I want out of this fishwrap of a magazine. I thought Newsweek was a publication for serious people that read the news. Instead, it is little more than the traditional media wing of an online propaganda machine. Now that I want out, a fair minded and liberal pundit would let me cancel my subscription and go. Instead, you will give me no such option.
Like some sort of cult, I was welcomed in freely but am now being bombarded by special offers and premiums. I do not want to simply leave and let my credit card info remain in your direct mail database.
Since Newsweek won't allow me the decent option of cancelling my subscription (just about every magazine DOES let you unsubscribe when you want to), then somebody here needs to unsubscribe for me. To deny me cancellation of my own subscription is unacceptable. Newsweek sucks! You dead tree pulpers wouldn't know what a progressive thought was if it bit you in the roots. To you, a progressive thought is whatever Michael Isikoff spoonfeeds you.
A tremendous amount of you are Newsweek readers because mommy and daddy were. Time Magazine and US News & World Report are just as full of blind conformists that are simply toeing the line they've been told to from the get go, with little regard to actual political thought, let alone progressive political thought. The amount of blind conformity that goes on in America is what fuels the corrupt three-news-magazine system. Newsweek exemplifies blind conformity, and I regret any and all association I have had with it.
I should be allowed to unsubscribe and go; Why should I be forced to stay amid this pathetic cult of personality? The herd mentality that goes on here sickens me now, AND I WANT OUT. Regardless of my personal experience here, EVERYBODY WHO SIGNED UP TO THIS MAGAZINE SHOULD BE FREE TO UNSUBSCRIBE IF THEY SO WISH TO. For Newsweek to deny us this is downright fascist.
Since I can't unsubscribe myself, my only recourse is to be as abrasive and disruptive as I can be UNTIL MY SUBSCRIPTION GETS DELETED. As long as my subscription remains here, I do not feel comfortable leaving. Is it really such a tough request to unsubscribe me so I can go? Just what kind of magazine lets you join up but won't let you leave? One that regards people as little more than statistics, that's what. How like the traditional media for Kos to view his magazine's members as little more than statistics.
CANCEL MY FUCKING SUBSCRIPTION, KOS. You don't want me hanging around, and neither do I.
