PLEASE LET ME BE FIRST!

I am thrilled to be able to post this since I have a long tirade of anti-Newsweek posts in my hat. Seeing this first thing this morning after breakfast made me whoop.

How's that hope and change working for you MSM? The bowl is starting to swirl with the rest of your POS compatriots soon to follow.

What? WHAT? You mean I can’t read Newsweak in my doctor’s office anymore? (I’m convinced all dr’s offices have been getting it for free which makes the magazine’s sales appear higher).

Newsweek was once a great publication. Its writers included Henry Hazlitt, author of Economics in One Lesson (New York: Harper, 1946), a classic that is still in print, and Ralph de Toledano, whose Seeds of Treason (1950), the story of the Alger Hiss spy case, was "a Newsweek book" published for the magazine by Funk & Wagnalls.

Newsweak has been limping away for years. What are we going to read while waiting in the doctors office? Oh NOOOOOO!

From the comments section:

“Meh... Pay for information? Not likely. Any information out there is pretty much free, so all I’d be paying you for is highlighting important information, and your opinion.

1. Emphasis: I can highlight information for myself. That’s the way I see the net eventually becoming. Providers provide information and context, users provide formatting and emphasis. You determine content, I decide how I view it.

2. Opinion: I don’t really care for it. The only person who represents my opinion is me. I’m tired of news organizations brainwashing people into believing that the news organization fully represents their opinion. That’s the problem with a two-party political system and news in general, no one is fully represented. Americans can solve most of these issues on our own, but we’re forced into these cookie-cutter platforms, a choice between standing still, and progressing to a slippery slope.

So in short, it appears I’m saying, I don’t need you. And I think you’ll find that’s how most people feel.”

:We are announcing this morning an important development at Newsweek and The Daily Beast.”

hahahaha, in your own minds, you maroons. Only fools will now pay for this junk. Similar to a local newspaper who we told repeatedly to stop trashing our driveway with it, they’ll need ot keep it all free. But, since we now have a couple of birdies, it comes in real handy for keeping the cage clean!

Tina Brown destroyed the New Yorker. It’s always been a mystery to me why anyone would continue to put her in charge of anything. But she keeps moving on, with a path of destruction behind her.

Evelyn Waugh would roll over in his grave if he knew that the name, “The Daily Beast,” had been stolen from his novel, Scoop. Or maybe he wouldn’t, since that was a comic vision of the yellow press and its crazy magnates which fits the new liberal media pretty well.

And Waugh also understood, as we see in his Sword of Honor trilogy, that there’s not that much difference between Nazis and Communists.
