2. Like most print magazines they almost went bankrupt and were aquired by IBT Media.

As all "news" goes to social media it becomes all about likes and clicks. This leads to poor journalism or lack of good journalism.

Truth and credibility become victim of the $$$. A good example of course is FOX, they success is not by being a news source - simply an entertainment enterprise.

Everyone these days likes to read stuff that portrays their way of thinking.

Jefferson believed that a free press was necessary to keep citizens informed and involved in government affairs. He also believed that the press had an obligation to report accurately, and that a press limited to truth needed no other legal restraint.

That obligation seems to now be based only money. I worry that our desire for positive feedback will lead us to a terrible outcome at some point.

3. As noted, Newsweek changed years ago. It's basically a tabloid now.

It's not even strictly a right-wing rag. They sensationalize for clicks, both toward the left and to the right, though they have seemed to be pushing more right-wing silliness of late.
