Newsweek’s cover story in 1982 bore the banner line “Reagan’s America: And the Poor Get Poorer” just as though President Reagan wanted poor people to get poorer or didn’t care if they did. I haven’t bought another issue since. Now that they have dropped even the pretense of news reporting, I doubt that I will.

Cinabar, if Newsweek has been renewing your subscription free of charge for years this may not be deliberate on their part. Their subscription records might be as just as accurate as their reporting.

The only time I come in contact with Time or Newsweek is in the Dental or Doctors office. I pick it up out of curiosity and each time I end up throwing it down in disgust.

When I was growing up I read these magazines all the time as my parents subscribed and they were always scattered about the house (my parents were hopelessly disorganized). Needless to say, I have not seen either magazine at my parents house for many years now.

As a kid I accepted that these publications as articles of truth. I never considered that people would publish untruths. Much like a young boy that steals a Playboy from his Dad accepts much of the content as a truthful representation of the real world. I was devastated when I discovered reality.

What I have learned as I’ve grown and experienced life is that almost none of the content of Newsweek and Playboy is based in reality…

When moving my parents to a nursing home I had their mail forwarded to my home. Along with the usual bills was a subscription to Newsweek. I found the periodical to be odious to the extreme and detested their left-wing political slant. As time went on I ignored countless cancellation notices when the subscription ran out. That was over four years ago and we still receive the magazine each edition like clockwork. Clearly their circulation is on the wane and my guess is that they continue to distribute to unpaid “subscribers” artificially inflating their circulation numbers to maintain advertising rates. My take is their real paid circulation is well below 1.3 million. Good riddance Newsweek and don’t let the door hit your butt on the way out.

For news this weak…Marxists turn to Newsweak.

Time / Communist News Network is going down the same path.

I glanced at a copy of our local Billings Gazette the other day. The front page clearly showed why I no longer subscribe. There was an article about millions of dollars of damage to sugar beet crops in Montana by an amazing cold snap we had in early October (0 degrees F.), a forecast for temperatures well below 0 now (I had -25 degrees F. this morning), and a glowing AP screed about how the Copenhagen climate meetings and Obama were going to fix “global warming”. Give me a break.
By the way, a lot of Robert Samuelson’s articles are available for free on Realpolitics.com, as well as a lot more.

I’m so eagerly looking forward to the collapse of ‘News’week. I may throw a party!
