FWIW, I had a subscription over a decade ago. I can’t say I ever thought of it as “Left”, it was at best, corporate center. But it definitely has gone more right as it has also gone more sensationalist. They partnered with Daily Beast for a while, and then were sold to IBT media, an international “news and Information” conglomerate. I think your memories are from the old hard journalism days, and they have gone back to corporate, but corporate-right.
Isn’t all corporate, right or center? This is maybe a me problem but I think of the Democrats as a center right party because of their policies regarding corporations.
You can assume a right-center bias for almost any outlet, and I think mediabiasfactcheck needs to recalibrate, if we are being honest. See their assessment of NYT, as a for instance.
Huh, I had assumed Newsweek was mostly left, but it looks like you’re correct:
I haven’t read it in over a decade though…

Wow, yeah. I thought Newsweek was a staunchly centrist organization.
Not shilling for them but I like ground news for the bias ratings.
The ground premise is interesting and all my lefty podcasts have offer codes. I’ve been thinking about giving them a try
I bought into a year of the vantage plan and it’s been pretty good. It actually renewed a couple of months ago. I check it every day generally.
