I just looked this up and did not know this, but co-founder of Facebook, Chris Hughes, became the owner earlier this year. I wonder if it still retains its zionist streak.

Googled his name, this article says Hughes was a major Obama donor, so even if he is were zionist mindset, cannot be hardcore.


Hughes Drops Jews

The New Republic has quietly dropped at least five prominent Jewish writers from its masthead in a move that may signal the publication’s continued drift away from a staunchly pro-Israel standpoint.

The magazine has launched an aggressive new editorial direction under the ownership of wealthy socialite Chris Hughes, who is best known for sharing a room with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg at Harvard University.
The names of several prominent Jewish writers from both the left and right of the political spectrum were dropped from TNR’s masthead in the latest issue.
They include: Daily Beast reporter Eli Lake, longtime TNR columnist James Kirchick, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer, and onetime senior editor Lawrence Kaplan. Complicating the picture, former TNR editor Peter Beinart was also dropped from the masthead. Beinart is the publisher of Open Zion, an anti-Zionist Daily Beast blog sponsored by the New America Foundation.

Hughes is openly gay, but not Jewish. So that means he is not a Zionist at all.:)

Frankly, I feel somewhat relieved to have this kind of guy in charge of a major leftist publication.

Hughes is openly gay..

It is coincidence that last owner Marty Peretz and current owner of "New Republic" mag are both gay, don't think mag is focussed on lifestyle isues.
