Scientific American has been pushing a liberal social agenda for as long as I can remember. Back when anyone cared, there wasn't an issue that would go by without some article whose content amounted to "nuclear war is bad, unilateral disarmament is good". The recent ad hominem attack against Bjorn Lomborg, the author of The Sheptical Environmentalist, was along the same lines. When he posted their attacks on his web site so that he could respond in detail (since they had given him only a page and a half in the magazine to do so) they threatened him with copyright violation!
