Shake out Newsweak subscription litter cards and drop them in the mail.

Not a bad idea. Newsweak is pitiful and Time is nearly as bad. I was waiting to pick up my car from Service the other day and in the waiting room, there were magazines. I picked up a copy of Newsweak and was surprised just how lean it is. I don't see how they could possibly survive with something as sparse as their content. Forget about the rabid liberalism, there isn't much content there.

The Washington Post owned Newsweek.

They just sold it. For $1.00. Cold cash.

Even my Vegan (although somewhat conservative) Doctor quit putting Time and Newsweak in the Waiting Room.

I used to like footnoting some of the articles with actual facts while I waited..

Ditto for Time Magazine. Some issues are embarrassingly thin even with the number of full-size ads and two-page Cialis/Levitra disclaimers in them. I too wonder how they’re justifying their existence sometimes with such sparingly low content.

We started receiving it about 4 years ago and continue to....although nobody in our household ever paid a subscription or wanted one to begin with. We don’t know how or why it started showing up but it’s got the correct name/addy when it does and we’ve never seen a bill for it yet.
