On Thursday, it was reported that Jonah Goldberg of the National Review and Stephen Hayes, the former editor-in-chief of The Weekly Standard, were teaming up to launch a new media company.
This announcement comes in the wake of the launch of The Bulwark website by still other survivors of the scuttled Weekly Standard―their goal being to “push back against the moral and intellectual corruption that now poses an existential threat to conservatism as a viable political force.”
Not content to be just the source of employment for erstwhile Bill Kristolites, The Bulwark is already throwing sharp elbows. In a controversial piece in The Atlantic last week, The Bulwark’s Charlie Sykes fired a warning shot at some of the more highbrow apologists for Trumpism.
