Arrogant Trump-Hater Bill Kristol Hit with Disaster. Weekly Standard To Close in Days: Insider
December 5, 2018
Staff members of The Weekly Standard, the conservative magazine that has been critical of President Donald Trump, expect to see a shut-down after rumors about the magazine’s fate began to circulate.
On Tuesday, CNN published an article expressing uncertainty about the magazine’s future.
MediaDC, the magazine’s publisher, seems to favor its other conservative news organization, The Washington Examiner, which tends to be more positive toward Trump.

“They’re expanding the pro-Trump magazine that does what the owners want, while threatening closing of an independent magazine that has its own history and identity,” an unnamed source told CNN.
The Weekly Standard was founded by Bill Kristol, an anti-Trump neoconservative who currently serves as the magazine’s editor-at-large.
Kristol has been a vocal opponent of Trump since the beginning of Trump’s presidential run. He was also one of the major influencers behind the failed #NeverTrump movement.
Here’s how the magazine depicted the then-Republican candidate’s campaign back in January of 2016. (Note Kristol’s commentary.)
Even when Trump does something conservatives would normally favor, like lowering taxes, Kristol manages to find a negative spin.
In a series of phone calls Tuesday, the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Stephen Hayes, told staff that the fate of the magazine is uncertain.
One staff member from The Weekly Standard told The Daily Caller that Hayes himself was left in the dark about the magazine’s future.
CNN reported that its sources had said MediaDC Chairman Ryan McKibben had asked to meet with Hayes late next week. McKibben wants the entire staff of The Weekly Standard be available after that meeting, CNN reported.
“Supposedly Steve Hayes doesn’t even know,” the staff member told The Daily Caller.
An editor for the magazine told The Daily Caller that employees expect the magazine to shut down before 2019.
“I don’t expect it to exist after Dec. 14, 2018,” the editor said. “There is no budget for it at all.”
A former employee of The Washington Examiner offered another prediction.
“They’re either closing or they’re folding into a page of the Washington Examiner,” the former Examiner employee said.
