Depending on how much of a creep your teacher is, you might simply go to your teacher, explain your misgivings, and ask them for their advice. That way, you look like you are giving the decision over to them. Ask them to suggest an alternate paper/magazine.

Is that an option?

Or , just tell the teacher that you signed up for a Politics course, not Brainwashing....

you might simply go to your teacher

I did the same thing in a college course. Both the papers I did received A grades. There was no other required coursework. My final grade was a "C."

Why? Because the professor claimed I had not received approval to use alternative, and non-liberal, source material. Yet I had received such permission.

Non-liberals are on the low-end of the power curve in education. Unless you know something or someone it's better to stay in the closet. But remember the oppression.

About the only way to win thse cases is to threaten massive publicity, and be able to back it up.
