Mitt Romney And “DAY ONE”

Ronald 2 Comments

Mitt Romney, the Republican Presidential nominee, has utilized one term in his speeches and comments so often that it is irritating beyond belief.

Romney has pledged to do so many things, and all on “Day One”.

This man could not have enough time to do all that he pledges to do on “Day One”, even if he had four years.

It is part of the phoniness, and constant deception, of this man, and how any intelligent person could believe anything he says is beyond human understanding.

But it will not matter, as Mitt Romney, on “Day One” will be watching the inauguration of Barack Obama for a second term as President of the United States!

The Death Of Newsweek At Age 80 As A Print Periodical: A Sign Of The Times!

The announcement by the publishers of NEWSWEEK Magazine that it would stop print publication and only be available on line in 2013 and after is a sad commentary on the changes in journalism, with the rapid decline of print and the rise of electronic journalism as the answer for the future.

NEWSWEEK dies as a print publication on December 31, 2012, at the age of 80, having started publication in the worst year of the Great Depression, 1933, the first year of the Presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

It became a major competitor of TIME Magazine and US News and World Report, and now only TIME will survive as a print periodical, with no serious competition in the general news magazine market, on the news stands or by subscription.

Whenever any print journalism source dies, it is a loss to journalism, and sadly will add to the unemployment rolls!

While still on line, the world will never be the same once NEWSWEEK leaves us in print. It contributed a great deal to public discourse about important news events, and stirred intellectual debate. Overall, a very sad development!
