And Newsweak employees wonder why they’re shutting down that rag...

It hasn't occurred to them that butt kissing worship of all things liberal is offensive to half their potential readers.

And by 'half' I'm generously including all those inner city people who are functionally illiterate and extremely unlikely to ever subscribe to Newsweek...

Included in that 50% are groups of recent illegals who vote dem, but don't read English well enough to subscribe ...

and Union households where 'Newsweek' isn't the first magazine of choice... or even on the list.

Also left out - 'independents' - not committed to either party - and might be put off by a magazine that's picked sides...

Guess it's easy to understand why Newsweek's going under, afterall... The 'half' they appeal to is about 1%...
