Ads in appI am a National Review subscriber and love the content. However I find it much more pleasant to read in a browser because even when logged in as a subscriber I am subjected to ads from Temu and dating websites which are not consistent with the NR brand.

Subscription confusionMy subscription ends with the June, 2025 issue, but I can’t read I can’t login. I realize the June edition comes out in April, but I don’t understand why my subscription is labeled as “Expired” .

biased beyond beliefthey don’t even try to hide the bias

GreatExcellent conservative news, updated frequently, good news app

Glad to be back.I read the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe, WAPO, NYT, andBloomberg every day. NR has the best essays of any of them. At this time, it is important to evaluate what they are all saying as I contemplate how I am going to vote. What is your?
