Colonel Flagg: This won't look good on your record.
Frank Burns: But Colonel, it's just Reader's Digest.
Colonel Flagg: Not if you eliminate the third, fifth, and sixth letters, then it's Red's Digest, comrade.
I was in my dentist office 2006...30 min early. I sat and read through his collection of Readers Digest (I hadn’t picked one up since early 1980s). Here was a couple of climate change articles...written to convey it as factual. I put them down as I went in (my BP was up).
About a year later, I noted readership was down. 2010, they declared a bankruptcy....saying readership was still ‘ok’.
National Geographic had the same issue...going heavily on climate change in the 2004 national election period (lot of people halted their subscriptions).
