Analysis / Bias
In review, National Affairs is a well-written academic conservative magazine. Most stories favor right-leaning interests and use minimally loaded language in headlines and articles. Example: Lessons in Regulatory Oversight. This article is written for an educated audience and does not use emotional words to sway the reader. It simply presents supporting evidence for the opinion. Since this is a print magazine, hyperlinked sourcing is not used; however, the article refers to where information comes from. In general, story selection almost always favors limited government conservative positions.
