Time or Newsweek

I want to subscribe to a weekly news magazine. Which of the two in the subject line will be least likely to piss off an ACLU card carrying, flaming liberal military veteran? Thanks for you input.

1. Why only these two choices?

Aren't there more? How about "The Onion?" :D

3. U.S. News is off the list

I want a weekly. If you have a suggestion, I'd appreciate it. I do enjoy the Onion online.

5. Can you define your criteria?

I would suggest the New Orleans Gambit or Memphis Flyer (both are free weekly papers), but I don't know what you are looking for in a weekly.

Here's a list of weeklies compiled by Common Dreams:

6. Thanks very much

I get the Gambit at every opportunity. I'm looking for a synopsis of national and international news I can peruse during the week until the next one comes. Something without the lunatic rantings of the "editorial" writers found in U. S. News and World Report. Something with an occasional non-news feature about medicine or money.

7. The Nation

is published weekly (except for the second week in January, and bi-weekly the third week of July through the second week of September).

This is what it says on the Editorials page of the October 17, 2005, issue.

8. Of those two Newsweek is

slightly better.

I used to subscribe to both, let the Time subscription lapse, and only renewed because they all but paid me to resume.

And despite what some others here might say, it is quite useful to get one or the other of those, because they are not too terribly right-wing (although some of their columnists are, in my opinion) and do a reasonable job of covering the top mainstream stories each week.
