"The Weekly Standard", la bible des néoconservateurs

.

Irving Kristol a dirigé une succession de magazines qui aidait à former le néoconservatisme: Encounter, Public Interest et National Interest. Il y a dix ans, son fils Bill a persuadé le richissime magnat de la presse Rupert Murdoch de fournir l’argent pour publier le Weekly Standard.

Le Standard, avec à peine 80, 000 exemplaires, a maintenant un poids politique considerable dans l’Amérique conservatrice. La revue The Economist, (17 septembre 2005) écrivait : "The Standard is the mouthpiece of a new, self-confident conservative intellectual establishment that doesn’t think its feuds with Harvard professors should bleed into a distrut of higher learning."

"Mr Kristol is the head of the Project for the New American Century, which has wanted to oust Saddam for years. The Standard shares a building with the American Enterprise Institute, a right-wing think-tank which lists Mr Cheneys wife as a scholar. "
