What is the most right-wing thing you subscribe to?

[LoZoccolo]

My dad subscribes to Reader's Digest off and on, despite the fact that I think it has a pretty conservative slant. For any of you who know what I'm talking about, I think it's the length of the articles that attracts him.

For me it's Investor's Business Daily, which is waaaaaaaay obviously right-wing. They used to have a little space for left vs. right where they'd have two opposing editorials and I noticed that that's recently gone. But man oh man do they ever know how to lay out their stock pages. If you know what I'm talking about then you'd probably agree.

1. Don't subscribe to anything

Get my news from here and indies. Other than that,, it is all music.

[bobthedrummer]

17. I use the public library and the Internet too-no other expense outside of

cable modem service.

[DeepGreen]

24. I be surprised if brick and mortar libraries still exist in 20 yrs. eom

[bobthedrummer]

25. The destruction of paper is well underway, that's true.

:hi:

[senseandsensibility]

2. My evil teachers' union mag?

Just kidding. I don't subsribe to anything even slightly right wing, far, far lefty that I am. Well, this country decorating magazine that I subscribe to seems kind of suspicious, but I think it's all done "under the radar", if you know what I mean.

[Locut0s]

3. Nothing However:

I personally don't subscribe to anything. However we also have issue of Readers Digest lying around. My grandparents signed us up to RD as a gift. However it never gets read and just piles up in the corner. I agree that it is pretty conservative, at least by Canadian standards.

[NMDemDist2]

4. ROFL AutoWeek magazine

we also get Discovery, Astronomy and the Nation

pretty radical huh??

[Dr.Phool]

5. I get US News and World Report

But thats only because it came free with my Salon Premium subscription. I rarely read it. Just throw it away when it arrives.

[Smarmie Doofus]

6. The Catholic News

At least I think it's RW. I get it free, I think, as a consequence of my son being enrolled at one time in Catholic school.

Other than that... Newsweek. Third place: teachers' union rag.

[JoMama49]

13. I don't SUBscribe to anything RW, but I do AScribe to a few

things that are called RW, but which I don't really think they have the corner on:

Marriage and commitment -- and I don't care if you are gay or straight, I believe in marriage, family, children and committed relationships. I believe casual uncommitted sex demeans us as human beings.

Self-Respect and modesty -- especially for us female types. I know it's old fashioned, but I still believe that female modesty and setting limits is what ensures male honor - always has always will.

Honesty, Responsibility, Accountability, admitting we make mistakes, apologizing and fixing, making amends and learning from our mistakes.

Humility, kindness, charity, patience, fidelity, loyalty and friendship!

Somehow, some way, these things are now associated with the RW in this country. Seems ironic, doesn't it? I believe most of us, the real moral majority in this country, no matter our politics, ascribe to most of these things. It's just that the RW thinks they have the corner on the morality market, and they have labeled us lefties immoral and degenerate.

As long as the rightees get away with touting this myth, the more divided of a nation we are. Those of us who still believe in real morality need to find our common ground and launch and debunk the myth that the RW have morals, while the libs do not!

Off my soapbox now,
JoMama.

[LoZoccolo]

21. Marraige is legalized rape; modesty is patriarchal sex slavery of women.

Just kidding! :+

[Smarmie Doofus]

23. Get back on, Moma....

Agree w. most ( paragraph 4 and 5,... and I'll ad 6.... esp) of the above. That's in part why I had the boy in parochial school.... that and the public schools here ( NYC) are generally not good.

CN: Haven't really read it... truth be told; agnostic here so the content really does not hold my interest.

Plus the RC church's role as a political agent is profoundly offensive to me.

Not very original idea: how 'bout sifting the good stuff from this and other belief systems and chucking the rest?

[jdj]

26. Reader's Digest.

I like all the jokes and funny parts.

And I like the "drama in real life" parts, and the stories about "real life heroes". I voted for that guy that pulled the woman off the subway track right before she got hit this year.

I put it in my Dad's name, he's a repuke, and I probably won't renew it, but I enjoy it okay.

edit: but I am someone who enjoys going to the doctor and standing in long lines at the grocery store because I get to read all the magazines for free. I am a closet magazine junkie, not a closet repuke.

[LoZoccolo]

29. On the Roman Catholic Church's role as a political agent's offensivness...

They should just sit on the sidelines and ignore politics, like they did while the Nazis came to power.

[Smarmie Doofus]

31. Some dispute your premise....

that the church was neutral toward the Nazis. Some historians see enabling and collaboration... at least among some elements of the hierarchy.

Are they delusional? Anti-catholic?

And many a "heretic" ... slain, tortured, burned at the stake..... down through the ages, might have preferred to see the church on the sidelines. Understandable, wouldn't you say?

