It is a weekly publication with good writers. Meaning: it is rarely, if ever, sensational, and covers prominent issues around the globe so I stay informed after about 60 minutes of reading. I still haven't figured out which way the editorial staff swings because they do a good job of keeping explicit bias out, but they seem to be left of center.
I also subscribe to The Atlantic. They are solid long-form reporting, but occasionally they get a really far-out article.
I used to get The Baffler, great out-of-the-box ideas, but the content was too depressing.
