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.

I’d pay a penny for it, just to have the satisfaction of firing the entire staff. =)

I would actually double that and turn the remnants of the company into a garbage collection agency.

If they really want to go green, they should recycle the Newsweek run as it comes off the presses.

The only chance of success would be to turn it into Newsweek People and write about celebrities. Ha!

Newspapers in the U.S. could be such a great educational tool. They are an amazing study in information gathering, collation, production and distribution. It’s just a damned shame the left corrupted them to the point the populace refuses to read that pap any longer. And I don’t mention price, because people don’t even read this rubbish when provided with the paper for free. In the hospital, the papers are tossed in the trash brand new. You’ve got to have your head pretty far up there not to understand this, when your job is to sell the damned things so you can turn a profit.

I’d bet somewhere in their back offices, some guy is thinking to himself “I bet if we supported waterboarding and Bush generally, we’d have gotten enough Conservative subscribers to stay open.”

What would replace daily newspapers though? Local TV news is awful.

That’s like saying “I have a big pile of garbage and toxic waste on my property, who wants to buy it?”

I remembered reading Newsweek years ago in the dentist's office and thought it was biased. So I stopped reading it for at least 7 or 8 years.

I recently picked it up again and was stunned at how ridiculous it had become. It wasn't even pretending to be a news source anymore. It was an outright Democratic Party vehicle.

It read like it was being written by James Carville and Rahm Emmannuel. Astonishing bold faced lies and ridiculous comical spin on everything.

It will not be missed.

Seems to me the little prick editor of the Newsweak rag would show up on Imus’s show spewing his libertard b.s. all the tme.
Ya had to know it was only a matter of time. Buh Bye.

A new owner to figure out what’s wrong with Newsweak?

Try firing your liberals and make it a truthful (i.e. conservative) publication

Voila! There’s your profit

"Newsweek's staff has been remarkable in cutting expenses and putting out a great magazine," Post Co. Chairman Donald E. Graham said in an interview.

Maybe you could save the magazine if you started by telling the truth.

It is no wonder they are going down the tubes seeing they use writers that are uninformed dimwits like this one.

All print media is under big pressure these days and weekly news-magazines are especially challenged - their news is obviously up to a week late, and their analysis is easily replaced by many free online sources. And in Newsweek’s case, it doesn’t help that the magazine abandoned any pretense of objective journalism years ago.

Wait just a minute. Have they asked both their subscribers if it is OK to sell their magazine?
