The Left’s propaganda arm is interesting in their diversity and breadth of reach.

The fact that they make money, while talking about socialism, often times mirrors the fact that Castro’s Cuban execution revolution was fomented by two classes. The poor and the rich. The rich didn’t realize until too late that they weren’t going to be the ones in charge of this new socialist paradise, however. Castro kind of killed them all.

Vogue peeps won’t notice it in time either.

Reader’s Digest has gone down the political left toilet. Though they sometimes give it the ol’ college try to actually cater to their more conservative readership.

My perception is that these magazines (the women’s magazines) influence politics mainly by transmitting the message “”progressives” are cool” rather than “”progressives” are right.”" Might be hard to achieve the same effect with conservatives.

Yes, great idea. I also, have been trying to promote the idea that conservatives should be purchasing shares in the major metro papers ie Times, Washington Post, LA Times, etc.
Shake up the Boards of Directors and get some truth telling conservatives writing for the papers.
Only way in the long run to change the direction of the great idea THE UNITED STATES!

Enjoy your Blog hang in there.

Maybe a decade ago, Scientific American got a new editor and started pushing a left/liberal agenda: abortion is good, Christianity and big business are bad, socialistic societies are good. I only bought S. A. occasionaly back then, because even the subscription was expensive. I stoppped buying it at all, even if it looked like it had a good article or two. Same for National Geographic. Astronomy has just made the same move, and I just canceled my subscription. Science News has just had a hint of the same leftward move, just a little nudging. It will bear watching. These are some of my favorite magazines. I miss the ones that have turned their backs on me, and if S. N. does the same I'm going to miss that one, too. There are other science/technology magazines that are less space flight and more NASCAR. These might also be candidates for a conservative takeover. They don't even have to push right; they just need to go back to being neutral.
