If you feel so strongly about it, you should try it some time.
Journalism imparts the writers' views into every event.
Newsweek might go left stream?
Shouldn’t this article have been written 45 years ago?
I don’t think it is possible to go any farther left than they already are.
I find it hard to believe no conservative was willing to offer $2 for Newsweek;I suspect a arranged sale with all the usual Democratic Party dishonesty and securing of closets(so the skeletons stay hidden).
Newsweak’s strategy must be to tack left and... drop off the face of the earth.
Newsmax attempted to purchase the magazine, but was turned away.
“Shouldn’t this article have been written 45 years ago?”
ROFL
“...new connections to partisan politics” ?
I needed a good laugh this morning.
Pelosi, Harman Have Long History
Excerpt:
In 1998, Jane Harman left the House and spent tens of millions of dollars on a failed bid for governor of California. After that loss, Rep. Nancy Pelosi was one of the first people to encourage Harman to come back to Congress. And why wouldn’t she?
The two women had worked together for years, serving in the House and toiling in the trenches of California Democratic politics. Pelosi even helped recruit Harman to run for Congress in the first place in 1992.
But relations between the pair have soured since Harman returned to the Capitol in 2001, and the feud between her and Pelosi provides a fascinating backdrop to the current controversy that has engulfed Harman — her alleged willingness to intervene in the prosecution of two AIPAC officials in exchange for help in lobbying Pelosi to make Harman Intelligence Committee chair in 2006.

Pelosi Tells of a Briefing by Officials on Harman
*snip*
She also said Ms. Harman was apparently not a target of the surveillance, and insisted that the incident did not factor in her decision to deny her colleague the top post on the House Intelligence Committee after Democrats won the majority in 2006.
That decision is still a source of friction between the two Californians, who are both powerful and wealthy women ....
*snip*
Their tussle over the committee post was back in the spotlight this week after reports that Ms. Harman had been secretly recorded agreeing to intercede on behalf of pro-Israel lobbyists, who were under investigation for violations of the Espionage Act, in exchange for help in pressing Ms. Pelosi to give her the intelligence job.

Might be ‘insider’ Pelosi bits in coming Newsweek issues. Nanzi, that Botox may yet crack.
Incestuous Gubamint
Just what the Founding Fathers Did NOT have in mind.
Doesn’t bother me. Is anyone really worried that the magazine will get MORE liberal? Readership has been tumbling for the past 10 years, so if they move further to the left, they’re going to fold, anyway.
My issue was actually with the “quality” part.
I was thinking earlier that we need some wealthy conservatives to get into the news business. It’s the most reasonable way to shove the MSM back to the middle where it belongs. Admittedly they may not turn a profit but could writeoff their losses against other profits. We have to get the MSM back to a free press or there will be more obama’s, reid’s and pelosi’s.
The only thing that will change is that now everyone will know that Newsweek is a fully bought and paid for subsidiary of the democrat party.
Wow, that photo sure can’t be the Jane Harman that I have been seeing in photos and on TV here in So Cal these last 15 years. Looks like she invested a ton of money in plastic surgery. It would be good to see that photo along side one from a few years ago. Where or where have all of the wrinkles gone. And just look at those cheek implants.
Newsweek is definitely worth more than $1 dollar.
Harmon should have to pay taxes on the difference between the fair market price and that $1 dollar. It’s essentially a gift.
Look, I may not like taxation, but if a Lefty is involved, they do believe in it, so pay the taxes like a good little Marxist lackey and be done with it.
New connections? There's nothing new here, just new ownership, same ol' partisan politics as before.
