The Federalist
The Federalist's Self-Proclaimed Bias
In September 2013, co-founder Ben Domenech, a conservative writer and TV commentator, wrote that The Federalist was inspired by the worldview of the original TIME magazine, which he described as "[leaning] to the political right, with a small-c conservatism equipped with a populist respect for the middle class reader outside of New York and Washington, and an abiding love for America at a time when snark and cynicism were not considered substitutes for smart analysis."
Domenech wrote that The Federalist would be informed by TIME's 1920s “list of prejudices” for the magazine, which included principles such as:
- A belief that the world is round and an admiration of the statesman’s view of all the world.
- A general distrust of the present tendency toward increasing interference by government.
- A prejudice against the rising cost of government.
- Faith in the things which money cannot buy.
- A respect for the old, particularly in manners.
- An interest in the new, particularly in ideas.

Hunter Biden, the much-discussed son of Democratic frontrunner and former Vice President Joe Biden, is the father of a baby born in Arkansas in August of 2018, according to court filings. For months, Biden denied that he fathered the child; however, the mother has stated that Hunter “verbally admitted” to her in private that he was the father of the child.
The motion, filed earlier today in Independence County Circuit Court, declares with “scientific certainty” that Hunter, 49, is the father of a child born to 28-year-old Lunden Alexis Roberts. According to local reports, public records indicate that a woman by that name lives in Batesville, Arkansas.
