New York (CNN Business)The Weekly Standard, the magazine that espouses traditional conservatism and which has remained deeply critical of President Donald Trump, will shutter after 23 years, its owner Clarity Media Group announced Friday morning. The magazine will publish its final issue on December 17.

Employees were told at an all staff meeting, which CNN obtained an audio recording of, that they would be paid through the end of the year, and that afterward they would receive severance which would range in scale depending on factors like seniority. To receive severance, however, employees would need to sign a strict non-disclosure and non-disparagement agreement.

The closing of the magazine represents a broader shift in conservative media. Outlets on the right that are critical of Trump have lost influence or changed their tone, while media organizations on the right supportive of the President have flourished.

ROTFLOL....that's a good one.

So much rich material was posted that week in response to planting a 94 year old globalist.

I think the Bush league Die-nasty was jealous of Ronnie Reagan's funeral, like they were jealous of his presidency, from the look of all the pompous circumstance.

While watching bits and pieces, I kept thinking that in typical globalist RINO miscalculating fashion, they thought all they had to do was delay the inevitable.....hoping for a better result.

I will give the demise of the Weakly Standard all the thoughtful consideration it deserves.

Okay, all done now.

You can spend quality time with the like of Fred Barnes, William Krystal and Stephen Hayes. Losers All!

Boehner is advertising on local radio for a seminar to learn about making money on medical marijuana.

Perhaps they will go there and get stoned.

"Where can I go to dance on their grave?"

Perhaps we should set up a grave for just that purpose, (so that people could go there to dance on their grave, or do various other functions to express their feelings, as the mood strikes them).

Since it is so close to Christmas, and this "Weekly Standard" demise is like an early Christmas present for good people everywhere, my suggestion is that that gravesite should be set up at "The Merry Cemetery", and that the following tombstone should be used for that purpose:

The WEAKLY Standard is/was certainly not a conservative magazine from what I could tell. The Left loved it from what I could tell.

“Outlets on the right that are critical of Trump have lost influence or changed their tone, while media organizations on the right supportive of the President have flourished”

To reiterate what you said, I can’t believe CNN wrote this!

Sounds like a winner to me.

Good catch!
Goes to show the ‘establishment’ are clueless as to the real world.
Not one of them will admit the ‘Progressive’ ideology is destroying this country. The Left has gone too far in demanding largess of the Treasury. And we all know it is us, the makers, who will have to work harder for less.

The blind, unreasoning hatred of the neocons for Trump is one of the strongest reasons to never abandon him.

And you know, Mark Levin really surprised me in the spring and summer of 2016. I never took him for a Bill Kristol-Max Boot ‘fight all wars except our own” guy - but I was obviously wrong.

uh, bye.

Not all Neos hate Trump. Ari Fleisher seems to think he’s OK.
