Weekly Standard
The Weekly Standard is a neoconservative weekly journal published by MediaDC, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clarity Media Group, Inc., and made its debut on September 17, 1995.[1] The magazine is edited by Stephen F. Hayes, Richard Starr and Fred Barnes, co-host of The Beltway Boys on Fox News. It is generally considered to be one of the top three right-leaning publications, along with William F. Buckley's National Review and the American Spectator. It features such writers as P.J. O'Rourke, Irwin Stelzer, Charles Krauthammer and Michael Goldfarb. Bill Kristol was a co-founder and editor of the magazine.
The Weekly Standard has attacked consistent conservatives at times, including claiming Iowa Congressman Steve King is a "bigot", for example.[2]
During the Trump era, TWS performed poorly, and rumors circulated that the magazine would shut down.[3] On December 14, 2018, the magazine announced it would shut down.[4]
