I have be a subscriber to National Geographic since mid 1990 when I be back in Iran . I remember receive this good magazine with picture be marked or censor by postal authority in islamic Iran yet I love it . however , this magazine have really lose its once proud tradition of present fair and true scientific contents and have replace it with some liberal agenda drive stuff like promote nonsense like global warming , world peace and get anti-u . s rhetoric\/politics involve when write about other nation like they past issue that be dedicate to Iran . all in all , this magazine be good in term of first rate photography . 3\/5
