The Realist

Editor: Paul Krassner

Publisher: Paul Krassner

In any case, it certainly blurred the lines between fact and fiction--and one could argue that The Realist was one of the first publications that offered misinformation as an avenue for political critique. Blurry lines sharpen the absolute buzzkill of American Society under cheap political will.

  Well, lucky me, Ethan Persoff already did the work of archiving this iconic magazine! This is the only source you'll need for The Realist. If it ever goes down, I'll pick up the mantle. In the meantime, please enjoy Paul Krassner's spicy takes and antics.
