Newsweek circulation 2003: 4 million
Newsweek circulation 2010: 1.5 million

For instance, we should point out that unemployment figures produced by the government are only valid during the early stages of a recession.

See post #12. I addressed this AFTER I got done dumping on the writer and his publication.

Another subscription boosting headline from Newsweak. /sarc

I was stuck in an doctors office for an hour I read some women’s magazine rather than Newsweek. It contains no “news” and should be sued for false advertisement. It is irrelevant like USA Today or Time. USA has a great subscription rate because they sell in bulk to hotels and airlines.

Does anyone have Newsweek on their deadpool 2012 list? How much longer can this Leftist rag stay in business?

[Track9]

The so called ‘hit piece’ will only make stupid Dims dumber. It’s not going to change a single mind to go RAT.

"and more than the net jobs created under the entire Bush administration..."

Actually Bush created 8 million plus jobs but the net amount created due to the 2007 economic collapse subtracts most of that 8 million. An economic crash due to Democratic Party policies, I might add.

[JrsyJack]

Here's the money line...."Under Bush, new policies on taxes and spending cost the taxpayer a total of $5.07 trillion."

They always give themselves away...so tax cuts cost the taxpayers? Huh?

[pepsionice]

At some point, I expect Time and NewsWeak to combine because neither have much of a status symbol anymore. The thing about their subscription level...is that out of 1.5 million...at least a quarter of that relates to libraries, waiting rooms, airlines, and doctor/dentist offices. They all get heavily discounted rates. So they are barely covering any salary situations and I would imagine that the benefit plan is almost zero.

I think you both are probably right. The Andy threw me off. The fairy you are referring to usually or always has gone by the name Andrew as far as I know.

[Argus]

Leftist propaganda is easy. You just lie.

[Recovering_Democrat]

When Obama took office, the United States was losing around 750,000 jobs a month. The last quarter of 2008 saw an annualized drop in growth approaching 9 percent.

Can someone point out to the drooling Hussein fellators at newsweak that the economy truly began to tank when the business community realized McCain was fighting like an 8 year old girl, and the entire federal government was soon going to be headed by a cabal of Keynesian regulators?

[GreyFriar]

Perhaps he is a Ding Dong or a Ho-Ho instead. of course all three are Hostess products.

[longtermmemmory]

How does newsweek continue to exist?

it should have died a ignoble death like us news and world report or any other liberal rag.

the last one I touched was so thin it was more flyer than magazine.

[A.Hun]

This guy forgets that the Democrats controlled both the House and the Senate from 2006 on...

Maybe he should examine what the root cause of the mortgage crisis actually was. Why did people begin defaulting on their subprime mortgages? Here's a hint:

The price of gas skyrocketed as soon as we put Dems in control of congress. They had filibustered the Repubs energy bill for four years, and when they took full control, speculators went wild.

Elections can have terrible consequences.
