The Atlantic (formerly known as The Atlantic Monthly) is an American magazine founded in Boston in 1857. Originally created as a literary and cultural commentary magazine, its current format is of a general editorial magazine, though it has a strong right wing orientation. Written with content focusing on foreign affairs, politics, and the economy, as well as cultural trends, it says it is primarily aimed at a target audience of "thought leaders".[1]

Prof. Norman Finkelstein, discussing former leftist Christopher Hitchen's defection from The Nation, "a frills-free liberal magazine", to The Atlantic, called the latter the "the well-heeled house organ of Zionist crazies".[2]
