Newsweek Mocks 'Poor Little CEO's,' Attacks Private Sector
The news media love to bash businesses and support regulation, so Newsweek's mockery of the CEO class and claims that they accomplished nothing between 2001 and 2009 shouldn't be a surprise. In his July 20 "Poor Little CEO's" story, Newsweek's Daniel Gross, known for his "tea bagging" comments and staunch defense of Obama, derided a July 12 "Jobs for America" summit held by the U.S…

Newsweek Fawns Over Lady Gaga's Music Videos
Newsweek’s Ramin Setoodeh apparently really likes controversial pop star Lady Gaga, enough to praise her for revolutionizing music vidoes while ignoring her controversial "artistic" decisions.

Attacks on Business Fill Newsweek's List of 'Best Business Literature
If Newsweek magazine isn't anti-business enough for you, perhaps their list of "Business Books You Need to Read Now" will satisfy.

Newsweek included an interview with each book's author. The list included: "War at the Wall…
Newsweek's Graham: Conservative Ire Over New Black Panther Voter Intim
During the previous presidential administration, the liberal media were more than happy to promote the Left's allegations of improper political interference by Bush officials in the workings of the federal government.

Eleanor Clift: Obama's Poll Numbers Down Because He Hasn't Blamed Bush
After the release of a number of polls Tuesday showing President Obama's favorability rating plummeting, his minions in the media were out in force trying to blame the slide on something or someone else.Newsweek's Eleanor Clift, ever the dutiful shill always at a Democrat's service when the chips are down, took a predictably absurd tack: Obama hasn't blamed George W. Bush enough for all that ails…
Newsweek Bombshell: 'Environment No Longer a Surefire Political Winner
After pushing manmade global warming for years, the folks at Newsweek appear to be cooling on the idea.Prominently placed at the front page of the magazine's website Monday was a large, overhead picture of what appeared to be a golf fairway or park with the following headline in green:A Green Retreat: Why the Environment is No Longer a Surefire Political WinnerEven more surprising was the…
Newsweek Mocks Reagan Enthusiasts As Idolatrous Conservatives with Sha
With just a few word changes, Andrew Romano's lead paragraph for his latest Newsweek item would make perfect sense: Grown men don’t tend to worship other grown men—unless, of course, they happen to be professional journalists, in which case no bow is too deep, and no praise too fawning, for the 44th president of the United States: Saint Barack Obama.Only in his version, it's "professional…
Time: 'Is Bobby Jindal Making Sense
While the media have apparently given up -- if they ever seriously attempted -- on holding the Obama administration to account for its handling of the Gulf oil spill cleanup, Republican governors in the Gulf are a different story, particularly Louisiana's Bobby Jindal, a potential 2012 presidential hopeful.In a short post at Time.com entitled "Battlefield General: Is Bobby Jindal Making Sense?",…
Newsweek Promotes Parent-free Pill Access for Teens
Should it be easier for your teenage daughter to get birth control pills without your knowledge? One Newsweek contributor thinks so. In a July 7 op-ed, Meredith Melnick praised the “movement” to make the Pill more accessible by making it available over the counter, in part because it would remove parents from the equation. “Teenagers are particularly vulnerable to access problems because it is…
Newsweek: Sexist Treatment of Republican Women is Sarah Palin's Fault
Newsweek on Saturday did an astonishingly poor job of exploring why Republican women are suddenly being attacked for their beauty even suggesting it's all the former governor of Alaska's fault."There seems to be an insistent, increasingly excitable focus on the supposed hotness of Republican women in the public eye, like Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Michelle Malkin, and Nikki Haley-not to…
The NYT's Skewed View: Liberal Newsweek 'Strives to Be Apolitical," Fa
Two stories in Thursday's New York Times featured the paper avoiding pinning liberal labels on two media organs: the liberal newsmagazine Newsweek and the far-left political blog Daily Kos.Reporter Jeremy Peters insisted in Thursday's Business Day that the left-leaning magazine Newsweek was "apolitical," yet easily spotted a right tilt in two potential purchasers of the struggling weekly: "2…
Failing Newsweek Rejects Bid from Conservative Buyer
If the folks at Newsweek had a Bartlett's handy, they might know that Albert Einstein is credited with defining insanity as "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." But The New York Times reported June 30 that the Washington Post Company is committed enough to the failing magazine's liberal ideology that it has rejected a bid from a conservative buyer. "The…
Newsweek Blogger: Tea Party Coverage Isn't Harsh Enough
Newsweek blogger Ben Adler thinks the national media are giving the Tea Parties gentle treatment. "Unfortunately," Adler wrote in a June 21 post, "what appear to be false notions of objectivity - or perhaps a lack of interest in policy - is preventing that coverage from illuminating what the movement actually represents and what it would do if empowered." Adler complained that a recent…
