Congressman Dan Crenshaw recommended the National Review in one of his podcasts and it’s been awesome so far. Great in depth reporting with facts not random “sources”. Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Glad to be back. *2026-07-05, version 28.5* 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? ### 5/5 — National Review does the research. *2026-04-26, version 28.5* National Research does the research and seeks the truth no matter where it takes it. Yes, it has a limited government, liberty oriented, conservative/libertarian perspective but doesn’t sugarcoat information or facts to promote that perspective. ### 4/5 — Still here *2026-03-17, version 28.5* Just finished Dan mclaughlin’s don’t burn own fortifications. It’s articles like these that I save them and take notes. I frequently return to saved articles to build and reinforce a body of knowledge. His military metaphor was apt. ### 3/5 — Love the writing, not a fan of the app *2026-03-13, version 28.5* I am a fan of the writing of National Review. No question about it. I am not a fan of this app because of the ads. I’d really like to be able to pay to get rid of the ads. The quality of the ads is so poor, they are stuck in readers faces in a most annoying manner. I’m a fan of NR why am I made to feel that you are selling me to the lowest bidder. ### 5/5 — Depth *2026-03-12, version 28.5* Get in depth stories on a variety of topics. Timely information from writers with expertise and well informed opinions. ### 5/5 — Premier conservative journal both under Buckley and Lowery *2025-08-24, version 28.4* As a new immigrant to America in 1967, I started reading NR two years into learning the English language. A relative had introduced me to the magazine and the NYS Conservative Party. Still registered conservative, still reading NR on line…. The hard copy back then was a treasure to hold. It was the Premiere conservative journal both under Buckley and Lowery ! It still Is ….
