Bill Kristol’s Never Trump magazine — The Weekly Standard — is facing its imminent demise. Perhaps hate didn’t sell too well with Conservatives and Republicans. The owners of the publication, Media DC, say they are going to concentrate on their other outlet instead, The Washington Examiner, Vox reports.
A source told Vox reporter Joan Coaston, “This is not about dwindling subscribers. This is about strip-mining TWS for its assets” — namely, the magazine’s subscriber lists.
That’s not likely 100 percent truthful.
Founded in 1995 by Bill Kristol and Fred Barnes, the Weekly Standard is best known as a publication aimed at “neoconservatives” aka neocons. Neocons are a dying breed. They followed a hawkish foreign policy which is less popular these days.
Also, maybe bashing Trump daily isn’t as much of a money maker and vehicle of conservative thought as Kristol assumed. Shocker!
The Chief White House Correspondent for One America News, Emerald Robinson reported Tuesday that the magazine will close down in a few weeks.
Robinson says they’ve been losing subscribers since 2016: BREAKING: Multiple sources tell me that neocon magazine @weeklystandard is expected to close its operations in a few weeks. It had lost many subscribers since the 2016 election as its #NeverTrumper editors @BillKristol @stephenfhayes @SykesCharlie publicly aligned with the Left.

In addition to Kristol, Stephen Hayes and Charlie Sykes lined up against Trump. That was a bad idea. They should have remained neutral if they couldn’t say anything nice.
The truth is the magazine is often unbearable reading for those of us who want the President to succeed.
According to Vox, staffers say the magazine’s owners “have worked to sabotage TWS every step of the way” and now want to harvest the magazine’s subscriber base to help support the Washington Examiner, which is now expanding into a nationally distributed magazine.
Truthfully, The Washington Examiner isn’t tainted and is three times as popular.
The magazine honchos literally aligned with the far-left. Maybe conservatives had enough negativity from the left without suffering through it from the right. It’s self-torture.
Whatever the reason, if the report is true, Hasta La Vista baby!
buh bye Bill. ya pompus ass.

Good. Couldn’t happen to a nicer asshat.
hope to see Vox die soon too.
I remember The Weekly Standard.
Take George Will and Max Boot with you, Billy Boy!
Yeah, let’s sink National Review next!
>>Didn’t Newsweek sell for $1.00?<<
Yes, with Jon Meacham at the helm of the sinking ship, the pompous ‘RAT knothead who eulogized GHWB today.
Bump
Trump-bashing is a money-maker, but on the Left side of the political spectrum - MSNBC, DailyKos, etc all justify their existence by attacking Trump and his supporters non-stop. Why would anyone want a cheap imitation when they can get the real deal?
The Weekly Standard falls between the cracks - anti-Trump liberals don't read it because its writers claim to be Republicans (and because they can get their daily dose of Trump bashing elsewhere), conservatives don't read it because most of its op-eds are warmed-over 1980's liberalism disguised as conservatism.
Will was always a squish, but poor Max. I heard him recently in Andrew Klavan’s (sp.. not sure how to spell it) show. It was like he was reading from a DNC press release. He’s really lost his way, and his mind
'In order to make an omelet you have to break some eggs'.
The problem with neocon political and military actions is we never get the omelets. Just shattered nations filled with hatred toward their aggressors (us).
