4.0 out of 5 stars One of the better conservative publications, February 12, 2002

By	Jeffrey Ellis "bored recluse" (Richardson, Texas United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Along with National Review, the Weekly Standard is one of the most popular and influential conservative magazines out there. While it tends to promote the same issues of NR (and even uses many of the same writers), the Weekly Standard tends to be the more partisan of the two. While NR often takes the more intellectual approach to the modern day issues, the Weekly Standard has always tended to go more for the gut. Both magazines, however, do an outstanding job promoting and defending conservative positions and, as a bonus, both can be wickedly funny. I especially enjoy the Weekly Standard's Scrapbook, a regular column where some of the more bizarre and inane actions of the left are given proper exposure. As well, the Weekly Standard's book and movie reviews are, at times, superior even to National Review's. As a magazine, the Weekly Standard is a must for conservatives and will probably be enjoyed by moderates (and perhaps even open-minded liberals) with a sense of humor. As for those you who are still bemoaning the results of the Florida recount and wishing Clinton could have had a third term -- well, I think Mother Jones is still looking for subscribers...

4.0 out of 5 stars A "Right-thinking" weekly political magazine, August 27, 2004

By	L. Dowling (Alabama) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been a subscriber to this magazine for close to a decade now, and it's one that I'm loathe to be without. The articles are short, pithy, and are just about always written in a single block - no "continued on p. 34."

I don't always agree with every article or opinion, and I know the magazine has the reputation of being a neo-conservative publication, but for keeping up with current events from the point of view of conservatives (and often Christians)it beats the rest.

My favorite features are "The Scrapbook" and Casual - both usually very funny. I also enjoy the "Books & Arts" section - it makes holding onto each issue worthwhile, as the reviews are so good that they're usually re-readable.

A subscription to this magazine is a treat!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nearly Perfect., July 11, 2004

By	Bernard Chapin "Ora Et Labora!" (CHICAGO! USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

The Weekly Standard is not as strong as the National Review. That being said, it's tough to find much wrong with this magazine. Furthermore, as it is published about twice as often as NR, comparisons between the two are not just. As for editors, Fred Barnes is about as good as they get. He's a spotlight of cheer on Foxnews, and he is on these pages as well. Their book reviews are great and their parodies are the first thing you should turn to when you receive a copy (they're found on the last page). As for reporting, I can say without reservation that Matt Labash is the most entertaining investigative journalist in America today! I love his stuff and it's hard to resist telling your friends about all the things he observes while he's in the field. His, "Among the Puppeteers," was one of my favorites back in 2000. They have digital access for subscribers only and on Saturday mornings their site is the first thing I check for newsworthy articles.
