Yup, they used to have great science articles, now they pimp propaganda.
20 or so years ago, I read an article in National Geographic about hunting dogs, particularly hounds. 4 times in the lengthy article, the so called expert from N.G. referred to "braying hounds", evidently not knowing that donkeys bray, dogs bay.
So much for N.G.'s expertise about nature, animals, language or anything else.
