Yes, we need those magazines. We, America, need as many diverse viewpoints as possible. We need conservative voices to question liberal opinions, and vice-versa. We need secular voices to challenge religious voices, and vice-versa. Etc, etc.

If we ever devolve into a situation where only one viewpoint is heard, then we have entered a dangerous and anti-freedom realm like the old Soviet Union, where the party line was the only line, like it or not.

Perhaps you haven't noticed but we are emerging from such an era, not devolving into one. The left has held sway for the last fifty years at least. Conservative radio and especially conservative TV news and publications are rather recent in the larger scheme of things.
