George's contract with its current publisher, Paris-based Hachette Filipacchi Medias, expires at the end of the year.
But rumors of the magazine's demise are not new, and have proved wrong in the past.

George’s demise has been anticipated for so long, now that it’s finally here it comes as something of a shock.
Neither Kennedy nor his successor ever solved the problem at the heart of George: They never figured out how to explain the magazine to skeptical media buyers, who shied away from advertising in a magazine that appeared to be neither fish nor fowl.

Stewart himself is in such demand as a cultural arbiter that he recently moderated a panel on the future of the magazine industry, which might seem odd unless you know that ''The Daily Show" owes a creative debt to one magazine in particular: George.
A decade ago it was provocative to suggest, as George did, that the dividing lines among politics, pop culture, and celebrity had become so blurred as to be meaningless.
George covered up-and-coming commentators such as Bill Maher, Matt Drudge, Arianna Huffington, and Michael Moore, all of whom blended journalism, pop culture, and politics in a decidedly unorthodox manner.

So if George Magazine wants to use this "document" as the conclusive proof that Bush was in Alabama, then it must explain the rest of the document as well, and disprove Bush's official military record and the testimony of witnesses in Houston.
George Magazine is relying upon handwritten annotations that are not part of the original "document", without identifying the source of these annotations.

George also refused to credit his Texas commander's written statement from the time that Bush had not been observed, arguing speciously that the commander had erred on a peripheral matter and therefore was not trustworthy to know which officers were or were not on his post.
