We’ve been talking a lot about Newsweek lately due to a near record number of ridiculous stories and other tales of Trump Derangement Syndrome. However, this story has more to do with what happened at Newsweek’s office than what they reported:

So what’s going on?
Raided or visited?

Hmm. Does somebody need to borrow Hillary’s tech department’s device-smashing hammer?
That Hillary article was bad but this seems a bit over the top. https://t.co/WhCZegQXMg

Somebody had to do it.
Dang. When we called the article "criminally dumb," we didn't mean literally. https://t.co/Vk3PW6N32m

not sure I'd say "raided"–they apparently just took photos of the servers.

Wait.
Why does it look like Newsweek's HQ is in an old bodega? https://t.co/vFcRsHvZbp

Oh God. This is going to be spun as Trump fascist crackdown on the press in the fever swamps.
