It's not the format that is the problem.
Its the abject, rampant, rabid liberal bias, 0bamabot bias , anti-Republican hate, anti-conserrvative hate, anti-Plain hate that is the problem.
It's irrelevant what format they put Newsweek or Time on, conservatives still won't buy it.
Meanwhile, the more objective Wall Street Journal actually registered an INCREASE in circulation this year, making it the largest circulation newspaper in the country, even in the midst of a recession.
Being an 0bamabot rent boy is bad for your ratings/circulation/financial health, no matter what format it comes in. That is why Fox News ratings have shot up this year, even as MSNBC and CNN have registered huge ratings collapse.
