Bias aside, the magazine has become an unreadable left wing vanity publication.   It will soon be "web only".

died years ago...My husband and I started taking Newsweek in 1983, shortly after we were married, and we always enjoyed reading it. During the '90's, we began to notice a left-tilt to the writing from time to time, but overlooked it at first. Then, President Bush (43) was elected, and Newsweek quickly became almost unreadable because of the flagrant anti-right, anti-Bush bias. We toughed in out for a year after his election, but finally we couldn't stand it any longer, and we cancelled our subscription, and we told them why.

Obviously, as Newsweek's subscription numbers make clear, we weren't the only ones...  

"...peace is the highest aspiration of the American People. We will negotiate for it, sacrifice for it, we will never surrender for it, now or ever." President Ronald Reagan~ January 20, 1981

Meachem will be remembered as the psuedo intellectual that drove this enterprise into the ground. This guy is a joke!

I think we should start universally referring to this waste-of-trees as "Newswreck".

Huhhh?

Newsweek reports on declining percentage of Christians...true.

You point out the numbers have increased, though agree with Newsweek on the number declining...still true.

Somehow tying the dropoff of Newsweek circulation to...poor reporting because of...?

Translation: the "culture wars" should be declared over, and the left
should be declared the winner. The Christian right should slink back to
its church buildings and keep its antiquated notions of sin and
salvation out of the public square. "Calmer" Christians will seek a
creed that chummily goes along and gets along with the modern, secular
culture. Only surrender on social issues is "theologically serious."

This is what you wanted to say, correct? There is a Culture War between the Christian Right(conservatives) and Secular Society/Culture(liberals) get your pitchforks & torches ready?

What is the Mainstream Media if everyone reads their news from multiple venues, ie...online, newspapers, magazines, books, cable and god forbid regular T-V that no one watches. It sure is a different world today than 1990 (19 years ago!)...how long do you "combat & expose liberal media bias" if the liberal mainstream media is nothing but a paper tiger? (pun intended)

Those who read Newsweek magazine- medical offices usually have a boat load of them- probably skim the articles just like the posters skimming this site. No big deal, in my opinion. Titillation sells! Might as well get some press from those who are going to have a tizzy- the Christian Right...if it still exists.

Ahhh...the mooslims are coming, the mooslims are coming! 

I read through this site and thought it was supposedly getting away from religious comments? What's the big deal if more people from different religions are coming together in a more harmonious fashion? Secularism is a hell of a lot better than a theocracy.

Perhaps Newsweek and Time will end up simply as 'doctor office magazines'. Like elevator music, or those airline magazines, no one will know or care where they come from, they will only be something to page through when you are stuck with nothing else to do, and when you set it down you won't know five minutes later what you read. Good riddance.

Na na na na... Na na na na... hey he-ey... goo-ood-bye!

And good riddance.

(I mean Newsweek, obviously I hope.)

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."-John Adams

I started receiving a copy of Newsweek the week before BO was inaugurated.  It was unwanted and unwelcome.  I thought the first issue was some sort of teaser, but I received a second one the following week.  When I called to find out who had ordered it and to get it stopped - I was told that when I bought an item on Amazon during the holiday season, I was automatically given a free subscription to Newsweek.

I asked them to cancel the subscription - well, guess what? I couldn't.  They didn't have a process for doing that.  I could, however, put it on permanent hold with a stop delivery request (like when you stop mail while you are on vacation.) That means that I have this subscription until it runs out - which means I have to restart it.  Classic Catch-22.  I am sure that Newsweek will use my "subscription" as part of the circulation count guarantee to their advertisers until they go out of business.

I wonder how much of their circulation numbers come from this kind of unwanted delivery of the magazine?

No wonder they want to see other drops. News Flsah. There are 500,000,000 pentecostals on this planet. here were none 108 years ago. Neewsweak magazine will die like Life did.

Just since 2007, their announced circulation has dropped by 52 percent. It would be more plausible to state "The End of Newsweek."

The End is near for Newsweek and it's editors write biased dribble and pat themselves on the back, not caring that their employees are on the way to unemployement lines.

Newsweek cares not that there is a whole other world outside of their Liberal/Progressive bubble: Pop Goes The Weasel!

The only useful thing that a copy of Newsweek would be good for a is littering waiting rooms in doctor's clinics and whacking dogs for crapping in the floor.

The only time we here about Newsweek is when they print a controversial cover. Notice, it's never for a great story. In summary, if a tree falls on a bear who's sh*tting in the woods ... that's Newsweek! 

might be the time to send newsweek and little note saying i'm a Christian and i choose not to buy your magazine, or support any advertisers once i learn they advertise inside newsweek covers.

should make the post office happy for a day or so.
