Newsweek

Newsweek is a weekly newsmagazine, started in 1933. It is perhaps most famous for its now-debunked article about an incident at Guantanamo Bay in which a Koran was allegedly flushed down the toilet. The story was eventually proved false, and Newsweek was harshly criticized for it.
The criticism stemmed from the fact that Newsweek enjoys a nationwide audience and some degree of respect as a member of the newsmedia, and as such is expected to maintain a certain level of factual accuracy.
