What magazine was established in 1988 by Frank Thomas and Keith White and has been associated with the Dirtbag Left?
Dirtbag Left Dirtbag Left is a term coined by Amber A'Lee Frost to refer to a loose group of leftist American media figures. Members include the hosts of podcast Chapo Trap House, and, ostensibly, Brace Belden. Will Menaker has referred to the term as "...a nice way of describing a kind of scurrilous and funny approach to left-wing politics...". Publications "The Baffler", "Street Fight Radio", and "Current Affairs" have also been associated with the Dirtbag Left.
The Spectator The Spectator is a weekly British conservative magazine on politics, culture, and current affairs. It was first published on 6 July 1828. It is currently owned by David and Frederick Barclay who also own "The Daily Telegraph" newspaper, via Press Holdings. Its principal subject areas are politics and culture. Its editorial outlook is generally supportive of the Conservative Party, although regular contributors include some outside that fold, such as Frank Field, Rod Liddle and Martin Bright. The magazine also contains arts pages on books, music, opera, and film and TV reviews. In late 2008, "Spectator Australia" was launched. This offers 12 pages of "Unique Australian Content" (including a separate editorial page) in addition to the full UK contents.
