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?

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

And they blame everything on the on-line environment. They should try not being so far left. That might just help sales.....

Someone approached Rush Limbaugh asking him if he was interested. On air he said only if he changed the content and then discussed the success of his newsletter...

I offer to buy it for the amount of its outstanding debt, fire the staff (no severance), and then default on the debt.

"But Newsweek, along with Time magazine and U.S. News & World Report, faces a particular challenge finding a relevant niche in the age of up-to-the-second online news."

The news magazines have always had a "relevant niche".....in-depth analysis. I used to read all three back before they became liberal propaganda organs. Time went first, then Newseek. USN&WR held out the longest before succumbing to the socialist propaganda disease, but it "went bad" as well. Once people realized that they were not getting un-biased news, circulation dropped, and has continued to drop. Nowadays, I can get more honest (if not in as much depth) news analysis online. Good riddance.
