A just a few years ago, the former owners, the Newsweek/Washington Post Group made a conscious decision to abandon the mainstream news reporting and move to a Northeastern, liberal-driven agenda and thereby commit “Reader/Subscriber Assisted Suicide”. I was one of the former Newsweek subscribers that ‘helped out’ by not renewing. Say what you will, but the fact is that the rest of the 4th Estate is caught in the very same death spiral.
