“Every Magazine including National Geographic, and Smithsonian have turned hard left. My wife cut subscriptions to her Women’s magazines including Good Housekeeping when they turned against President Trump. Who needs to pay for that left wing crap?”
Years ago, when I began cancelling and not renewing subscriptions to mags, I had subscribed to for decades, my wife said how will you keep up on what’s happening.
I told her Free Republic and the internet. She just grinned.
Since, we elected President Trump and actually during the 2016 campaign, she stopped renewing the subscriptions to her mags.
Now, she is at zero subscriptions like me.
Besides her internet searches, she has 3 SIL’s, two nieces and a lot of conservative friends, who ping or copy her when they feel that she might be interested in an article or news.
We cut the cable 3 years ago and never watch any fake news.
Also, we have nixle and weather alerts to inform us if anything is happening that might involve us. Family, friends and other close people to warn us if PG&E may cut our power.
SHAME, at onetime both Nat. Geo. & Smithsonian were pretty decent
We had been subscribers to Smithsonian for 30+ years. It was a great history magazine until the editors turned political. I have not paid for Smithsonian since 2016, but still receive the magazine every month. They must think it is better to give it away for free to keep their circulations numbers up.
30 years ago, I once had 19 subscriptions to various magazines. I now have 4 and when time comes to renew, it will go to 2.
Too damn many of them that are not supposed to be political have become increasing biased against Republicans, Conservatives, and gun owners. And this was before Trump. Trump Derangement Syndrome has killed off many a magazine to me forever.
