The Obama administration will find a way to keep them afloat. Newsweek, after all, is a valuable part of their propaganda machine.

“
This is where Time, Incorporated has an edge—they are already well on their way to doing this and we will see by fall 2010 most of their magazines in the electronic magazine format designed for devices like Apple's new tablet computer, devices like the new netbook that runs Chrome OS, or running on desktops/laptops using a free reader program” It's not the format that is the problem.
Its the abject, rampant, rabid liberal bias, 0bamabot bias , anti-Republican hate, anti-conserrvative hate, anti-Plain hate that is the problem.
It's irrelevant what format they put Newsweek or Time on, conservatives still won't buy it.
Meanwhile, the more objective Wall Street Journal actually registered an INCREASE in circulation this year, making it the largest circulation newspaper in the country, even in the midst of a recession.
Being an 0bamabot rent boy is bad for your ratings/circulation/financial health, no matter what format it comes in. That is why Fox News ratings have shot up this year, even as MSNBC and CNN have registered huge ratings collapse.

No one is going to spend $ to cut down trees using gas powered chainsaws, spoil the landscape, drive the mods to the pulp mill, pollute everything in sight making paper (and create a horrible stench,) then drive the blank paper to a plant where they will put carcinogous ink on it, then drive it to your house, just so you can get a 6 hour to 6 day old far-left liberals' views of the worldLOL! There are a LOT of union employees lurking in or near that sentence.

Call me a cynic. The New York Times has been at deaths door for years now and it still continues to exist” The New York Times continues to exist like a guy in a coma continues to exist.
Just getting fed, sleeping and breathing every day, while lying prone in bed is not what I'd call really living.

“
Itll come from TARP. Just wait and see ...” And how is that “bailout” working out for General Motors then? No amount of TARP is going to save a bad business.
And what do they propose to do when we take over the Huose next year?
To: abb
they should just revive Look (since the whole mag is nothing but pictures of Obama anyway)

As it continues its shift away from news gathering toward a more provocative, idea-driven editorial approach In that case the name "Newsweek" is no longer appropriate.
How about something like "Spewsweek"?

Oprah will start sharing the cover of O Magazine with Obama.
But that might only last a few months, until her magazine folds too.It’ll be interesting, now that I think of it, to watch what happens to her magazine once her show no longer rules TVLand.

The
New York Times lingering in its dotage may be a blessing in disguise.
The Times lost $.30 per share over the last 12 months. The longer the Times continues to consume the wealth of the silk stocking leisure class before it dies, the better off America will be.
To: Sgt_Schultze
Exactly!
Can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t want to buy the Obama magazine. /s

Washington just CAN’T let one of their propaganda organs die! They will breathe life back into it — from the massive slush funds or a new “media bailout package,” or something.... They MUST have herr Goebbels tools...

“Pure sex appeal play to boost sales and stay alive”.
-——yeah, that’s probably the way they saw it , but it
turned out more like “killing two stones with one bird”,
as it backfired, and you can figure out who or what exactly who owned those “two stones”.

I'm glad to hear it...one more obama indocrination rag off the street.
Especially after the swipe they took at Sarah Palin a few times...I hope they enjoy their unemployment checks.
We should make it our duty to try our best to put any media in the garbage that slams Sarah or any other good conservative. It's all usually lies and propaganda, so they need to be shown what happens to left wing rags that deal in personal destruction of Conservatives.

Newsweek is not only mislabeled, it's just plain embarassing.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
