How about a little conspiracy mixed with history?
When George H W Bush got help from his George Walker (and the CIA) when he started Zapata Oil back in the early 50s (1953?) he also had another investor, Eugene Meyer, owner of the Washington Post which, in turn, owns Newsweek.

If I remember correctly, it was this same Washington Post that lead the drive to out Nixon’s dirty laundry with Mr. Woodward on the job. Bush, at the time, was chairman of the Republican National Committee. One of Nixon’s threats was to reveal everything he knew about the Bay of Pigs and the whole Texas thing if Richard Helms didn’t lean on the FBI to curtail its investigation into the people involved in the Watergate break-in. The CIA does not take kindly to threats to its existence (see Dallas, 1963 and the same George H W Bush).
To tie this whole thing together, Bob Parry was the first journalist to expose the Iran-Contra goings on that were being run out of the vice president’s office. At the time, he worked for the AP. When he wouldn’t stop reporting on what was going on out of sight but under everyone’s noses, he was fired. He soon found work with Newsweek magazine. That job was short-lived as he would not leave the Iran-Contra crimes alone and he wasn’t too shy about implicating Bush in, not only Iran-Contra, but the illegal tampering with the 1980 election known as October Surprise.
The Bush family are old hands at committing federal felonies and walking away from them. It’s no surprise Newsweek would hire Rove.
