| #7 "Public trust" or not, if I was a vendor to Newsweak, I would be putting them on COD and hoping to get whatever money they owed paid back before the three month deadline. Reading the article, Harman got Newsweak because he offered to fewest layoffs. WTF? This wasn't about rescuing a publication. This was about playing up to a buncha writers who really think they have this public trust that transcends the money side of the operation. Expect to see Newsweak heading for bankruptcy next year. |

| #6 Outside of true believers (and dental patients), who reads it? True believers already get the joke, dental patients wish for Sports Illustrated. Jane probably wants him tested for dementia. |

| #5 The covert collaboration of the MSM just became overt subversion of the Republic. Half the dentists in the country will cancel their subscriptions. Newsweak will have to replace their tag line, All Desntist, All the Time. Clift and Fineman need to get their resumes on the street. It's a money pit. The losses will be money diverted from Jane's re-election campaign. Good news all around. |

| #4 The real issue here is the buyer: the wealthy husband of a sitting Dem Congresswoman. The overt politicization of our media just got even worse. |
