[lbo-talk] Familiar with The Week?

[Mark Bennett]

Rubbish.  It's basically a cut and paste job in which items from other media sources are paraphrased and quoted, usually three per subject.  Ideologically, I suppose it ranges from the Times to the National Review/Weekly Standard right, with the occasional Nation or Mother Jones piece tossed in for "balance".  It provides no information at all regarding any important issue or story; at best, it simply and briefly rehashes what someone else said about the issue or story.

Is anyone familiar with The Week magazine?  Is it the kind of magazine that
leans heavily toward a specific ideology?  I have not found an issue yet,
but was considering subscribing to it.
