National Review: Publisher ‘Broken Hearted’ Over Subscription Cancellations
Breitbart ^ | January22,2016

Posted on 01/22/2016 6:45:06 PM PST by Hojczyk

Last night, National Review published articles from twenty conservative intellectuals “Against Trump.” This afternoon, publisher Jack Fowler sent this letter to friends of the magazine:

Dear Friend,

Today is a big day for National Review. Our editors have made a very forceful defense of conservatism, of principle, and against the politics of attitude, in our editorial, Against Trump.

We have received angry calls, and cancel ­my­ subscription demands. One in particular broke my heart. Well, let’s hope time heals.

None of this was unexpected.

But: We have also received very strong expressions of support from many NR friends. People who believe ­­ and they are right to believe this ­­ that the main reason National Review exists is to do the very thing it is doing today.

Defending conservative principle. Defending it from being marginalized, or recast as emotion and bluster instead of as an expression of reason and intelligence.

On behalf of Rich Lowry and my colleagues, thank you for standing with us. Or, better, thanks for letting us stand alongside you as we embrace the Buckley mission: To stand athwart history, yelling stop.

Best,

Jack Fowler

Publisher

And therein is the problem...the MSM never wants to take responsibility for their words. I just cancelled.

Everyone with more than 3 working brains cells should.
How have/shall cancel? I don’t know, but probably a lot.

Oh yes they are out of touch with MOST CONSERVATIVES!

But then, they also damned Reagan as nothing but a grade B actor, when Buckley was in charge and RWR was in the primary season he eventually won the presidencial nomination in .

Rich Lowry? Conservative intellectuals? This is the pinnacle of arrogance. I'd bet these people have done absolutely nothing for "conservative values" except give it lip service.

It is never a good idea to piss at a tsunami. This little stunt may actually bankrupt their mag.

Well illustrated NR cover.

Establishment “intellectual” conservatives of which many are Harvard neocons, whose real opposition to Trump is based on their passion and overwhelming desire for open borders in USA.

Sounds like the big one was Rush, he seemed pretty ticked off about that. He finally is getting the Trump movement and seemed to be enjoying it.

He hinted he was not that thrilled with Levin and Beck with their Trump bash.

Best election ever!

These NRO anti-vulgarians are simply doing it wrong!

To really stop Trump they need to join Whoopi Goldberg and promise to leave upon his election.

The people will surely realize the value of keeping them here.

I may prefer Cruz over Trump, and I have little faith that Trump is doing more than saying whatever it takes to get elected, and that only to feed his narciccism. However, I do not think a Trump candidacy could be any worse for the GOP “brand” than were Romney or McCain.

As such, this hand wringing about Trump being the end of the world is pathetic.

Since when is that idiot, Glenn Beck an “intellectual”?
And I doubt that he went to any college. LOL

The funny thing is their misuse of Buckley’s standing “athwart history yelling, “Stop””

The current beclownment is standing athwart the will of the electorate, which is an undemocratic act and as foolhardy as standing athwart the railroad tracks telling the onrushing locomotive to back down.
