Just weeks before President Trump’s inauguration, Stephen Hayes took over as editor in chief of the conservative magazine The Weekly Standard — and immediately began adding new resources and expanding its staff. His goal: to ensure that his news organization stood out as the conservative alternative not only to mainstream media organizations, but also to conservative outlets which he says peddle fake and distorted news. Those sites and stories, he says, discredit not only conservative viewpoints and values, but also democracy. Hayes (@StephenFHayes) joins Here & Now‘s Robin Young to discuss The Weekly Standard, and his efforts to combat fake news. Copyright 2017 NPR. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.
