Jonah Goldberg departed Fox News and founded The Dispatch, an influential conservative media startup, and later joined CNN. He built his reputation as a sharp-edged conservative polemicist and authored the best-selling book Liberal Fascism. His style recalled satirical conservatism rather than scorched-earth pugilism, and he helped launch National Review Online. Goldberg remained committed to traditional conservative principles while refusing to endorse Trumpism for partisan gain. He resigned from Fox alongside Stephen Hayes in protest over Tucker Carlson's Patriot Purge, a decision that cost him his position but underscored his refusal to tolerate propagated falsehoods.
It's not easy leaving Fox News, the biggest news network on television and the biggest platform for conservative views, perhaps, in history. Yet in the years since his self-imposed exile from the network, journalist Jonah Goldberg has launched The Dispatch a remarkably influential upstart media company and improbably landed at CNN. The son of Lucianne Goldberg a central figure in the Monica Lewinsky scandal Jonah first made his name as a sharp-edged conservative polemicist.
But unlike so many conservative pundits who reinvented themselves to accommodate Trumpism, Goldberg did something rare: he stuck to his principles. He remains deeply conservative, but refused to spin Trump's policies for partisan expediency, even at the potential expense of his own career trajectory. That independence ultimately cost him his perch at Fox. Along with Stephen Hayes, his fellow conservative and Dispatch co-founder, Goldberg resigned in protest over Tucker Carlson's conspiratorial documentary Patriot Purge.
