Outlet track record
The Dispatch
U.S. center-right
The Dispatch is a subscription-driven digital news and commentary outlet founded in 2019 by conservative writers Jonah Goldberg and Steve Hayes after the collapse of The Weekly Standard. It aims at readers who hold traditional conservative views but are skeptical of Trump-aligned MAGA politics, explicitly rejecting the role of party booster. Its coverage of Trump's second term has been consistently critical, scrutinizing administration policies from a small-government, rule-of-law conservative standpoint rather than from a left-of-center perspective.
