If you feel so strongly about it, you should try it some time.
Newsweek might go left stream?
Shouldn’t this article have been written 45 years ago?
I don’t think it is possible to go any farther left than they already are.
I find it hard to believe no conservative was willing to offer $2 for Newsweek;I suspect a arranged sale with all the usual Democratic Party dishonesty and securing of closets(so the skeletons stay hidden).
Newsweak’s strategy must be to tack left and... drop off the face of the earth.
“...new connections to partisan politics” ?
I needed a good laugh this morning.
Incestuous Gubamint
Just what the Founding Fathers Did NOT have in mind.
Doesn’t bother me. Is anyone really worried that the magazine will get MORE liberal? Readership has been tumbling for the past 10 years, so if they move further to the left, they’re going to fold, anyway.
The only thing that will change is that now everyone will know that Newsweek is a fully bought and paid for subsidiary of the democrat party.
Wow, that photo sure can’t be the Jane Harman that I have been seeing in photos and on TV here in So Cal these last 15 years. Looks like she invested a ton of money in plastic surgery. It would be good to see that photo along side one from a few years ago. Where or where have all of the wrinkles gone. And just look at those cheek implants.
Newsweek is definitely worth more than $1 dollar.
Harmon should have to pay taxes on the difference between the fair market price and that $1 dollar. It’s essentially a gift.
Look, I may not like taxation, but if a Lefty is involved, they do believe in it, so pay the taxes like a good little Marxist lackey and be done with it.
New connections? There's nothing new here, just new ownership, same ol' partisan politics as before.
Everybody -- everybody -- knows that, if it is not explicitly conservative or libertarian, every output of the American media is left-liberal or socialist.
That's been the case of Newsweak and parent WaPo for decades. The only change is that Newsweak will shift from being a generic left-liberal rag with a socialist leaning to being a partisan Democrat rag with a socialist leaning.
Big deal. Though once the vehicle for analysis of Milton Friedman and other worthies, it's been at least twenty years since Newsweek was a worthwhile source of news and opinion (Friedman's column was discontinued in 1984).
Newsweak's recent subscriber base consists of dentist offices and upper income households that qualify statistically for deep, deep discount subscriptions. My guess is that the median age of its regular readers could not be less than 65.
Newsweak has an irrelevant publication for news, analysis, and opinion for a long time. However, its reincarnation as a Democrat Party rag has potential to turn it into a political campaign vehicle that is totally exempt from limitations on political funding.
LOL! WHY? What's going to change?
