[bigmack]

More completely dishonest brokers of propaganda struggle to find any relevance that shows up in circulation.

Who's dumb enough to buy this rag?

News today that the Washington Post Company has put the money-losing Newsweek up for sale.

That is one reason that important leaders often read four or five different newspapers at breakfast. What has happened since then is that news organizations which have a clear philosophical bent now mask that by pretending to be the unbiased referee of public debate. As those eager for news have more options, those pretentious grandees of once giant newspapers are finding out that a lack of honesty with readers has a price

Feb. 8 (Bloomberg) -- The decline in U.S. consumer magazine circulation accelerated in the second half of last year, weighed down by drops at Reader’s Digest and TV Guide, Audit Bureau of Circulations data show.

Combined circulation for 472 magazines fell 2.2 percent from a year earlier to 328.4 million copies, ABC said today. In the first half, circulation declined 1.2 percent, the Schaumburg, Illinois-based trade group said.

Even the righties are losing rag sheets ....

Washington Times executives are negotiating to sell the newspaper, after the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's family cut off most of the annual subsidy of about $35 million that has kept the Unification Church-backed paper afloat, company officials said.

I find it somewhat frightening that the "Health" magazines are up relatively little while "Diabetic Living" is at a record high.
