Author's Review
Some will complain that the New Republic has too much of a bias. Well, maybe you don't understand, but that's WHY you read opinion! The New Republic sometimes is unfair, but that's what makes this such a great magazine, it's real opinions, and they don't dumb it down. Plus, they often put counterarguments side by side, so you can see both sides of the issue. If you really have a problem with bias, then watch TV (heck, it's boring, stale, and all they give you are the facts with very little bias). If you want to see someone getting flamed, knocked down, or praised, then read The New Republic. This is why I love this magazine, it's real news and opinions for people who can handle it. Other benefits: Few advertisements and VERY little pictures and color. This may detract you at first, but remember: The New Republic is for serious people, so don't buy this magazine if all you do is flip through pictures; THERE ARE NO PICTURES!! It's well worth the price, great little magazine. I personally don't read the cultural section or book reviews usually, so that's my only qualm.
