Newsweek invaded by law enforcement in New York

Newsweek has a story about investigators from the Manhattan's D.A. office coming into Newsweek's offices as a part of "a long-running probe into financial improprieties." "The company is stable and on a firm financial footing," said Dev Pragad, chief executive of Newsweek Media Group. "In December, we saw the largest audience and revenue numbers in our history." He declined to comment further. Ace of Spades provides this picture of the armed investigators removing recently purchased computer equipment.

Ace's comment:

One sign that a company is on firm financial footing is the spectacle of armed policemen wheeling your recently-bought computer equipment into custody.

I and many others piled on Newsweek for this glorification of political violence -- but Newsweek didn't change or delete the tweet. So I guess after a night's reflection, they're happy to say that rioters, arsonists, and thugs "schooled" someone.

Gee, I wonder if Newsweek will have the same level of enthusiasm for political violence should someone come round to "school" them at their offices.

Do they think punches and bricks only fly in one direction? Are they that cocooned in baby-swaddling in their Safe Space to think violence is just a one-way Happy Fun Street?

Oh, and Gavin McInnes had his own speech violently disrupted, and he himself was pepper-sprayed in the face by a "protester."

Fake news

Newsweek has taken no action against their reporter, Kurt Eichenwald, who wrote that Donald Trump had been admitted to a mental asylum in 1990 due to erratic behavior brought on by "amphetamine derivatives." Now Eichenwald says it was a "joke and a signal to a source to talk to me."

Ace has more here.

Newsweek was ready!
