Neocon Purge At Time With Kristol, Krauthammer Out

New York Observer:

Two conservative Time magazine columnists are on their way out the door: Neither William Kristol nor longtime contributor Charles Krauthammer will be on contract with the magazine starting next month. Mr. Krauthammer confirmed the news to Off the Record, and a spokeswoman for Time said Mr. Kristol's contract would not be renewed.

And according to two sources familiar with the discussions, Time is in negotiations with National Review editor Ramesh Ponnuru to sign him to a contributor contract.

Maybe enough people cancelled their subscriptions over these two, that Time is feeling the pinch. I cancelled mine, plus a gift subscription I have paid for over 6 years. Now "Newsweek" should drop Rove. I also cancelled two subscriptions there, and told them why. We the people have so little effect, but maybe little by little we can make a difference. In cancelling the subscriptions, I named Kristol and Rove as my reasons. Newsweek called me to try to get me back, I hung up on them I am disgusted.
