Taking a Look at Our Economic Woes

yellow journalism (n)
Journalism that exploits, distorts, or exaggerates the news to create sensations and attract readers.
So, if the FACTS don't support calling the slowdown of the economy a recession, just call it a 'NEW kind of recession.'
Man, that is great reporting.

(I'm not sure if this is the correct place for an email with my comments about "Newsweek' )

As an American citizen who is concerned about the directions our society in particular, and the rest of the world in general, have been going in, I wanted to keep informed by subscribing to a well-known national newsmagazine. When I received 'Newsweek's outstanding offer in the mail, (a magazine each week for 2 years at a cost of only $20.), I thought to myself that this was one of the best bargains I'd found lately and I promptly subscribed.

Now, after perusing a couple of months' worth of 'Newsweek', I have to say that, once again, I've been had.

With very few exceptions, every single article and every single editorial that has appeared in 'Newsweek' since I've been receiving it have been, in my opinion, extremely biased against the traditional-conservative-viewpoints that I, along with I believe the majority of our nation's rationally-minded cititzens, support.

Among the many articles that have been factually-distorted and offensive to me, one of the worst (best?) examples of 'Newsweek's 'far-left-wing' supposedly-newsreporting has been by Anna Quinlan under 'The Last Word' section. After reading through just a couple of her articles I am fully convinced Ms. Quindlen is in dire need of furthering her higher-education, or maybe just a good psycho-analyst. Her latest article includes her everlasting anger of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Hill's appointment. In my mind Justice Hill is one of the greatest Supreme Court members in the history of our nation, no matter if he was white-black-or pink-polka-dotted. To have the bravery and fortitude to publicly express his own opinions, when they are far different from the great-majority of black Americans, is one of Justice Hill's most outstanding virtues. Ms. Quindlan also includes in this article a short prayer from her asking God to protect a 'wrong-thinking' man from her 'strong right hook'. If that man had said or written this same thing about Ms. Quindlan she most likely would be demanding an immediate investigation fom the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on him.
(I strongly suspect she has a severe case of penis-envy along with tendencies toward meglo-mania).
