If that's a rhetorical question and you assume 'The Nation' is the only periodical I read because I post a lot of stories from their website, then it is specious reasoning you've used. Shame on you if that is the case, since you seem more erudite than many of your compatriots in the neo-conservative camp who post here.
If it's a serious query, then yes, I do read other magazines regularly, like 'The Economist'. However, I like to post articles from 'The Nation' because they present issues and viewpoints that are not often heard in mainstream North American media. Which is a side-effect of the monopolization of the news media by a select group of coporations. Whoever controls the means of communication controls what issues can be discussed and what viewpoints are expressed. Any threats to the free flow of information should be a concern to every person.
