I have written several times about the decline of science publications into propaganda outlets.
Scientific American is example #1 because it veered so far into advocacy journalism that it gave up all pretense to care about science.
Four years ago the magazine endorsed a presidential candidate for the first time, ostensibly because Donald Trump was so anti-science that the magazine had to stand up for the beleaguered discipline. This is ironic in many ways, not the least of which was that Trump’s biggest mistake during his four years was trusting people with alphabet acronyms after their names.

America would have been much better off if he hadn’t “trusted the science” because the “scientists” were government bureaucrats with a political agenda utterly divorced from the good of the country and its people.
Jay Bhattacharya is right, though, in noting that not one person will be persuaded by the magazine’s endorsement because the only people left reading the glossy trash are Harris supporters already.
