No it’s not.. Newsweak’s print edition is done. ‘Going digital’ is their way of saying ‘we suck for having shilled for 0bama the past four years’. Even Newsweak has a cover-up for their own misguided mission.

Yep, Newsweek has been the satire of a serious news magizine for at least 30 years.

LMAO!!

Sad thing is, there was a time when journalism was actually good. They told you the facts as they knew them.

It wasn’t propaganda.

Newsweek magazine announced today that it will cease publication at the end of the year.

At least there will be time for one last go at their annual "Christianity is wrong" issue near Christmas. I'd have to bet this year it will be that Jesus Christ was pro gay marriage.

I know of a dentist's office that will probably get around to putting the last printed issue of Newsweek out in the reception room sometime in 2015.

And like all the other issues, no one will read it.

I thought the sub-title would be “Women and Minorities hardest hit”.

Satire giveaway was the hugely exaggerated readership number. Newsweak hasn’t had 200 subscribers in years!

Not satire. They’re ending physical publication.

Satire and fact are indistinguishable.

I'd like to see a photoshop of the Newsweek "We Are All Socialists Now" cover that said "We Are All Unemployed Now."

Good riddance.
