One of the historical functions of little magazines is to serve as a training ground for young writers to develop their chops. The New Republic has also groomed some fine writers (and a few dingbats).
Well, the two statements are compatible and both are true. I think it's a fine magazine & better than it has been in decades (probably last period it was this strong was 1960s).

I actually read a fair bit of 1960s National Review in my misspent youth (mainly for the Guy Davenport, Joan Didion, Garry Wills & Hugh Kenner).
