The Atlantic has consistently done a good job of balancing perspectives, at least along certain axes. They were the first mainstream/prestige publication I can recall that dared to criticize the illiberal swing the left was taking, during a period when there was quite a chilling effect around doing so (with Haight's Coddling of the American Mind article, in 2015). They're exactly the publication I'd expect to publish something that breaks with the groupthink infecting the rest of the industry.
