The Weekly Standard...23 years and taken out by Trump in 2
“May it rest in peace!”
that exclamation point at the end is very ominous...you can almost hear the Imperial March in the background
wow the more I read about this ...I believe the GOP is turning into a mafia-style organization..no dissent in the ranks permitted
This week, Anschutz and McKibben murdered The Weekly Standard, the conservative opinion magazine that Anschutz owned. They didn’t merely close it because it was losing money. They seemed to have murdered it out of greed and vengeance.
John Podhoretz, one of the magazine’s founders, reports that they actively prevented potential buyers from coming in to take it over and keep it alive. They apparently wanted to hurt the employees and harvest the subscription list so they could make money off it. 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.