[pdxmom]

7. The local paper

After that, I guess it would be TV Guide. The rest is nothing but left, including my husband's extremist Electric Auto Association newsletter.

[Solly Mack]

8. the right wing of a chicken

[Cuban_Liberal]

9. The 'Chicago Tribune'.

Great reporting and sports coverage, although their editorial board blows.

:)

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

35. Same here - online only

Eric Zorn is one of my all-time-favorite columnists, and the local news is very useful, though Tom Skilling's weather reports are almost incomprehensible.

On a related note, I didn't realize until that Enron ex-CEO Jeffrey Skilling is Tom's brother until the story was reported about Jeff wandering around NYC in a paranoid funk.

[havocmom]

10. ummm, the phone book?

I live in a tough 'hood for a liberal! :P

[Donkeyboy75]

11. The Economist

[susanna]

32. Didn't the Economist endorse Kerry for Prez? n/t

[Donkeyboy75]

37. The endorsement was, to quote, "reluctant."

To me, it's a classical free market conservative publication. Bush is certainly not a fiscal conservative. The Economist is also rabidly anti-Rumsfeld. I don't remember a recent publication that hasn't strongly suggested he resign.

[amjucsc]

38. I still can't fathom it's support for the war in Iraq...

Which was, about the only reason it didn't endorse Kerry wholeheartedly.

[ET Awful]

12. Does cable TV count? :) n/t

[vixengrl]

14. How about Time magazine?

When there's a piece by Krauthammer in it, I read it out loud to hubby with appropriate strangling noises and snide comments thrown in. We were getting "This Week" for awhile, but it was useless, whereas Time is sometimes good for encapsulating the week that was.

My grandparents used to get the Readers Digest, and I think it was the little humorous stuff and the "More Picturesque Speech" stuff I'd get a kick out of, when I was a kid. The articles would sometimes just kill me, though. Lots of "Dale was a typical suburban student and football jock with aspirations of being a lawyer like his father when he was struck with a terrible tragedy that only his good sense and faith in God pulled him through..." I think there was an article in the early 1980's that Whittaker Chambers was *so* a solid American hero.

15. nada

[LoZoccolo]

16. Apparently I'm not the only Democrat that subscribes to IBD.

Investor's Business Daily has meetups - if you know much about it you know that it has a cult following surrounding the method of investment it's geared toward (like I was saying, beautiful stock pages, among other things - it makes up for it's right-wing slant by far). Now if you look inside the Detroit meetup section, you'll notice one of the members' pictures has him in a John Kerry "Real Deal" t-shirt!

[Taxloss]

18. The magazine I used to be third in command of.

Now I'm a fairly regular consultant for them. After I left my full-time job it was taken over by a RW prick. He was ousted just before Christmas, I am pleased to say.

Oh, and The Economist, which is so intelligent I consider it to be an honorary part of the left wing.

[kodi]

19. elders of zion watch

not for everyone, i admit.

[CBHagman]

20. The Washington Post!

I just found out that the Post Corporation gave $100,000 to Bush's first inaugural. :puke:

[UTUSN]

22. Faux Propaganda Network

But also MSRNC, CNN, and Fascist Friday Washington Journal. It's in a Dish package. Sure wish they would allow a la carte. But also get Free Speech t.v. there.

[two gun sid]

27. Horseman and Fair World

n/t

[JVS]

28. Car and Driver, because my only other subscription is to Road and Track...

and R&T doesn't have that bloviating windbag Brock Yates writing a 1 page editorial each weak.

[Debs]

30. I subscribe to

The Nation, In these times, Mother Jones and the Progressive, none of which are to the right of Jane Fonda

[RandomKoolzip]

33. I used to read whatreallyhappened.com everyday....

....until I got kinda sick of the implied anti-semitism.

Other than that, I read The Chicago Sun-Times and The Chicago Tribune's editorials, which are NEVER written by anyone remotely leftist. Bob Novak is a evil fuck, but it's good to know what the right's talking points are every week.

And occasionally I'll read parts of Newsweek before I throw it across the room in anger.

[Contrary1]

34. The Indianapolis Star n/t

[Annus Horribilis]

36. The New Republic

Which isn't very right-wing, but more neo-liberal.

[amjucsc]

39. I don't subscribe to it...

But I read the National Review fairly reguarly. Good to know what the other folks are thinking.

The Economist is probably the most right wing thing I take seriously.

[durutti]

40. I can't afford to subscribe to anything, but I read lots of RW stuff.

Particularly unorthodox ones -- American Conservative, Reason, Liberty -- because they frequently feature items of interest to progressives.
