...starting July 19, we hear, newsweek.com will no longer exist.

So next week we can all raise our glasses and toast the demise of a liberal media icon. Sure, it's going to redirect to the Daily Beast but that's not the point. It died because of what it was: another liberal mouthpiece...another Democrat Party organ that no one wanted to pay good money to see or read.

If Newsweek had been merely an unbiased source of news it would be thriving today.

Personally, I'm hoping this is a trend and others will follow.

What I am hoping is that there is a liberal media bubble that will tank in much the same way as the real estate market has.

We can do without at least a dozen or so of the national lib media outlets.

There has been a fairly severe thinning of the herd in the local/regional print media world although that has been primarily laid at the feet of the internet. Newsweek.com is (soon to be "was") an internet news media site, one of the "villains" in the storied deaths of traditional print media. Now that Newsweek.com (and really the print mag, too) is dead...what will be next?

Just goes to show, if it isn't other people's money, liberals will not support thier people.

Back in the day when TV was 3 channels and talk radio came on in the middle of the night Time catered to Democrats and Newsweek, Republicans.  Ha.  If they had made that a hard right instead of left they may have been prospering today.  When I'm sitting in a waiting room I look for Forbes.
