Summarized from more than one independent rater, including AllSides and Ad Fontes Media. We do not rate outlets ourselves.
Founded in 1865 by abolitionists, The Nation is the oldest continuously published weekly magazine in the United States and the most established voice of the American left. It has never pretended to neutrality and describes itself as a journal of opinion.
Its defenders point out that a magazine which states its politics on the masthead is more honest than one that claims none, and that it has broken real stories from a position of open advocacy. Its critics argue that starting from a conclusion makes reporting that contradicts it unlikely to appear.
