 A once great magazine is now not even worth a cent October 4, 2008
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
As a former subscriber to the Newsweek, I must say in terms of graphics, photos and design it is basically a first rate publication. But when it comes to content, fairness and balance it is a partisan magazine deep in tank with the hard leftists of the world, especially inside the US. Unfortunately, I will not buy this magazine any more and instead I will be buying The Weekly Standard, Economist, Time and Canada's McLeans magazine. The Newsweek has turned into a podium for the Obama campaign and its mother company MSNBC and General Electric as a whole ought to be ashamed of the dismal performance of this once great magazine.
 Newsweek September 30, 2008
Getting views from a news magazine; another part of education in our high school library.
 90% Off and worth every penny September 24, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I used to subscribe to both Newsweek and Times. I have dropped both. I came to realize that what I was getting was what the writer and editor thought I needed to know to come to the conclusion that they wanted.
On every occasion where I was familiar with the subject of their stories (a couple of times first hand knowledge) I found that significant facts were dropped if they interfered with the 'narrative'.
Right now they are offering a subscription for $20.00 which is 90% off. A good deal if you have $20 to waste. If they would discount the other 10% it would be fairly priced.
Bird cage liner or perhaps fish wrapper September 24, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
The current $20 subscription price for this "magazine" is a great way to save money on the liners for your canary cage or if you are a fishmonger in need of wrapping papers. If you are in search of insightful news and unbiased journalism I suggest looking elsewhere.
Go with The Economist September 24, 2008
5 out of 7 found this review helpful
While I've never subscribed to Newsweek, I have read enough of it in waiting rooms and the occasional purchased copy that I can say it is the lightweight of news periodicals.
Some other posters hit it on the head. Lightweight, at best, writing; a liberal slant that could be admirable if it were better written. Yes even we so-called libertarian conservatives read opposing views. But Newsweek just is not up to the challenge.
As to American news periodicals I'd recommend US News and World Reports. Overall I'd recommend the British pub - The Economist. Will it cost you more? Yes, but you will get a real mental workout reading it. And to those who may not like the idea of a pro free-trade, lowered regulatory environment, supportive of the Iraq invasion magazine; the Economist endorsed John Kerry in the 2004 election. So they are NOT raving right wingers. Just good coverage of the US and the world with good FACTS that will force the reader to think.
