National Geographic made a point of hiring individuals who had worked in the Clinton administration. Some had no background in the sciences other than law...but they are lending their left wing bias to the magazines perspective.
When I was a kid, and even when my son was a kid, National Geographic was a wonderful magazine. The organization even sponsored various expeditions, etc.
I quit subscribing when they began outrageous propaganda for wacky liberal causes.
I think the anti-hunting article on the black-tailed prairie dog pushed me over the edge. (For all those in (as Rush would say) Rio Lindo -- the black-tailed prairie dog would have been poisoned to extinction 30 years ago if hunters had not made it profitable for ranchers to protect prairie dog colonies instead.
No, just an astute observation and a prudent unwillingness to engage in grade school captiousness.
