Washington Whispers by Paul Bedard

Billionaire Anschutz to Buy Murdoch's Weekly Standard

Paid Too Much

The Weekly Standard isn't conservative. It's neoconservative. Conservatives stopped reading the Weekly Standard and National Review several years ago, if not before. Anschutz is wasting his money and Murdoch is well rid of a stale, loss-leading property.

worrisome

I'm a little worried here. I love the weekly standard, and I hope nothing changes with the magazine after this change. It's strange that Murdoch would sell now, when FOX is doing so well, and I expect he is doing well. Maybe the loss every year is getting annoying, who knows. Glad to hear that there won't be big changes, hopefully.
