Any DUers subscribe to Foreign Policy magazine or have comments
about it? Is it Liberal? Conservative?
I like the Economist but pissed that they support the war in Iraq.

1. I subscribe and read it voraciously. It's not slanted one way or another.

Some individual articles sometimes have a slight bias. Probably it leans toward a cautious Wilsonianism, as 80% of the foreign service does. But it's geared towards an informed, intelligent reader who can accept and counter think biases. I highly recommend it.

3. At that level of writing I think that position is less important
and there is a general willingness to allow contributors from across the spectrum, as long as said contributors are writing decent commentary rather than throwing up bilge-water.

The Economist is definitely a good quality news magazine, even though I disagree with many of the positions argued in it.

I like reading good quality articles which reflect positions with which I disagree, in fact I'd much rather read them than crass ones with which I agree.
