When I was 11–12 years old, I paged through National Geographic each month looking for pictures of naked women from African or South American tribes, to satisfy my adolescent curiosity.
Somewhere in the last couple of decades, NG decided to become politically sensitive and not print pictures of native women in situ, presumably to kow-tow to the parents who didn’t want their kids to see how the natives really lived.
So while I still get the magazine – some of the articles are interesting – every year when I get the renewal notice, I wonder if it’s worth it.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Fox tried to influence NG; if that’s the case, I won’t renew.
