My opinion of Time and Newsweek has been consistently low for about 15 years. When I was in high school, I thought they were "serious" newsweeklies. I went so far as to keep a crate of them my library was discarding, with some vague idea of having them around for 'future reference' (mind you this was pre-web). Then, sometime in college, I picked one up and realized that it was essentially just a printed version of TV-caliber news. Out went the crate. Point of story: could it be you who have changed, not Time or Newsweek? (Though maybe they really did change -- media quality is a hard thing to deal with quantitatively or objectively.)
