Talk:National Journal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I attempted (successfully) to verify the claim about three National Magazine Awards, but the website for the awards (http://www.magazine.org/Editorial/National_Magazine_Awards/Searchable_Database/index.cfm#results) does not offer a way to directly link to the results (you can search on National Journal to at least verify the three awards, though). So I'm not sure how to add the cite that this article needs.

The authors are not Conservatives. National Journal is a Non Partisan Magazine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.88.245.113 (talk) 03:41, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Non-partisan or not?

Does anyone have any factual information regarding the partisanship or non-partisanship of the National Journal? My understanding is that the editorial staff hold a variety of political opinion across the generic left-right spectrum. --Davidp (talk) 16:47, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

They're a far-right publication, end of story. 71.203.209.0 (talk) 20:41, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

The National Review would rightly be considered a conservative publication. But the National Journal is really highly regarded as non-partisan. Same with The Hotline. If you in fact meant the National Journal I'd be pretty curious what you'd cite as evidence of "far-right", especially compared to National Review, Weekly Standard, etc. --JayHenry (talk) 23:56, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Their rather suspicious ratings of the "most liberal" members of Congress sure points in that direction. Apparently the best way to get a high liberal rating on their list isn't to vote in a partical way, but to be a Democratic candidate for President. 71.203.209.0 (talk) 02:12, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay, but one list is not a particularly good measure of an entire publication. It might be appropriate to add a section to the article about 1) the prominence of this list 2) the concerns with its methodology. This is not sufficient evidence for the insinuation that the entire publication is "far-right" certainly not considering the vast amount of genuinely conservative media. --JayHenry (talk) 02:34, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
