I am just asking for an opinion. But My family has a free subscription to Time and I bought the last Newsweek because it has an article about Jon Stewart.

4. Newsweek
Which might lend a bit of credibility to MSNBC (or at least thier online services), no?

5. Time shipped their maintenance computer programming
jobs overseas. Also laid off at least 4 of their senior programmers over a year ago, right before Thanksgiving. I vote Newsweeek.

9. Neither should be considered "news" sources.
multicoloured pie graphs and celebrity Q&A sessions does not a news bureau make.

Time is plain stupid, and NewSpeak is only slightly better.

10. US....wait that wasn't a choice was it....
In that case Newsweek. Less conservative...but not by much.

12. Neither
Both whore for the GOP, only Time is more blatant about it. As for Newspeak, any magazine that would publish Whoreward Fineman and Sissy Issykoff should be put on the bottom of a rat cage and left there!

15. Newsweek has Anna Quindlen. But it also has George Will.
So, that sort of cancels each other out.

I slightly prefer Newsweek.
