not scientific or scholarly but propaganda. Smithsonian and Scientific American were both taken over, editorially by the people of the Koch network. all ot took was money to take control.

Neither publication has been credible since they both became quite racist and busy re-writing and interpreting history.
The changes happened in the 90s and were quite noticeable.

The worst offenses in articles are the ones downplaying the role of fossil fuel in climate change.

The 2nd worst offenses are in history and cultural reporting and how the mags are now used to promote dishonest conservative talking points.

It is like NPR before 2001 and NPR now. NPR Now is now just another Koch propaganda operation, less than 25% of funds are tax money so the private money took control of content and now it is anti-democratic, racist and as Republican as Fox news, they just use more refined language and instead of attacking ideas they dislike they use their nasty voiced talkers to oversell them knowing they are creating opposition to feminism. LGBTQ, religious and skin color by being so snarky. It is like an inside joke.
