New York (CNN Business)The fate of The Weekly Standard, the conservative magazine that has staked out a position as a publication on the right still critical of President Donald Trump, is uncertain, Editor-in-Chief Stephen Hayes told staff in a series of phone calls Tuesday, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The magazine's precarious position comes after its leadership spent months searching for a buyer, the people told CNN.

The people explained that The Weekly Standard's leadership had butted heads with MediaDC, the current parent company of the magazine, and that the two parties had agreed to allow Hayes to search for a new owner.

However, MediaDC recently informed The Weekly Standard's leadership that the company was no longer interested in a sale, the people said.

Forgot about Steve Hayes. Hasn’t been on Fox lately. Now if only Fox would drop Goldberg and I’d be happy.

National Review needs to die already as well. I’ll never forgive them for printing Kevin Williamson’s screed saying white working class people needed to die off and they were trailer trash for supporting Trump.

If I could save them by buying ONE issue, I wouldn’t.
Good riddance!

No, it should die, and all of its real property should be piled up outside in a big field and it should be lit on fire. The homeless could use it to warm themselves for a time.
