I don't think it's right for you to be downvoted; this sort of information is welcome. My view of the particulars, having subscribed to Reason for a few years and read it for years before that, is that Reason is a testament to the reality that broken clock politics are real. In other words, people who fund things that you and I might normally not like also occasionally fund great things. It's a hard thing to understand. The US government funds NPR and the national park system. I imagine that most people who like those things aren't big fans of the things to which the lion's share of the money goes (wars of aggression and enriching crony capitalists). But Reason magazine? Shit man, I'll stand behind Reason all day. It's a wonderful publication. Kudos to them for doing good things with bad money.
