Anyone try to buy a Newsweek?
Self

Posted on 08/21/2012 6:10:12 PM PDT by matt04

Anyone try to buy a copy of the Newsweek with the "Hit the Road Obama" cover? I stopped in my local B&N to try to get one. They didn't have any on the shelf and the clerk said they sold out within a few hours of getting them in. Same with a a local CVS and Walgreens.

This is probably the most they have sold in years.

Well, Newsweek finally had a story that was factual and relevant for a change instead of their constant liberal pap. I wonder if they’ll realize that truth can sell news magazines or they’ll just go back to their yellow “journalism” and failure.

As well as National Review. I didn’t renew years ago when it became too left leaning.

A guy with some savvy...could buy the magazine and move it out of New York....to some place in Kansas. Reform the pitch and offer up a lean-Conservative opinions....and it’d likely be an easy item to market to Americans. I believe it’d move back into profitable status with six months and it’d prove a number of points.


Let’s do it. I got $.50. We’re halfway there.

I wouldn’t put it past the dems to put it out to their coven members to buy every magazine to keep it from the public view.

If only one copy got into the hands of a normal American, that cover will be available world wide in high resolution by next week.

If they don't want to sell more copies of their moribund magazine, that's their choice.

It’a not only Joy Behar without makeup, it’s Joy Behar
without makeup and sporting a leather slave collar.
An unbeatable one-two punch!
Well, she is pushin’ 70, but she stills looks like hell!

I’m calling this “Chick-fil-A Syndrome”. Tell folks the truth, and you get a big audience.

Nuke the Stalinist dog-collared bitch from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

I was thinking of that poor girl in “Absence of Malice” running around the neighborhood grabbing up all the newspapers with her picture on it.

WHY?????? She is a slightly younger version of Helen Thomas - and no, you don’t need to post her picture either! I just had dinner.

Know it well. When I was in high school, my older sister was in Playboy and my mother and I ran all over town buying them up.

You'll never get it back from Barry Diller. Despite the half-clever cover move to enhance print sales, the Newsweak editorial board doesn't have a prayer of stopping Diller from going all-digital (hint: reducing staff by about 60%).

And you can do that right now without the Newsweak brand...
