Kristol will write for N.Y. Times
- Share via
William Kristol, a prominent conservative pundit and magazine editor, has signed on as a columnist for the New York Times, a publication he has often sharply criticized, the newspaper announced.
Kristol, 55, is the editor and co-founder of the Weekly Standard, a Washington political magazine with a conservative viewpoint.
He regularly appears on Fox News, and served as Vice President Dan Quayle’s chief of staff during the administration of President George H.W. Bush.
Kristol, a supporter of the war in Iraq, will write his first weekly column for the Jan. 7 issue, the Times said.
Just last year, Kristol promoted the idea that the federal government prosecute the newspaper for disclosing details about its program tracking international financial transactions. Prior to that he wrote that the paper was “irredeemable,” the Times noted in its announcement.
