Soon to be an ex-millionaire...

[no dems]

Let it friggin’ die.

I am assuming that he is actually agreeing to assume the magazine’s debts, and therefore shelling out a lot of money.

But I will let the experts chime in.

[OneWingedShark]

I’ll double his offer:
That’s right, I’m offering a whole $2 for ownership of the magazine.

[Nervous Tick]

So, let me get this straight.

WaPo, who is bleeding red ink, sells Newsweak for $1 instead of getting some value from it from the conservative media company who was prepared to bid MUCH more.

Abandoning business good sense for the sole purpose of maintaining Newsweak as a leftist microphone.

How on earth can they claim there is NO bias at WaPo? Seriously. How?

[paul in cape]

$1? He’s paying too much.

[Rebelbase]

Who would want to underwrite millions of dollars in debt to a 91 year old?

[Astronaut]

I haven’t bought a copy of Newsweek in 15 years! What a joke. But Hussein and Pelosi shouldn’t let liberal magazines have financial troubles. Newsweek needs a taypayer funded bailout! And while we’re at it, bring in the “Fairness Doctrine” to put the only media companies making money out of business - the conservative ones.

We so need a revolution. I hope the November election will be the start of one.

[Dr. Sivana]

A guy with a last name like Harmon ran JBL and Infinity? Next I’ll find out that the guy who runs Acer is named Hewlitt.

[Dem Guard]

Talk about a bargaining chip! All the 91 year old has to do is keep faining a Red Fox, and they all run to give him his way in these negotiations to sucker him in to buying this magazine. lol

[CriticalJ]

So Newsweek would not sell to “conservative” owners. They picked a 91 year old “liberal”.

What happens when he dies? Does it goes to his heirs? Will it be back on the selling block in a year?

Bizarre.

[WayneS]

He is married to Jane Harman, a congresswoman who represents Southern California.

This virtually ASSURES that Newsweek's political covergae will continue to be unbiased. /s

[Dick Bachert]

“What the sale to Mr. Harman suggests, perhaps more than anything else, is that the right owner for a struggling media property like Newsweek is someone who can afford to lose tens of millions of dollars a year while the magazine tries to find a more successful approach.”

Harman, who is tight with Mortimer Adler’s LEFTIST Aspen Institute, will probably keep this rag moving LEFT, guaranteeing it’s ultimate demise.

Now that IS good news!!

[EyeGuy]

I hope they’ll continue to send it for free the EyeGuy Health complex.

Got fish to wrap, fires to start and bird droppings to catch.

[facedown]

Mr. Harman, who turns 92 this month,..........is married to Jane Harman, a congresswoman who represents Southern California.

Interesting.

[FormerACLUmember]

The family of the demented 91 year old should sue Newsweek for stealing their inheritance.

[Little Ray]

Hear’s hoping he goes broke.

[GQuagmire]

One Dollar...

[frog in a pot]

Was it Steve McQueen with the line:

“You paid too much.”

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

At least the magazine and its new owner have something significant in common besides being on the wrong side of spiritual warfare: They’re best days are long past.

[Billthedrill]

Q: Why would anyone pump "tens of millions of dollars" into a failing enterprise that is looking for "a more successful approach?"

A: Because it's worth it. It's a propaganda organ. It doesn't have to make money.
