I gave up magazine subscriptions to TIME & Newsweak (typo intended) was because of the rightwing crap that started when the media seemed complicit with the repukes to get Clinton by any means necessary. I had been a long time subscriber and loved both T and N magazines, but the Clinton hatred in the 1990s ended my magazine love affair. I found that I didn't miss them or the clutter they created.

As my eyes, in particular, have aged, I find tablet reading easier because the font can be easily adjusted. Yes, I miss underlining and starring or otherwise annotating but what did I end up doing with all the reading that has been so marked over the years It's in a trash heap somewhere!

Haven't subscribed to, or read, any print magazines in a few, OK more than a few, years HarveyDarkey Aug 2013 #1
