Their journalists are asking tough questions eh.
Shame it doesn't extend to anything that actually matters.  You know, that small matter of an ongoing coup de tat in the USSA.

It's common knowledge in intelligence that TIME and NEWSWEEK are both front companies for the CIA. 

You cannot become a "journalist" in our time unless you are agency owned and operated. They don't allow actually decent people into reporting positions, only droids who do and write what they are told.

Leaked audio of a private meeting between a Newsweek executive and the magazine's editors on Wednesday reveal that the beleaguered news organization is tearing apart at the seams following allegations of financial crimes; including tax evasion, money laundering, and defrauding a federal agency in an ad revenue scheme.

Audio of the 90 minute meeting between Newsweek Chief Content Officer Jonathan Davis and editors was obtained by the Daily Beast, in which the editors took Davis to the woodshed...
Last week we reported that the magazine had fired editor-in-chief Bob Roe, executive editor Ken Li, and journalist Celeste Katz - who had written articles covering the active investigation into parent company Newsweek Media Group. Davis blames Katz's reporting for doing "real damage" to Newsweek's business relationships, and that it "ruined a business deal abroad."

Davis grew increasingly defensive, saying Newsweek’s own journalists had written “hit pieces” which “attacked” the company, adding “if we had integrity we should be defending the company.”
“Why do we need to do this necessarily to ourselves?" Davis asked. "In the name of integrity?" -Daily Beast

Katz also wrote a recent article critical of Newsweek Chief Content Officer Dayan Candappa, who was placed on leave after Katz's article detailing allegations that he sexually harassed women while he was a top official with Reuters.
Following Candappa's suspension, Davis stepped in as interim CCO - however Candappa was reinstated in the role today.

Big on diversity, all these news outlets. Huffington ONLY has women as reporters and editors. Fact. No white males, unless gay.

In an email sent to staffers on Friday, the company said that after a “thorough investigation,” an independent law firm “did not find evidence to substantiate the reported allegations of sexual harassment during his tenure with his previous employer.” -The Wrap

Davis admitted that editors Bob Roe and Ken Li were let go after they ignored management's calls to stop publishing Katz's ongoing coverage of the Manhattan DA's ongoing financial investigation of Newsweek - whose New York offices were raided January 18. Katz reported that authorities were investigating a potential "money trail" between former Newsweek Media Group executives and Olivet University, a California Christian College.

90 Minutes of Gold

During the 90 minute recorded meeting between CCO Jonathan Davis and editors, Davis repeatedly had his wig split by the staff which appears to be on the verge of mutiny.
Via the Daily Beast:

“[The raid] led to the BuzzFeed article about the fake clicks, which you orchestrated,” breaking news editor Gersh Kuntzman said. “So you should be honest with everybody in this room: Are we running a money laundering operation? Are we evading taxes? You need to tell us that because we can’t work here if you’re a liar.”
Davis deflected, citing the ongoing investigation by the Manhattan DA.

Throughout the meeting, Davis claimed Newsweek’s reporting on the raid and other internal matters ruined a business deal abroad that would’ve “changed the course of our business.”
“The recent string of articles has done real damage to our business relationships, to our partners,” Davis said. “So there’s a larger business context.”

“Do you think that the articles we published did more damage than the fact that we were raided and accused of ad fraud and there was a sexual harassment story that came out and there were questions about the ownership?” one editor responded.

“Yes,” Davis answered moments later.

As the meeting went on, editors became increasingly angry at Davis' repeated attempts to deflect serious questions. One editor said that the staff had "barely learned anything," aside from Davis being "not credible."

“What we know now is the people we’re working for right now are not credible and do not understand journalism at all, and apparently have no plan for going forward,” Silverstein said. “And you’ve given us not a single reason why anyone should continue working for you.”

Davis, who co-founded Newsweek's parent company which bought the magazine in 2013, acknowledged that he had been absent from the company for nearly a year and a half, and that he was unhappy about being there on Wednesday. He said he returned as interim CCO to help perform damage control ("stem what's happening"), after Candappa was placed on leave.

In review: Rogue Newsweek journalist sheds light on an ongoing criminal investigation by the Manhattan DA, along with sexual harassment complaints against a now-reinstated executive. Journalist and two editors are fired, and a large contingency of journalists and editors within the organization are asking tough questions.

Where a large number of clicks per page are involved, in this New Yellow Journalism Era, it is usually because of covering sex-gossip topics, much like the National Enquirer.
Attention progressives at all publications: It is important for the IRS get its share of any proceeds from national sex gossip.

How, otherwise, will government fund all of your progressive, pay-per-birth programs that make it easy for illegal alien households with a sole, male breadwinner and single-mom households to undercut citizens with earned-only income and rent that chews up more than half of their pay in jobs?
The pay-per-birth crowd “works the system,” staying below the earned-income limit for the free EBT food, the free or reduced-cost rent, the monthly cash assistance, the electricity assistance, the subsidized daycare and, last but not least, the now-doubled child-tax-credit welfare up to $6,444.
All of this pay for sex and reproduction costs money — your money — for writing click-rich sex-gossip pieces.

If Donald Trump said, "Listen America, you gotta breathe.  If you don't breathe you'll turn blue and pass out.", Rachael Maddow would be on her show telling America to, "Resist the evil Trump.  Stop breathing!  Show that fucker!"  Fox News would report it as sage wisdom from a great leader.


"...You need to tell us that because we can’t work here if you’re a liar.”
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!
The funniest part of that is that they were NOT joking!  People at Newsweek claiming that they have the slightest bit of integrity?  Sheesh!  Next they will be on the HRC Why You Made Me Lose The Election tour!
