After reading TIME for a while, it became boring. Newsweek is flashy, the cover stories arent so boring, and the format is better. For a news magazine, Newsweek beats TIME

Newsweek has an obvious liberal slant. It seemed like 9 times out of 10, the articles had a left-wing bias. So if you're in to "journalism" with a liberal agenda, this would be for you. My subscription just ran out and I will not be renewing it.

"Newsweek" is great! Form the cover stories to the regular sections, it has a great variety to catch you up on the week's news. For the "Prosepectives" section to the "Test Drive" and "Tip Sheet." The magazine brings the week together and entertains at the same time. I love "Newsweek" it is a great wat to stay current!

I'd rather read "Newsweek" than listen to Dan Rather every night on the tube, (forgive the play on words.) Just horsing around. Now that that's out of my system, I'd like to say for those out there who haven't had an opportunity to read this wonderful magazine in the past, now would be a great time to do so, "Newsweek," provides the reader with in depth articles, book reviews, stories from right here at home and around the globe, interesting columns written from both the liberal point of view as well as the conservative, and to round it all out don't forget the entertainment value. In my opinion "Newsweek" is an easy sale.

Newsweek was intended for the reader who isn't really interested in thinking or knowing much about current events, but wants to pretend like he's informed. The articles are often superficial, biased, and of limited usefulness to the informed citizen.

On issues ranging from Global Warming, taxes, the budget, and campaign finance reform, Newsweek pooh poohs one side of the debate in favor of the other, and often gives shoddy analyses of both sides. The writers also try to mix in undeeded sensationalism into their articles (though not to the tabloid level).

On the positive side, the quotes page and political cartoons are often enjoyable, and occasionally there will be a good syndicated column mixed in with the grabage.

Time is much better, although I certainly wouldn't recommend that magazine either. If you really want to be an informed citizen, stick with your local paper and supplement that with opinion magazines or aticles from the left and right. Don't waste money on this magazine. With the web, you can obtain far more enjoyable, objective, diverse, and balanced coverage for free.
