Jonah Goldberg is leaving National Review in the coming months to start a new conservative media company with Steve Hayes, who was editor-in-chief of The Weekly Standard when its owner shut it down in December.
Details: Goldberg and Hayes tell me they plan a reporting-driven, Trump-skeptical company that will begin with newsletters as soon as this summer, then add a website in September, and perhaps ultimately a print magazine.
•Hayes, the likely CEO, and Goldberg, likely the editor-in-chief, are the founders.
•Hayes tells me about the startup, which doesn’t have a name now: "We believe there’s a great appetite on the center-right for an independent conservative media company that resists partisan boosterism and combines a focus on old-school reporting with interesting and provocative commentary and analysis."
Hayes and Goldberg are seeking investors.
Barf.
Some rich never trumper is bankrolling them for 2020. A pop up gaslighting operation that will be gone with the wind.
Unfortunate title.

I predict this will have the same demise as Glenn Beck and the Blaze did before CRTV bailed their asses out....
to hell with both of them
They must be looking for a splashy way to throw money down a toilet.
Just what we need: another Trump skeptical media company!
Jonah moved from adolescence to old age seamlessly.
Fixed.
Conservative?
Bwa ha ha ha ha...
LOL!
It’s insane to keep sewing together two dead horses thinking you’re gonna get Seabiscuit.
you betcha. We dont need another media company. What we need are right-leaning versions of Twitter, Instagram and Paypal, not another never Trumper outfit pretending to be MAGA...
Uh, so the header is a lie? Pretty sure I saw “conservative” in there. Did they mean something like “a conversation street based” site? ;-)
If they wanted Trump-skeptical, why leave National Review?
The left always gets to define what “conservative” is, dontcha know. That’s why Jennifer Rubin and Joe Scarborough are “conservative” and we can never, ever deny it, evar.
Axios be truthful? Asking too much, maybe?
Anything or anyone connected to the Weekly Standard should be considered highly radioactive.
