Good to see I'm not alone in this realization!  ;-)  

I've been a subscriber since 1974 and a magazine that used to be witty, informative, and interesting is now merely a yet-another fount of Neo-con propaganda.  

The final decision was made last week when they printed 'Lexington's' intellectually incoherent defence of unrestricted wiretapping.  So much for their vaunted belief in civil liberties.

It's become increasingly annoying to read them, as they are also (I suppose it goes together) increasingly euroskeptical and anti-French. But their bias in the US coverage is getting worse, and less and less hidden. The tone of that article on Alito was pretty typical.

But they still have cool graphs, and good coverage of a number of topics. And, if you read them regularly, you know how to untangle their biases, open or hidden.

I fully concur, yet will maintain my subscription (which I've had since 95) as the local daily and weekly press is such crap  in France that reading foreign magazines is the only chance we have left to remain informed. Once you know a medium is biased, you can cross the statements with other sources and get a fair picture by yourself.

Personally I have experienced an interesting shift : le Figaro, which used to be a heavily prejudiced, right-leaning daily, now posts increasingly worthwile articles, whereas I have long stopped reading Le Monde, which has been constantly disappointing me over the last years.

When through hell, just keep going. W. Churchill
