took a job in the gift shop of CBS studios, eventually working his way up to manager.

Here, he was apparently privy to some inside gossip, part of the inspiration for founding the Drudge Report.

Worried about his son ’ s aimlessness, Drudge's father insisted on buying him a Packard Bell computer in 1994.

The Drudge Report began as an e-mail sent out to a few friends.
