I read Foreign Policy, Foreign Affairs, and Washington Quarterly for international content, and I'll try to pick up The New Republic, The Atlantic, or The New Yorker from time to time for domestic content. The Nation is alright, but they wear their bias like a high school letter so take it with a grain of salt.

unarticulated criticism is beautiful. However, the word 'because' is more powerful than you think.

because it expresses a single point of view on all the problems. no analysis is being done or even an attempt to look on any single problem they report there from out-of-the-box.

i suggest you to read http://www.rbcdaily.ru/ especially their political overviews to fully understand what I'm talking about.

me only espeaka da english.

while i don't read 'foreign affairs' i suspect it would definitely have an american slant being it is funded by an organization trying to further understanding of american foreign policy interests. i would also suspect that the journal itself is impartial, and the bias you are talking about is that of the authors of each article.

foreign affairs is pro-us. whoever writes there expresses only a single point of view, the US one. it's not impartial.

same goes for rbcdaily, it's 100% Russian.

the council on foreign relations is an organization that mainly focuses on US foreign policy. nevertheless, i've read some articles by the CFR that are critical of certain US policy. Of the very few articles that i've read by the counsel, i found that they raise issues and concerns and potential solutions. comparitively speaking, the CFR is relatively impartial.

I've always felt that if you read time and the economist, you are going to get the best of both sides of the story. Although, the only reason i read time is because of the variety of articles in their magazine (ie i can read about psychology and politics in one issue).
