Liberal vs. center/left

[edit]

Our source for the publication's ideology is this Politico article. It says the publication has a liberal editorial point-of-view. It doesn't say center/left. Our article needs to reflect what the source says, so it should say liberal unless another source is provided that says center/left, in which case we can include that too.

The magazine IS center/left. It's not nearly as liberal as Mother Jones or the Nation or something. Here are a few places characterizing it as center/left. But if you think it's necessary to call it as one thing or another you have to write it like "according to TK." It's an opinion, not a strictly verifiable factual matter like how many editors it has or what its circulation is. Flyte35 (talk) 18:42, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The term for WM's politics is "neo-liberal", rather than just "center-left". Reference: https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/1982/09/05/a-neo-liberals-manifesto/21cf41ca-e60e-404e-9a66-124592c9f70d/ . The term is used by both proponents and opponents. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.104.153.129 (talk) 01:33, 30 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
