Newsweek Writer Hits Medical Group With Opinion Labeled As News
By Joseph Rossell | June 15, 2015 | 2:41 PM EDT

Newsweek senior writer Kurt Eichenwald publicized what he called an “ugly civil war” between doctors and one of America’s largest medical organizations in a series of lopsided attacks on the group some of which remain labeled as "Tech & Science" rather than opinion.

Eichenwald, a liberal who once asked if conservatives were “ever right,” is an award-winning former Time magazine investigative reporter. Beginning in March, he wrote multiple pieces for Newsweek about alleged problems with the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) and a fight brewing with doctors. While ABIM responded by saying the group was making some needed changes, it accused Eichenwald and Newsweek of misrepresenting opinion as news.

Newsweek, the weekly magazine with a penchant for controversial covers, reappeared in retail outlets across the country on Friday after more than a year as a subscription-only digital periodical. According to the Daily Beast, the publication's online partner, “a historic title is back from the dead."

As has often happened in the past, the new magazine's cover story has generated a controversy, this time by identifying Dorian Satoshi Nakamoto as the elusive founder of the crypto-currency Bitcoin, causing reporters from many other news outlets to swarm outside his home in Temple City, Calif.

Columnist David Frum Leaves Daily Beast With Typical ‘Move Leftward’ Advice for GOP
By Randy Hall | June 7, 2013 | 10:57 AM EDT

It's always heartwarming to see non-conservatives who are so concerned about the current state of the Republican Party that they generously provide advice on how the GOP can be more popular and win more elections. Unfortunately, if those recommendations were actually followed, conservatives would have no political party to call home, and all elected officials would be “progressives.”

One such provider of unsolicited advice is David Frum, a contributing editor at such liberal outlets as The Daily Beast who announced his departure from that outlet with more predictable urgings for the GOP to move leftward on such issues as Obamacare and the environment.
