Give me a break.  I never said 'conspiracy' nor do I believe I implied
such.

At least you did go on to acknowledge that many magazines have agendas.
I see no reason for me to bother learning what each one has.  One thing
is sure, they survive by selling magazines. The decisions they make as
to how to sell their magazine set their agenda, whether it they state it
or not, it is set by those decisions.
