Far-Right Influencer Denounces Trump Over Epstein: 'Liberals Were Right'.
https://www.newsweek.com/right-wing-influencer-denounces-trump-epstein-liberals-were-right-2100489

During Wednesday night's episode of the America First podcast, Fuentes responded to Trump's post, sharing a number of four-lettered words for the president, starting off with a strong: "F*** you. You suck."

"You are fat, you are a joke, you are stupid, you are not funny, you are not as smart as you think you are," Fuentes said, later adding, "This entire thing has been a scam."

They have articles with a progressive flavor and then they have some that are right-wing. I used to get Newsweek delivered to me back when I was in high school. Everybody in my AP history class had a subscription. Newsweek was considered liberal back then. Actually they were probably center-right, but that was the Reagan era and the country was pretty far to the right. Anyone who criticized Reagan was seen as liberal.

We have a lot of people in America right now who are disillusioned and disgusted. The Democrats need to speak to these people. I like what Bernie and AOC are doing now. Both of them are ethical true-believers. Maybe some of the former Trump supporters will see the good in them and compare it to the other guy, who is their polar opposite. I hope we can come together and turn the page on this distasteful period in our history.

I considered it to be "normal", neither right or left. When I started to subscribe to it in the 2000s I noticed that it was not the same publication I grew up reading. If a stupid 30 year old (me) could tell the difference than everyone should have been equally aware of their political slant.

I decided to subscribe to Time but that magazine and Rolling Stone were all the same by 2010. I refused to spend my hard earned and limited savings on BS GOP rags. I even thought George Will was reasonable for a long time. I am an idiot!

You might have been when you were younger (like we all were when we were young), but you see the error of your ways now. I forgot about George Will. He always seemed like someone who was in his own little world. He wasn't all bad. He left the Republican Party years ago, but he's probably a libertarian now. I miss David Brinkley and Sam Donaldson! We could use Sam in the White House Press Corps now.

historical reasons. I still have the ones going back to "Nixon Resigns, Ford Succeeds" in my footlocker from when I was 12. The print must be a 3" font size. It's sort of like the end of WW2. I also saved the copies of TIME that my neighbor gave me, like I said, I can't afford subscriptions but even if I could I would NOT subscribe to any of them now. I have the ones from 2016 and 2020 saved. I don't know why I do it since I no longer teach school and I don't have kids that would appreciate the historical significance.
