Newsweek is not a partisan magazine. Tell George Will you think his magazine is "lefty". Just because all the recent scandals have been Bush-Cheney oriented doesn't mean the magazines which publish the stories are biased. DEmocrats don't have any scandals these days because they're much more honest.

Newsweek's Isikoff is the one who broke the Monica Lewinsky story. What's so "lefty" about that? If Newsweek is "lefty" why were they investigating Clinton's sex life to begin with? Sounds like a "righty" magazine to me. In truth it's just a "news that's fit to print" magazine, and a very good one. The rightwing attacks all very smart mainstream magazines and newspapers because they don't want people to know what they really do, think or work for. If people knew the truth, the entire rightwing would be booted out of power.

Ad sales in almost all magazines have been going down for a decade. The internet is the reason.

Does anyone wonder why the leftwing Newsweek is losing ad revenue? As long as no one did stupid things to draw attention to the partisanship, advertisers just accepted it. The whole Michael Isikoff thing had to have raised a giant red flag.
