And Anschutz, being a professing Christian, decided to close the magazine at the height of the Christmas season, and so cause maximum pain to his former employees and their families.

What kind of crappy gossip is that? People get laid off before Christmas all the time, because it coincides with the end of the year.

Brooks has spent too much time drawing money from "charities" like the New York Times and NPR.

Phil Anschutz is a #NeverTRUMPer?

Mr. Kristol does not celebrate Christmas. Maybe the owners were being nice to him and waited for Hanukkah to end.

The arrogance of the writer, in the first three paragraphs, is amazing.

I suggest it was Mr. Kristol, in the Lounge, with the keyboard. Can you disprove me?

Mr. Kristol, on the Internet, with lies and hate for President Trump.

The first thing Brooks should remember is that the people he’s describing in an insulting fashion are more highly thought of than he.

Now maybe I’ll go read the rest. Or not.

I thought: I bet Brooks is fine with killing babies, but laying off loser journalists is ‘murder’.
