:There's been some reverting going on between whether the Nation is "leftist" or "progressive". Please refer to the discussion above. To summarize, there are arguments for both (though I prefer leftist because it is a broader term and the Nation's writer have a range of views) that was ultimately settled because the magazine calls itself "the flagship of the left" an editor just removed this citation with the editor summary that the link did not support the claim.  It certainly does.
