Great article. "The Atlantic makes right-wing ideas respectable to liberals, and when it publishes articles encouraging Americans to be terrified of Iran or to support boosting the military budget, it does so in a “prestige-y format, next to a bunch of poems, and well-written movie reviews [which give it] some gravitas. You can’t just dismiss it as right-wing fear-mongering.” #Journalism #Magazines #Politics #Culture https://www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-worst-magazine-in-america
