Ditto.

But then we are in the middle of the decades-long process of handing everything over to juveniles. And big media is at the vanguard of this sea change.

Also, though geopolitics and Presidential politics aren't really my hobby, a part of me is kinda generally okay with the "zero pieces of legislation" part.

I haven't seen it in years. I think it was down to pamphlet-thickness last time I saw it. Maybe it's mainly a website + a PDF magazine now?

They are only hard hitting journalists "speaking truth to power" when it's a Republican in office. They were on their knees, heads bobbing like a pigeon when Obama was president.

Other than that, I guess the article might have some merit.

I'm completely anti-Trump but I don't think it's a good idea for them to be putting that on the cover. It's childish and immature. The office of President deserves more respect than that, no matter who's occupying the office.

Newsweek has been on an anti-Trump Fake News bent for the past year... only now do you anti-Trumpers look at it? You should go read Elle, Cosmo, and whatnot... they been anti-Trump for the same amount of time...

A lot of those covers are going to end up in picture frames.
Pretty good way to sell magazines.

Expect to see more like it in the future.

They are trying to save themselves from going down the toilet by getting on the anti-Trump train. Saturday Live was also in its final swirl in the toilet, and riding on the anti-Trump has saved them from extinction so far.

I don't think many people did. I guess this was the way to get some attention. You know, like when kids don't care if it is negative attention, just as long as they get attention.

Did you notice they had to make it cartoon-like to get the attention of their audience?

Facts? Now, you know the anti-Trumps are uncomfortable with facts, they don't know what to do with them. They aren't ready for grown-up news yet, they just suck their "news" from the the bottle that CNN holds for them.
