You just beat me. I even had (Dinosaur Media DeathWatch™) in parentheses at the top. LOL. But my internet connection hiccuped.

What happens if you have a subscription to the print magazine?

People forget that even until the late 1970’s, USN&WR actually supplied a news balance among the mainstream weeklies. Then they decided to compete for the same shrinking market of ignoramuses as time, Newsweek and other also-rans.

Six months of TV Guide as a replacement?

USN&WR is probably the best of the newsweeklies but also has the lowest circulation.

At one time - forty to fifty years ago - it was actually conservative. It was my first subscription as an adolescent news junkie back in 1962.

That's sort of like saying your city landfill smells better than its sewage treatment plant.

Not much of a compliment, IMHO.

It appears that though major systems are shutting down, there is hope that dialysis will reverse the kidney failure and life can resume.

I didn't realize they were still printing. Their founder, the late, great, David Lawrence, likely would be glad to see it go, considering what has happened to it.
