See O'Sullivan's First Law:

"All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing."

Same period that National Geographic and Reader’s Digest shifted. All started to occur around late 1990s.

Go out and ask people when was the last time that they looked at any of those three magazines. Each has lost a large segment of their base. I haven’t touched a Rolling Stone since 1998, and NG/RD since around 2004.

There was plenty of political content as far back as the mid-70s, when I was a subscriber as a teenager.

I wonder if Dr Hook would still like to get their picture on the cover?

A little before MTV stopped being about playing popular music. Maybe during the Clinton Administration.
