  I'm not sure, I asked a question which turns out was in fact answered with some form of, "Because it's pushing an agenda". All he did was inform me of the nature of that agenda, while another poster informed me of the source. Sometimes context does matter.

  > Reason is an American libertarian monthly magazine published by the Reason Foundation.[1] I don't think you should be dismissive, but you still should be aware that the magazine does promote a particular political point of view, and read their (often very good) articles aware of that context. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reason_(magazine) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reason_(magazine)

  Understanding the political position of Reason is important to understanding their articles. For example, elsewhere in this discussion someone mentions that poor roads are a problem. This isn't something that Reason would bring up because they see businesses as strong, self-sufficient organizations only held back by government interference, and admitting how much they depend on government-created infrastructure would damage that argument.
