Who in their right mind reads the despicable, flamingly dishonest Newsweek?

Who would pay one penny for this dead tree propaganda rag? Newsweek long ago destroyed all its credibility.

It is too bad that they are still publishing the Washington Post. It will be a day of great joy when both Newsweek and its parent newspaper close their doors permanently.

Here’s a thought for saving it:

Turn it into a magazine that actually publishes the news on... oh I don’t know... maybe a weekly basis.

Fire all the writers and editors and start over by telling the truth and not carrying the Left’s water. That would be a start to turning things around.

Or, wait for a bailout. Newsweak is too big to fail, isn’t it?

It would be tempting to buy it and turn it into a highly successful and profitable conservative news outlet.

A conservative news weekly would do very well, I would think.

Hizonor Bloomy bought BusinessWeek, so why not Newspeak?

I hate to mention this even jokingly but some Obama toadie will probably decide Newspeak deserves TARP funds to keep it going.

Buy it then run it for a year and force the liberal staff to write conservative articles (especially Elenanor Cliff). Then shut it all down.

It would be fun to buy it and hire Ann Coulter as Editor-in-Chief.

""But we did not see a path to sustained profitability within the company."

Why in the world anyone buy a business that had no "path to sustained profitability"?

Good luck dumping that loser.

The brand has been so discredited by the leftist slant among the public, it’s worthless at this point.

My hope is that HuffPo buys it, it takes HuffPo down with it. LOL
