But several magazines I know of seem to have gotten noticeably worse. Smithsonian Magazine went from excellent to meh. The New Yorker isn't nearly as good as it used to be, although there's <i>something</i> worth reading in most issues. Even Sunset has way too much about how evil farmed salmon is.<br /><br />Even the fashion magazines are padded with "Michelle: Our New Style Icon!" and "Meet these brave pro-choice senators!" and "Hillary breaks the glass ceiling for all women!", and I really prefer my piffle free of politics. In Style was my last holdout, and it went last fall and I didn't bother renewing it.<br /><br />I don't read enough magazines to say whether it's universal, but it sure seems pervasive to me.jaedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03328666344764784829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907216.post-48125247206653943782017-06-09T00:59:40.132-05:002017-06-09T00:59:40.132-05:00I subscribed to SA from 1983 to the late 90s.
