Artist unknown.
Another slip has been drawn from the biography jar. Favorite magazine? I’ve subscribed to a few, neglected many. My magazines mostly become end table décor. I appreciate “The Economist” because of its global perspective and regular attempts at objectivity. Bias in the news has reached levels that mostly keep me away from domestic news sources. Liberal or conservative, local pundits bring too many axes to bear as they hatchet away at their subjects. For example, I love Charles Krauthammer, but let’s be real: Is it really possible that Obama has never done anything right during his entire term? I did read Entertainment for awhile. I like to keep up on my Who Doctors and other favorite TV characters. I did read Analog. Science fiction short stories delivered to the house are always a win.
All told, I prefer comic books to news magazines. I avoid entertainment magazines because I never have enough time for my to-do list as it is. When I read, I read books. I also surf the net, link by link tracing Ebola’s progress. The net has subsumed my magazines, I suspect. Readers: Are you reading magazines? Are you reading more or fewer magazines? If you are not reading magazines, why not? This could be your journal topic for the day. Or not.
