New Republic Owner Puts Magazine Up for Sale
NewsBusters ^ | January 11, 2016 | P.J. Gladnick

One dollar! One dollar! Do I hear a bid for a dollar to buy the New Republic magazine? For the price it cost to buy Newsweek you can also own the New Republic as your personal liberal magazine toy. Ah! I see a bid out there but, sorry Stephen Glass, that fake play money you are waving is not acceptable. I see serial fabulist Scott Thomas Beauchamp is making a bid which we also can't accept because we already know he is lying. 

Yes, the New Republic is now being put up for sale by comedy of errors owner Chris Hughes so, just like Newsweek, you might be able to pick it up for a mere buck.  CNN Money today reports on the sale by the most aburd editor/owner of a magazine since former Newsweek editor Jon Meacham decided it was a great business plan to purposely chop circulation in half

When I became a Conservative at age 29 living in Asia, I returned to the USA, voted for
Reagan, and subscribed immediately to NR & TNR so I would would be armed with
knowing what the statists were plotting, and Buckley's obliteration of their theories.

Didn’t this guy just buy it? Wasn’t it a “wedding present for his husband?”

Didn’t he fire everyone and gut it?

Maybe they could generate some more profit if they merged it with the Penny Saver. Insightful liberal commentary along with where to get a used snow blower for a bargain price.

Hughes’ “fairy” tale has turned to excrement. Couldn’t buy his “husband” a seat in Congress either. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/12/08/the-rise-and-fall-of-chris-hughes-and-sean-eldridge-america-s-worst-gay-couple.html

Wasn’t one of the owners a member of the Cambridge spy ring and a FDR insider, Or do I have my New Dealers, Commies/Progressives mixed up.

From what I understand about the Apostles, the club he belonged to at Cambridge he indulged in the typical British School boy pranks of sodomy and Communism, held to a higher standard because of the Institutes standing, much like Harvard and Yale.

The current owner might be interested if the purchase price was paid with a $3 bill. The Bahamas used to print them.

I have you beat by a wee bit. I became a conservative at age 14, when I stumbled upon National Review in the public library. I grew up in a Boston suburb, which is as far left as you could imagine.
