Like Father Morris said on Fox I believe it was the the Huck show that he will never buy another Newsweek Magazine.

Newsweak is godless so this is their hope - “God is dead”.
Next they’ll be asking for a bail out. Gee, what would we do without Newsweak? I’d be thrilled to see them gone.

I’m sure Margaret Sanger is in that group too.

"Modernity will win, and archaic religion will lose. All this leads back to the sneaking suspicion that the top minds at Newsweek think they are the wisest of men, the definers of trends and the shepherds of public opinion. So why is everyone abandoning their advice? Why are the captains of a magazine that's lost half its circulation telling the rest of us where the mainstream lies..."

The modernity of liberal dorks with laptops will eat its own. What they don't tell you is that the population has been dumbed down. They also don't tell you that since there is a correlation between fatherless children and atheism, the increase in bastardy would increase the number of alienated secular humanists. But the kids with nose rings and tattoos won't be reading opinion magazines. Ironic?

These leftist magazines will eventually die, but they've already been replaced by something else. Most younger people don't have the attention span to read a long Newsweak article. They get their “knowledge” from TV and from brief blurbs on the internet. They respond to emotion, repetition, and imprinting rather than a long, written diatribe. They're well programmed for two minute hates and love fests for Big Brother. They no longer need one of Big Brother's earliest supporters, Newsweak.

You make more sense in a few sentences than most of the “ivory tower” morons at Time, Newsweek, etc. could ever muster in their entire “careers”.

World has a website, so you can see if it is something you would be interested in.

Newsweek fails.

Perhaps such a valuable propaganda tool for the left will be found worthy of a bailout. /sarcasm

I detest newsweek most, and time 2nd.

I have to subscribe to a news magazine for a family member so I get US news and world report. Is that good or should I get a different one

Stopped reading Newsweek in the 7th grade. Thought it was written for dopes even back then.

Thanks. I’ll check it out. Leaving this evening on a quick trip of about 1800 miles driving. Will be back in about a week.
