Not surprising. They veered left instead of center right several years ago...now they reap the reward.

When a magazine veers left, it learns quickly that most liberals cannot read, or have no desire to.

Yes.

For the unawares, if the last time you picked up a copy of Readers Digest was in the 60s and you pick up a copy today you will find little similarity.

It is unfortunate when an American business folds, but in this case, RD has nowhere to look except inwards for any fault.

I expect that at some point, National Geographic will bite the dust. Its editorial staff certainly seems to have ceded all editorial content to enviro-wackos. NG resembles an agitprop tool of the global warming and “mankind is evil” crowd.

abridged too far?

LOL....liberal content sparsely scattered among the ads...I dropped my subscription years ago.

They had some interesting stuff sometimes in the past, but I haven’t read it in years. Probably the only person in history to have read Reader’s Digest as a teen...lol.

I left them when they started with all the liberal bs.

It would be interesting to know when Eugene Lyons dropped out of the picture. I got the distinct impression that he was the driving force for their conservatism.
