I considered it to be "normal", neither right or left. When I started to subscribe to it in the 2000s I noticed that it was not the same publication I grew up reading. If a stupid 30 year old (me) could tell the difference than everyone should have been equally aware of their political slant.

I decided to subscribe to Time but that magazine and Rolling Stone were all the same by 2010. I refused to spend my hard earned and limited savings on BS GOP rags. I even thought George Will was reasonable for a long time. I am an idiot!
