It's official. The 77 year old magazine Newsweek will remain safely in politically liberal hands. The Washington Post Company put the financially failing periodical up for sale in May, declined two offers from potential buyers deemed politically incompatible in June and has now agreed to sell to Sidney Harman, the 91-year-old founder of a stereo equipment company who just happens to be married to US Representative Jane Harman (D-California).

If this were a conservative owned company doing this, they would be castigated in the state-run MSM for making "back room deals" or looking for old-guard like-minded people.
Liberals, they're such hypocrites...

Super! Now Jane can release secret military intelligence information through her husband’s rag rather than having to go to her foreign government handlers.
To: CaroleL
Since print is an obsolete business model, and since weak news has been hemoraging money and readers in a major way, this is good news.
Another wealthy liberal is going to gush money through a spigot installed in his ribcage.
Let him go broke fast.

Shouldn’t we put these folks up for a Nobel Peace Prize...since they saved a bankrupt magazine...and can allow it to go bankrupt for another three or four years?

What if Mr. Harmon is senile and his kin duped him into blowing his dough to keep this Leftist rag alive? Nah... Liberals would NEVER do that to the elderly...

Good, I'll just keep on NOT reading it. I guess the new owner has no clue why it sold sooooo cheap.
