I noticed in the last few years that The Altantic's front page was almost constant negativity, fear-mongering, click-bait. Surely there is much bad going on in the world but I just couldn't handle their style. So I cut it completely out of my news. I wonder if it was tied to this.
For similar perspectives but more even coverage I've been preferring The Nation, New Republic, and, to a lesser degree, Jacobin.

- Balgair 3y agoThe Atlantic has always been a rag. So much so it was lampooned in the montage sequence in 1984's Ghostbusters. Even back then, 40 years ago, people knew what a nosy-Nancy sponge it was. So much so that Aykroyd, Ramis, and Moranis thought it would be funny to poke fun in a brief shot mushed into the movie, complete with a caricature cover. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwKR_y93izs&t=115s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwKR_y93izs&t=115s
