Current statusActive

The Federalist is a web magazine, launched in September 2013, that covers politics, policy, culture, and religion. It was co-founded by Ben Domenech and Sean Davis; senior editors include David Harsanyi and Mollie Hemingway. According to Domenech, the site has "a viewpoint that rejects the assumptions of the media establishment". Other sources have described The Federalist as conservative and as a "right-wing outlet".

Reception

In an article published in Politico Magazine, titled "The HuffPo-ization of the Right", conservative writer Reid Cherlin describes a number of right-wing websites and online publications, including The Daily Caller, Weekly Standard, Breibart, and The Blaze. Cherlin refers to targeted sites like the Washington Free Beacon and The Federalist as "seek to go deep on the issues and sway the conversation in Washington." In the article, Cherlin mentions that conservatives appreciate the new range of right-wing outlets, including Domenech’s claim that "he only thing that I think is hurtful to the movement is if you didn’t have that kind of variety". The article reports that the focus of these right-wing outlets is on hardening opposition to President Barack Obama, with a view beyond the end of his second term. Domenech goes on to compare such focus with the proliferation of liberal outlets at a similar point during President George W. Bush’s tenure.

A Media Matters for America article published April 2014 and titled "Introducing The Federalist, A New Web Magazine For Anti-LGBT Conservatives" describes The Federalist as an outlet having received plaudits from conservative groups known for their anti-LGBT advocacy. The article further describes how the website's founder describes The Federalist as a publication "that rejects the assumptions of the media establishment”, and how such a position leads it to reject basic protections for LGBT people.

According to an article at Seeking Alpha written by professor of economics and finance Mark Perry, The Federalist is mistaken in their presentation of food inflation in which they claim "food inflation has blown away wage growth" since the end of the Great Recession. Perry asserts that although some food groups might have gone up, over the last five years "consumer prices, food prices and hourly earnings have all increased at almost exactly the same rate", and defines The Federalist claims as "outrageous".

An article in The Fiscal Times, posted by Yahoo News, about a Ta-Nehisi Coates' piece on race relations in the US making the case for reparations, references Mollie Hemingway’s article in The Federalist, in which she criticizes Coates' piece for "sweeping generalizations, laughable straw men, claims that were both major and unsubstantiated, and numerous holes", while according to The Fiscal Times, failing to identify any of the specific issues in the article.

Neil deGrasse Tyson controversy

In September 2014, columnist Sean Davis wrote a series of articles for The Federalist which accused astrophysicist and television science documentary host Neil deGrasse Tyson of fabricating quotes in a portion of his public speeches. The Daily Beast, The Tampa Tribune, and other news outlets also covered the story in editorials and hosted blogs. Tyson later apologized for mistakenly dating a quote of George W. Bush to September 11, 2001, when in fact the President said it on a different occasion and in a different context than that asserted by Tyson.
