Cuck Central is live! All they need to do is add Rod Dreher and they’ll be set:
Former National Review columnist Jonah Goldberg and Steve Hayes of the now-defunct Weekly Standard have launched a conservative media company called The Dispatch.
“We aim to make The Dispatch a place that thoughtful readers can come for conservative, fact-based news and commentary that doesn’t come either through the filter of the mainstream media or the increasingly boosterish media on the right. Importantly, we want to build a genuine community, with regular engagement between those of us who work here and the readers and listeners who will pay our salaries,” Goldberg and Hayes write on the company’s website.
Visitors to the site can choose to read content for free initially or purchase a “Founders Membership” for $1,500, which provides a lifetime membership and other perks including “priority access to meet-ups, events, conference call with top staffers” and “access to robust members-only discussion room.”
“Everything will remain free for the next few months. Early next year, we’ll begin charging $10 a month or $100 a year for membership,” Hayes indicates in an email to new subscribers.
The publication’s newsletter will debut on Wednesday, Axios first reported on Tuesday.
National Review’s David French will also be joining The Dispatch as senior editor, the news outlet added.
According to Axios, The Dispatch will launch with a full-time staff of eight. It has reportedly raised $6 million from investors ahead of its debut.
It’s a blog. A six-million-dollar group blog. I wonder how long it will be before that $6 million from investors is converted into a loan. And it won’t surprise me if it doesn’t have as many page views as this totally free blog does.
You always know a publication is going to be full of tedious squishes when it advertises itself as “thoughtful”. Because they spend a lot of time thinking very hard about how to be absolutely certain that no one can call them racist.
