This day in history: The National Review published its first issue on this day in 1955.
Wikipedia has this to say about the National Review: "Since its founding, the magazine has played a significant role in the development of conservatism in the United States, helping to define its boundaries and promoting fusionism while establishing itself as a leading voice on the American right."
However, Conservatives, and the Right don't particularly like the National Review. From Conservapedia: "The National Review is a formerly influential political newsmagazine, created by William F. Buckley in 1955 and currently edited by Rich Lowry. Along with the the American Spectator and the now-defunct Weekly Standard, it was once regarded as one of the 'Big Three' of conservative magazines. Neither the National Review nor the (now-defunct) Weekly Standard have been particularly conservative on social issues."
However, I have to give credit where credit is due. The National Review has an article on its site entitled: "National Review Is Irrelevant." Here is an excerpt: "When I grew up, National Review took risks. Where’s the National Review that’s willing to put people’s noses out of joint? Instead, National Review’s writers are universally admired in the liberal press. Their writers are celebrated as heroes among the woke and given boundless respect, even in outlets that had opposed them for decades."
