I grew up with three news magazines: Time, Newsweek, and US News and World Report. The first was always the most liberal. I always felt Newsweek was most balanced, and US News too conservative, even by my standards. Over time, either they have changed, or I have changed. Time is still the most liberal, but I can't tell the difference between Time and Newsweek any more. Most interesting to me: US News is almost as liberal as the other two. Having said that, I've always enjoyed and trusted its editor, Mort Zuckerman, even though on television talk shows he is often too liberal for my tastes, especially when I catch him on "Morning Joe."
His three-page op-ed piece this week is superb, and I would hope everyone reads it.
My concern is that at some point some rogue nation will really test Obama if Mort's views are accurate. If Obama fails the test, the price of oil will skyrocket. But that won't be good news for any of us, even those of us who are heavily invested in oil.
