Maybe the Glorious Revolution of the Red Dawn thinks there is hope you can be salvaged.
My wife attended college in Massachusetts, and was informed there that she WOULD read Newsweek..and that was a long, long time ago, now. It's just part of the institution...the Left's Little Red Book.
I took an English Comp course at UNO back in the late '70s taught by a flaming lib, who later became a regular commentator on our local PBS station. He required us to read Newsweek and write a composition based on one of the stories every week. He and I went round and round that year because I would argue with him about various political comments he would make. I wasn't even interested in politics back then, but I knew a lie when I heard one.
