Merriam-Webster offers several definitions for Geography. The conventional definition that I learned at school is: “an area of study that deals with the location of countries, cities, rivers, mountains, lakes, etc.”. A broader definition is “a science that deals with the description, distribution, and interaction of the diverse physical, biological, and cultural features of the earth’s surface”.

The National Geographic magazine long ago exceeded the original boundaries implied by its name. It has pushed Evolution even longer than I can remember, funding and frequently publishing finds of the Leakey family in Africa at least as far back as the early 1960s, for example. There is no question that NG pushes a Liberal agenda through environmentalism and non-geographic topics.

Note, just because National Geographic has been sold into the hands of the non-scientific Liberals in no way means a star is not a star just because the Liberal biased National Geographic remarked that a star is a star. The same can be said about a great many scientific topics, including current evolutionary theory. Likewise, just because National Geographic promoted pseudo-science such as Anthropogenic Global Warming conjecture does not indicate such conjecture has anything to do with actual science versus pseudo-science.
