I found the cover story of that issue of Geographic to be nothing more than an editorial, intended as a salvo in the evolution/creation foment. I agree with the premise of this post: the failure of the mag to acknowledge evolution's evidentiary difficulties, in effect, turned the mag into a rag. After 30 years, no more for me. Too shortsighted and polemical.

I had 31 years in, but the Global Warming and "FARC is Wonderful" articles did it for me.

I wonder how many other long-time subscribers are dropping the magazine, and if they are recruiting enough new Green Party activist readers to make up the difference?

Please state, in your own words, the "evidentiary difficulties" you feel that National Geographic has failed to acknowledge.

I quit renewing my subscription to National Geographic a few decades ago. It lost its objectivity – along with Smithsonian Magazine.
