NEWSWEEK is an internationally known and respected publication

Known, yes. Respect, hardly.

Despite heroic efforts on the part of NEWSWEEK's management and staff, we expect it to still lose money in 2010.

Martyrdom is not heroism.

I hear they’re planning to change the name from Newsweek to Swillmonth.

Who would buy it? Seriously.
Maybe the same people who would invest in a slide-rule manufacturing company?

Who will buy something that will be extinct in a year and lose money every day of its existence?

Remember when Newsweak's "chief investigative reporter" Michael Isadumkopf reported that a Koran had been flushed down a toilet by an American at Guatanamo Bay? This story triggered wide-spread rioting and anti-American protests throughout the world.

It was later proved to be only an allegation and Newsweak was forced to print a retraction.

Also, remember the sexist photo of Sarah Palin published on a Newsweak cover? The bias was so lame and obvious that even liberals were embarrassed.

Before leftists took over this rag, it ranked only behind Time magazine as an important news journal. However, leftists are like locusts when they take something over.....they leave only ravaged ruination and shreds of destruction in all they touch before they are forced to leave or sell out what they have despoiled.

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Now it appears that the likes of Michael Isikoff and Eleanor Clift may have to look for new print outlets on which to impose their liberal literary fungus.

poor old Eleanor. She’s too old to do tricks and transaction from presstitute to prostitute.

She’s too old for sidewalk sex like that with Bubba at the ‘68 convention.

Tough, I mean tough nookies.

It will take a decade, maybe more, to get rid of the outdated issues littering the waiting rooms of the country.

The next to fall will be People, US and assorted papparrazi pubs about retarded celebrities.

Can’t imagine3 any buyers unless their intent is to cease paper publication and go strictly on line like US News & World Report. Time wont be far behind.
