So asks Roger L. Simon. One thing he forgets to mention is, since corporate culture is a hugely important question in any acquisition, is there a way to get an understanding of the culture in the newsroom at Newsweek?
There is indeed:
I'll pass, thanks.
Since we're all Socialists now, I think I'll put in a bid for the magazine. Of course, I expect that you all will cover the tab...
ReplyDeleteThanks, America!
I understand, Borepatch, and tend to agree. But wouldn't it be enormous fun to watch, say, Limbaugh and Hannity form a consortium, buy the magazine via a shell corporation, then kick out all the liberals and make it a news magazine again? And then watch it become a howling commercial success?
ReplyDeleteIf we're socialists now, where's my free and/or subsidized copy? Oh, you meant to say that you're a flaming hypocrite, Newsweek? That explains it.
ReplyDeleteSoon as I heard it was for sale, I thought Rush should buy it- be a great investment in honest American thinking, news, and commentary.
ReplyDeleteNewsweek. Pass.
ReplyDeleteIf that cover was true, the .gov would bail out Newsweek, and we would be required to read it.
ReplyDeleteAs it is, the redesign last year was the worst thing ever done to a supposed news magazine, making it a shrill left leaning editorial that published regularly.
It didn't die, it was killed.
Another draft post I'll have to delete. Dang you Borepatch! I don't subscribe to Newsweek, but someone brings their old copies in to work where I read them in the bathroom. It won't even do as TP in a pinch, it's too slippery.
ReplyDeleteIt's also skinny and getting skinnier by the month. I wish I could shed bulk like that.
Also, it seems that most of the writers and editors are delusional since they tell us that the economy has turned around, Pres. Feckless has an effective foreign policy, and that homeland security works.
No doubt they told us that the Navy SEALS were guilty and that's wrong too.
Not to mention their intricately constructed fantasy about global warmening.
Like much of the dead tree media, it can't die fast enough.
