Scuttlebutt: I'm hearing a lot of complaining that people are being laid off just in time for Christmas, and I'm further hearing complaining that most of the people negatively affected were trying to make a genuine conservative magazine – but the troika of Steven Hayes, Jonathan V. Last, and Bill Kristol (and lesser cuck hangers-on like Andrew Egger and Jim Swift) were determined to take the magazine to the left, either to further their new #Woke political agendas or to turn the magazine into a clip-file for their applications to work at the magazines they really want to work at – The Atlantic most of all.
