I guess the WS will cease being a conservative-leaning (sometimes ever so slightly) magazine?

Murdoch just wanted to get rid of it, huh?

Interesting. Here in the Bay Area the Examiner use to be the second paper in town...It got sold several(?) times it’s now a conservative (somewhat) free, throwaway that’s good for reading ‘cause I never buy the Chron.

The Weak Substandard has always been a rag, from the first issue (full of git-off-my-lawn complaints about the eeevul Internet).

I remember the week (or so) that George Magazine and Weekly Standard launched simultaneously, George of course got the Princess Diana treatment of breathless excitement while the Standard was mostly ignored.

I made the easy prediction that the Weekly Standard would still be around long after George disappeared, I assume a lot of us here made that prediction.

In the future, please post all content from the examiner into our bloggers forum.

Thanks,

“one of the most highly respected publications of public policy and political commentary in America.”

At least ten train loads of BS in that statement.
