I had a subscription to Newsweek for years, starting in college. It always had a few annoying writers, but it was tolerable and it was a good way to get a summary of world events, especially pre-internet and in school, no TV, etc. When they teamed up with the Daily Beast, it fell apart. A perfect example of everything woke turns to shit.

Walter Kirn wrote piece this past summer on Substack called 'The Bullshit '. A great read about what has happened over the last few decades and relevant to what is currently playing out.

Edit to spell Kirn, not King. Grrr autocorrect...
