That would be Dick Lowry.

Williamson is like a concentration camp Kapo - he has more hate for his own people than he does for the people who put him in there.

NR goes the way of all ungrounded flesh - the the Left.
“Conservatism” (tyranny of the status quo) was ever the answer - only pointed to the answer.
The answer for America is
1) faith in God not in man or his government, and
2) restoration of our Free Constitutional Republic (blow up the status quo)

Back in the 80’s, with my meager teenage, earning I subscribed to NR and Sporting News (for baseball). Both publications I haven’t considered in a long time.

Let’s try this again...

A big part of the problem is this homo: Jason Lee Steorts. It is managing editor, and pretty much leftist scum.

When National Review came out against Trump it became obvious they did not have our country’s best interest at heart.
Everyone I have ever met who went to Harvard behaved as if their opinion was the only right opinion. It was always left wing.

"Williamson decries what he calls the “cable news bubble,” and the “fractured media landscape,” and then criticizes “modern right-wing Internet journalism.”
This is incoherent. He criticizes the cable news "bubble" - suggesting it isolates people in their own separate worlds - and then criticizes the "fractured media landscape," implying that too many different voices are being heard.
In reality, people who visit a site like this are exposed to far more points of view than people who rely on one newspaper or one television outlet. We are exposed to the MSM, foreign news sources, scientific and medical journals, religious media, blogs left and right, and - yes - some fringe sites. Moreover, pretty much every story triggers a debate, and we are not shielded from contrary views.

Thing is, even Rush was a legacy donor and this was after they stood against Trump in 2016. These publications have old money behind them, so they continue on in their absolute irrelevance. I hadn’t thought of that publication in a few years

Actually, I think it is more accurate to say that,
“People who spend a lot of time in front of the TV watching anything, be it any news channel, sitcom, reality show, TV series, etc. are not in the main what you’d call happy and well-adjusted people.”
I rarely watch any TV. Maybe an hour per week at most and find I am much more content, happy and positive outlook on life and the world around me. I also don’t miss being bombarded by commercials trying to condition or convince me that white people are evil and black are not simply better than the rest of us but also that their ghetto culture is cool.

NR had to many “ex” Commies who exerted influence over Buckley especially.

"the fractured media landscape"
This sounds like an argument for censorship, for the imposition of a mandatory consensus on all issues. It sounds like globalism, and that Williamson no longer believes there is a distinctly conservative way of looking at things, but that his type of conservativism is now indistinguishable from the mainstream consensus. In arguing against "right-wing" media, Williamson is arguing against the need for a magazine like National Review.

You can tell a man from Harvard, but you can’t tell him much.

I dropped NR when they turned against the Tea Party. That’s when NR became overtly disconnected from large parts of the Republican party.
Lowry sounds like someone pays him to write those columns
