Oh puleeeease! Murdoch & Sulzberger's competing media organizations may or may not engage in a proverbial war of the printed word, but to imply Murdoch sent written challenge to Sulzberger saying "let the war begin," is pathetic.
If this is the best Newsweek has to offer their customers, then its no wonder their circulation is diving, just as the circulation at the New York Times is diving. Although the NYT readership may be diving at a significantly greater pace.
These types of articles or reports, are not journalism, they are rumors or attempts by reporters to create story where there is none, in an effort to generate some sort of circulation fact. This is over the back yard fence gossiping and it is beneath any good journalist!
In addition, Murdoch's interest in the NYT must have not been truly serious, or he would have made a real offer. And why should he when the NYT really does not have a marketable product to compare with the Wall Street Journal franchise.
All Murdoch needs to do is be slightly patient with his new venture. Eventually quality product will simply overwhelm its competition. The NYT has held onto its incredibly undeserved moniker "America's newspaper" for way too long. It is totally undeserved at this time. It has been for perhaps three to five decades.
The NYT now represents only the supposedly superior cultural & academic elite. Just ask their primary readership and they will tell you how very much more superior than average Americans they are. They surely feel they deserve their own publication that reflects the world according to their convoluted concepts of global socialism where they and they alone run the world according to their perverted ideal's of wealth redistribution, so long as its everyone else's wealth!
Americans need publications like Newsweek to improve their content and seriously address facts so we can make informed decisions. When Newsweek pushes crap like this, they demonstrate why we cannot count on almost any of the stories they push. How many more vacuous stories have they pushed as real journalism and enticed gullible readers to believe? Is their reporting on Global Warming as factual and evidence based as they want all to believe, or is it based on push polls, and developed data that was created to support the theory that numerous scientists are now disputing. The seas will NOT rise twenty feet as Al Gore asserts & qualified scientists who participated in the UN reports already have discredited such incredible exaggerations as irrational and irresponsible alarmist false panic.
