- PM_me_your_math 4y agoIt has always been "news" for Brooklynite hipsters. I turned down a job with them after the interviewer asked me "you are a democrat, right?"
- cmrdporcupine 4y agoWell, it literally started as a Montreal hipster magazine. And yes, it fairly early moved to NYC but it was still kind of an indie cultural/hipster magazine for stuff like funny fashion "dos and don'ts" and music and cultural scene stuff. It wasn't really left-political at all. The shift to an American liberal news orientation happened post-9/11, and probably in the context of Occupy Wall St etc.
