Maybe they will be more profitable if they make their mag even THINNER than it already is.
What's amazing is the numbers of Christians that remain so in the face of relentless ostracizing by the msm.
More and more people are turning away from the msm yet they still have tremendous power. Our duty, to God, our country, and our children is to bear witness to the lies they promulgate and to thwart at every turn their shortsighted and destructive philosophy.
I want Newsweek to fail, I want Time Magazine to fail, but most of all I look forward to the great day the NY Times goes under. And, of course, I want Barack Obama to fail - miserably - in his anti-Americanism. FUBO!
I picked up a Newsweak copy in my doctor’s waiting room, it had very few pages, I was shocked, shocked, I tell you.. If this rag gets any smaller it will be considered a “pamphlet”! What an outrage that the very few idiots who run this trash seem to believe that what they say or do is vital to America, ha, they have become the joke and an embarrassment to American journalism.
I read that rag only in doctors and dentists offices. I won’t ever pay for their leftist trash.
Newsweek. They’re still around??????????
(I fully realize that all sensible, thinking Americans — that’d be conservatives —fully understand this information. I post it only for the brain-dead Obama voters and statists — that’d be liberals — who might have slipped out of their rubber rooms over at DU and are lurking, hacking or generally causing trouble here at FR.)
Recently, I read what probably amounts to the obituary for the Atlanta Journal Constitution. (My wife insists on buying the Sunday edition for the TV guide.) It joins the growing list of print newspapers in deep, deep financial trouble. The LA Times, NY Times, Boston Globe, Cleveland Plain Dealer, etc.
Here’s my horseback analysis of why they’re heading for extinction.
As generally liberal statist propaganda outlets, they have for decades supported a government “education” system (and I used the term very loosely) dominated by the NEA and the idiot bureaucrats running the DOE in Washington. The unions and the NEA have largely hurled the traditional three “Rs” and critical thinking skills under the bus in favor of touchy-feely diversity training, self-esteem building, political correctness, African studies, teaching Hispanic kids in SPANISH instead of teaching them English on day one, social promotions, basket weaving, navel gazing, etc., etc.
I won’t dwell on it here but would, instead, refer you to my personal experience with the government schools here:

What I cannot grasp is precisely why, after effectively dumbing down the members of the American populace who have traversed the conveyor belt of mediocrity called government schools, the overeducated owners and operators of these newspapers are surprised that this population has lost its interest in READING NEWSPAPERS: Many of them CAN’T read!!
Those folks – especially conservatives who resent the increasingly liberal drivel found in the major papers — who can and DO read things are now getting their information from the Internet or, for those too busy to actually read, from largely conservative talk radio (which helps explain why Algore, Pelosi, Reid, et al feel the need to control both these formats).
Their statist dumbing down has produced huge numbers of voters who lacked the critical thinking skills necessary to determine that their present-voting, slick-talking liar of a candidate had virtually NO management or legislative experience. And the economic illiterates they have elevated to high office in Washington for years have produced a growing economic crisis which has even those with any money left spending it on “luxuries” like food, clothing and shelter. Newspapers and advertising therein are far down the list.
And did I mention that the economic collapse Obama “inherited” has its genesis in Jimmy Carter’s Community Reinvestment Act? It was then expanded by Clinton and stridently defended by Chris Dodd, Maxine Waters and Barney Frank (who was sleeping with Herb Moses while he held a top spot at – appropriately – Fannie). Only government could turn the dream of home ownership for poor folks into a NIGHTMARE for the rest of us.
Now that they have control of the White House and both houses of Congress, the liberals who run most of the newspapers here SHOULD be on a beach somewhere throwing a huge party. Instead, they are dusting off their resumes. The Editor of the AJC informed us that she was actively seeking to get more conservative/traditional values writers in the pages down there. I’d submit that it’s too little, too late!
Perhaps she’ll write and let us know if that “Hope” and “Change We Can Believe In” thing helps with the job search.
If you just have to have one of those 1,000 new jobs dunning folks for Tim Geithner’s IRS, it couldn’t hurt.
Like Father Morris said on Fox I believe it was the the Huck show that he will never buy another Newsweek Magazine.
"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?
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
What can I do to help kill it quicker?
