Weird. Maybe I got unlucky with some experiment rollout. My top links are Drudge Retort (some stupid parody), the link to the Drudge app on iPhone, and the dictionary definition for "drudge". Nowhere on the page is there an actual link to the site for me.

For the last couple years, I think the Drudge Report itself has actually been a parody of the Drudge Report.
I like Drudge as an aggregator, it's a great way to see a "full picture" of what is going on in the world. But I do have some major gripes, the main one being that he routinely links to dog shit sources like DailyMail, The Sun, etc. That crap isn't news and I wish I could just remove all links to it from Drudge and Google results forever.
It was sold with an nda.
I clicked on that link for "drudge", the search results vary every time I reload the page. I always get the iOS app, the retort parody, and the dictionary definition as the top 3. But the position of all 3 links vary every time I click reload.

Still don't see the link to the actual site either.

So is mine. But that seems accurate to me. Searching for 'drudge' returns drudge.com as the first result. If users are clicking on that link, and saying there, then that must be what they were looking for.

Searching for "drudge report" brings up drudgereport.com.

Also, after having searched for both "drudge" and "drudge report" several times in a row, drudgereport.com is the top result for both searches.
