I'm told by my scientist friends that many are including agreement to the Global Warming gobbly-gook in their articles because if they don't, they don't get grants.

The Smithsonian Magazine has been on the left side for a great many decades.

I canceled my subscription to the Civil War Times when they ventured into the realm of PC idiocy. Military History Quarterly is headed in that direction with their positive views of Obama and liberalis.

I dumped my membership and subscription years ago, same with National Geographic. I couldn’t stand the political crap they were sneaking into everything.
Particularly the Gore-Bull Warming crap.

The author went astray when she departed from history and tried too hard to make the article topical. I’m surprised she didn’t throw in the “enlightened Greek views on bisexuality” while she was at it.

Yup, I cancelled both National Geographic and Smithsonian years ago when they went full-tilt political starting with the global warming crap. Just like this article, they slip a little in here and there.

What took you so long?
We dumped both of them 26 years ago.

Can you recommend a GOOD history or archeology magazine?
Something that I will not find myself hurling across the room and scaring the cat more then once a quarter?

I stopped reading Smithsonian back in the mid 90s, after their
blatant attempt to describe the Hiroshima bombing as wrong, bad, America is evil, etc.

“I dumped my...subscription years ago...”
I did the same with Wired, Popular Science, and Popular Mechanics. They relentlessly pimped Gore-Bull warming, regardless of its relevance to the subject of any particular article.

You just didn’t ‘think’ at all.

I'm cancelling my subscription and a gift subscription that I give my son. Good for you.
The fallacy of course is that Americans & Europeans reject every aspect of other cultures which is obvious a bogus claim. What we object to is the elimination of out culture to accommodate all other culture over ours. If they want to hold onto their culture, then they should have remained where they came from, and I for one am ready to send them on their merry way.

It resonates today, when you have factions that want to throw everybody out [of their countries].
The author also seems to think that what was good at a given time in history is good at any other time.
Old Testament: Be fruitful and multiply.
The apostle Paul: Be unmarried, like me (if you can).

Good for you. Scientific American went left decades ago. It constantly pushes the “Global Warming” hoax.
