“The Atlantic doesn’t want to be on the wrong end by losing subscribers.”
I see no evidence of that. The Atlantic is run by true believers, just like CNN and MSNBC. Do you see any of those outlets trying to do what makes financial sense?

The Atlantic is majority owned by Lauren Jobs.
The Atlantic was the first major media outfit that called for the sacking of Chris Cuomo over his corrupt handling of his brother's malfeasance. And that was the end of Chris Cuomo.
They don't walk the same line as CNN all the time.
