Excellent, excellent must-read piece at Ace o’ Spades HQ on the failure of Newsweek magazine. Read the whole thing.
Newsweek became essentially indistinguishable from a teen “fan” magazine — as if Tiger Beat featured Obama on the cover of every issue. Rolling Stone has greater intellectual depth.
So, for that matter, does Highlights for Children.

Typical night, problems coming at us out of the blue.
John(20:22:39): Russ, I thought for sure that you were gonna jump on that NETGATE ANIRA BIAB issue
Russ(20:23:31): I don’t usually like to jump on an issue if it looks like they just, y’know, made up the words used to describe it
John(20:26:20): what is ANIRA anyway?
Russ(20:26:43): dunno
Russ(20:27:01): sounds like a made-up sci-fi chick name
