Background
The American Conservative was founded by Pat Buchanan, Scott McConnell and Taki Theodoracopulos  in October 2002.
In February 2003, Ross Douthat co-founded the standalone group blog The American Scene with Reihan Salam and Steven Menashi. It was associated with The American Conservative and had a less formal style. After Douthat and Salam left, the blog was rebranded in 2007 and was slowly absorbed back into The American Conservative.
