Weekly Standard to be Reborn Under Radical Anti-American Leftist Iranian Billionaire
Front Page ^ | January 6, 2019 | Daniel Greenfield

The Weekly Standard was a worthwhile publication. Unfortunately its rebirth as The Bulwark is set to be a good deal uglier with a radical leftist funder notorious for his backing of terrorist propaganda and anti-Semitism.

A handful of writers and editors who worked at The Weekly Standard, the now-defunct conservative magazine that was deeply critical of President Donald Trump until its sudden demise in December, have a new home.

Starting Monday, Bill Kristol, a co-founder of The Weekly Standard, and Charlie Sykes, the former talk radio host and conservative commentator, will beef up The Bulwark, a conservative website that has until now served as an aggregator for Kristol's non-profit group, the Defending Democracy Together Institute.

"The Bulwark was an aggregator," Sykes told CNN in a phone interview Friday. "We are going to turn it into a full-fledged opinion news website, with really the core digital staff of The Weekly Standard."

They were good for one edition. The first. Since then they have consistently moved to the left

Bill Kristol has gone mad. His parents were both reputable, scholarly people. He must have an inferiority complex. NeverTrumpism is not the antidote.

“Bill Kristol has gone mad. His parents were both reputable, scholarly people. He must have an inferiority complex. NeverTrumpism is not the antidote.”

Kristol has been a man with no principles who has been willing to say whatever he is paid to say.

The Weekly Standard had almost no paid circulation. It was supported by a wealthy billionaire who recently shut it down.

Kristol is now being financed by a wealthy, America hating Iranian, Pierre Omidyar. Omidyar is a supporter of terrorists and has previously financed American traitors Edward Snowden, Reality Winner and others. He financed The Intercept a leftist, terrorist supporting site. Now Kristol and his group of Trump haters are taking Omidyar’s money to attack president Trump.
