 Go with The Economist September 24, 2008
Charles K. Stafford (Arlington, VA)

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.

People still subscribe to this?? September 24, 2008

I figured they were giving them away to doctors' offices and such just to convince their advertisers that an occasional bored eyeball might glance at their ads, but I didn't realize they still found much of an audience other than that. You can get the identical Democratic Party line from so many free outlets these days, why bother to pay for it even if that's what you want to hear?
Get The Week instead September 24, 2008

If you are sick of Newsweek's slide into mediocrity, I recommend reading a relatively new magazine called The Week. It's a compilation of the top news stories from around the world, as well as summaries of pop culture (car reviews, recipes, real estate trends).
Ultra-liberal magazine September 15, 2008

Don't buy this expecting the news. You will get the news only from a left wing/socialist slant. Anything that doesn't fit their world view will be ignored or dismissed. There is no such thing as reporting only the news to today's media. Everything is editorial.

I've been a subscriber for years and love this magazine. Not full of ads. Some articles are a little repetitive but I just skip over them when I've had enough. I'm really into psychology/sociology and it seems at least once a month they have a noteworthy article. I'm always bringing them into work.
