As a Newsweek subscriber of 20 years (and J-school grad) I find myself reading the magazine less and less each week. I get almost all the same information from the internet and NPR. And now, Newsweek is paying folks like Karl Rove to write pieces. I don't care what side of the political fence they come from, political hacks should be the subjects of stories, or sources, but they shouldn't be supplying unrefined and unrefuted spin straight to the printed page. That's the #1 sign to me that Newsweek has lost it's way.
