The magazines. 'Scientific American' never endorsed a political candidate 
until Biden in 2020 and Harris in 2024. That's not science. 'National 
Geographic' was dumbed down over the years and now doesn't even exist as a 
print magazine afaik. The editors and staff writers were fired and it's 
now a freelance effort ultimately owned by Disney.
