Customer Reviews of The New Republic

An excellent Magazine
I'm primarily a liberal person, but I love to read political magazines coming from all sides of the issue. The New Republic, though, is easily my favorite periodical. The political articles, the commentary on the arts, and the book reviews are always lucid and insightful. I'd say that overall, the magazine is 70% liberal and 30% conservative. In the words of respected political commentator Mickey Kaus, the magazine is "Left on welfare, right on warfare." This slogan oversimplifies things too much, since the magazine has featured numerous articles and editorials questioning past and present military endeavors. Nevertheless, it does display the fact that the magazine's agenda differs greatly from many other political periodicals. The magazine never follows the Democratic Party line verbatim, which seems to be what some liberal critics of the magazine want it to do. Unlike many other political periodicals, then, The New Republic appeals to a variety of liberals, moderates, and conservatives.

It is true that sometimes the articles seem high-brow, but this is no automatic reason to shun the magazine. After all, I think the same claim could be made against most political magazines. (Though, there are those magazines--such as Adbusters--that do everything possible to be anti-establishment. I think such magazines, however have very poor reporting standards).

In comparison to other moderate or liberal periodicals, this is what I think:

*It's more liberal than the Atlantic Monthly
*It's a little less liberal than the American Prospect
*It's moderate in comparison to The Nation

Generally a good liberal magazine
This is generally a well written liberal publication (much better than the NYT) but occasionally mired in pathological republican and Bush hatred.

Amazing Magazine
Though I oftentimes disagree with some of the articles written by The New Republic, I cannot help but keep coming back to this magazine when trying to gain better insight into current affairs. If for anything else , the quality of the writing in this magazine is AMAZING and its reporters obviously conduct painstaking research in writing every nuianced article. The group that writes for TNR are obviously some of the best journalistic writers around and its critique on intellecual matters and popular culture are itself enough reason to purchase a subscription to this magazine (if you don't like its politics). All in all , this is a fine magazine.
