Yes, and it's also a source of some of the best contemporary writing from the U.S. and elsewhere. Whaddaya gonna do? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's always represented the consensus of centrist thought, but it also allows dissidents willing to push the boundaries of that discursive fairway (you may appreciate this cover story aimed squarely at its élite readership, for example).
do love the johnstones though

I'd say this used to be true. I was subscriber of the Atlantic for more than a decade, but I don't think this has been the case since Powell-Jobs acquired them in 2019. I no longer subscribe to this magazine as it is full of political hit pieces and blatant propaganda

Haven't we pretty much already proved that your political ideas are irrelevant and uninformed? Isn't it kind of pointless to say you did or did not subscribe to any given journalist outlet for any given amount of time? Shouldn't I probably disregard what you do or do not consider propaganda and "hit-pieces"?
