About Us

Mission

The National Rust is an online magazine that embraces the elements of the digital age it likes and rejects those it dislikes. Its editorial policy and consent do not supplicate before the altar of political ideology, advertisers, polls, the dictates of the proprietor or the whims of the editor. We are not on Facebook as we do not accept their definition of friendship. We do not tweet as we need more than 140 characters to express ourselves properly. Our contributors will not have a Chief Sub Editor distorting their copy. They call it as they see it and how it is. The National Rust is a collation of news and reviews which are provocative, well informed and we hope above all entertaining.
