If Chris Ruddy buys it, will it still be “dinosaur media”?
Who knows? If they stop being anti-American and become pro-freedom, maybe people will start buying Newsweek.
Journalism is negative, superficial, and unrepresentative - inherently.
That is its business model, and that is why journalism cannot be conservative.
Journalism sets itself up as a cardboard hero, fit to slay cardboard dragons in the form of unoffending businessmen who wouldn't hurt a fly. Socialists are called "liberals" in America because journalists wanted to apply positive labels to the politicians who cooperated most in the journalist's endeavor of making Middle America into a "villain." America was (actually) liberal then, so the positive label "liberal" was applied to the socialists like FDR who were anything but actual liberals.

Agree with you. I have a similar view as you, but when I say that it becomes pro-freedom, I mean that it needs to morph into something resembling a conservative publication.
