I haven’t received anything from Newsweek for years through the junk snail mail, but even $35 is HIGH. Time and Entertainment Weekly keep me subscribing because of their $10 per year rates, the NYTimes only comes to my house because of 50% off the home delivery price (and because there’s no other real paper available here in Detroit delivered 7 days a week), and I get other more “quality” magazines begging me to subscribe to them for far less under their “Professional Discount Rates” (especially from Conde Nast properties). Forbes has solicited me recently under their “professional” rate of $26 per year, or $1 per issue, many times.
So why can’t Newsweek and the LATimes get their base to support them? How about asking George Clooney, Sean Penn, Oliver Stone and the Commies like them to do a telethon for them? Didn’t the Miami Herald have a “donation” link on their stories?
Is Newsweek going to go beggin’ and passing out free samples tonight at Barry’s $50,000-a-plate din din? Better hide the salt shakers, and somebody make sure Barry’s getting the veggie plate, or else Shelly won’t be too pleased.

When Editor Jon Meacham “seemed” to conscionsly take Newsweek magazine to the far left, often so offensively partisan that I threw the remaining issues of a $10/yr. special subscription directly into the trash. I assumed that in writing off moderates and spitting in the face of conservatives, his intent was to carve out a leftist “niche” that would provide him with a large enough base from which to draw an adequate number of subscribers.  But he should have considered the fate of most leftist talk shows, and the fact that the NYT, Time magazine, among others, had already staked the same partisan claim, so that he was perhaps too late. Who knows what might have happened if instead of propagandizing for the left, Newsweek had sought some sort of “centrist” balance?  At least he would have been publishing “honest” news covering all viewpoints.  Lying by omission is still lying!

Time and Entertainment Weekly are part of the media cabal of Time Warner hell bent on destroying America. Other Time Warner magazines include People, Fortune, Money, Sports Illustrated, Mad magazine, and Southern Living. Then you have CNN, the Cartoon Network, TNT, HBO, Cinemax, and TBS.

The sooner you can rid yourself of Time Warner’s agitprop, the better.
