I'll offer a counter opinion. I subscribed to the New Yorker for almost a year. The New Yorker leans hard left politically and it was really tiring. I consider myself a moderate progressive and got tired of the condescending tone that most writers used against any person or group that wasn't like them. I feel like it's okay to have an opinion that's different than mine but you don't need to ridicule other people and shove it down their throats constantly. The majority of the articles they published were political.

There were the occasional gems but not enough to justify me continuing my subscription and wading through each issue. The good stories show up on longform.org anyway.

I cancelled my subscription after enduring about a year of issues dominated by articles on gun control and anti-Trump. There is the occasional gem but as a European, living in Europe, the editorial policy became monotonous and lacking self-awareness. Oh and they never miss an opportunity to use the word coordinate.

I think you meant to say "coördinate". :^) I've been a subscriber for almost two decades now. If I had to subscribe to just one magazine, The New Yorker would be it.
