TNC's presence in The Atlantic was so huge it distorted people's sense of the magazine. Now that TNC is gone, the centrist nature of the publication is much clearer.https://twitter.com/froomkin/status/1130929738720174081 …

A mild dissent: I think a lot of interesting work on the right is being done by magazines that do envision a new center, or at least a new center-right, as precisely what the emergent politics of the moment might make possible.

Meaning that the would-be populist and nationalist intellectuals are arguably closer to *a* center (as, on the campaign trail at least, was Trump) than were the conservative scribblers of 2012 or so.

My issue with this is that magazines are not required to be cutting edge. They are also not required to represent some emerging consensus. In effect, if you are right The Atlantic could be the a truly conservative magazine -- a statement of what might have been.

You’re right. But if you’re a bigshot magazine editor in NYC things are pretty good and you’re not around the inequality and living paycheck to paycheck crisis. They don’t feel the pain that the majority of society is.
