The Federalist is an English-language online magazine that covers politics, policy, culture, and religion.[2] It was co-founded by Ben Domenech and Sean Davis; senior editors include David Harsanyi and Mollie Hemingway.[3] According to Domenech, the site has "a viewpoint that rejects the assumptions of the media establishment" and says it is dedicated to discussing "the philosophical underpinnings of the day's debate" instead of focusing on what he calls "the horserace or the personalities".[2]
The Federalist has been described as influential in conservative and libertarian circles, and has been featured in mainstream media such as CNN and MSNBC.[4][5][6][7]
Reception
Writer and former Obama administration spokesman Reid Cherlin describes The Federalist as "seek[ing] to go deep on the issues and sway the conversation in Washington."[4]
Matt K. Lewis of The Week wrote that conservative online media was divided between "staid, august publications" and "a new generation of irreverent sites", and that "Sites like The Federalist try to bridge the gap by providing serious commentary that is typically written by young, pop culture–savvy writers."[8]
David Harsanyi, a Denver Post columnist, described The Federalist as a source of original interviews and arguments between conservatives and libertarians. David Weigel from Bloomberg Politics said that Rand Paul and Mike Lee "gave the site news-making looks at their agendas for foreign policy and Congress, respectively."[7]
In late 2014, The Federalist attracted media coverage when it published articles saying that Neil deGrasse Tyson misquoted George W. Bush in some of his public appearances.[9][10][11][12]
