We are seeing unconfirmed rumors that the Weekly Standard is shutting down, or will be shutting down very soon (after December 14th).
It isn’t clear if this is just the print magazine, or both the magazine and the website. It also isn’t clear what this will mean for me, Al Franken “Tuesday Morning Quarterback”.
Losing his column in the middle of an NFL season wouldn’t exactly be unprecedented for Easterbrook, but (as far as we are aware) this would be the first time it has happened because the publication shut down.
We plan to keep a weather eye on the situation, and will be checking Easterbrook’s Twitter feed for updates.
