I stick with I stopped reading The Atlantic because they keep pushing these rag newspaper articles. What's on the front page of The Atlantic right now? "Evangelicals Made a Bad Bargain With Trump" and "After Trump, the Republican Party May Become More Extreme." Garbage. I stick with Reuters, PBS NewsHour, and others because I want news and not think pieces.

    The Atlantic is a _monthly magazine_ with articles about "Literature, political science, foreign affairs, lifestyles". These articles are political science. For me, a European, they are a valuable analysis of your collapsing country, so I can get out of the way of the pieces as it crumbles down.

      And yet they still conflate themselves with news. “ We see it as part of our job to help keep our audience up-to-date on the most important news and current events across the United States and around the world. But the bigger part of our job is to work out—through reporting, argument, and debate—what that news means now, and what it could mean for the future.” —The Atlantic > These articles are political science.
