Have you seen the Newsweek cover?

[Raoul]

You won't believe this.

[JPR1959]

Not surprising given our current state of journalism.

Second coming (of a raging herpes outbreak).

I'm confused. What are we supposed to be shocked about? What am I missing in this link?

I agree. Only shocking because there's no halo with The Second Coming cover.

 

 

 

Oh, here it is, I forgot they already used it.

Didn't they just go online only?

I was involved in an interesting panel discussion the other evening with John Seigenthaler, the longtime editor of the Tennessean and USA Today discussing new media and groups such as wikileaks. He made an interesting point that with modern "news media" we have forgotten how to tell the difference between news and opinion, and they're all too happy to sell us the later.

As a side note, I hope when I'm 85, my voice remains half as relevant as his.

Is there any wonder why Newsweek was purchased for $1?

[Guest Lester Weevils]

So now that Newsweek isn't even printed on dead trees, what makes em any more significant than the other millions of blogs?

BLASPHEMY!

 

The act or offense of speaking sacrilegiously about God or sacred things; profane talk.

Newsweek?  Are they still around?  Their circulation is what, 20 or 30?  I'll bet that they sell more magazines to conservatives who get outraged by the cover than to anyone else.

 

A lot of liberal media are like that.  They only make money because ticked-off conservatives pay attention to them.  That doofus Piers Morgan only has viewers because he makes conservatives mad.  I refuse to let them maker money from me.  Ignore them and they will disappear.

Second coming is right!

 

 

The first time he tempted Jesus on a mountain for 40 days.

Looks like Revelation is playing out quite nicely.

[Guest HvyMtl]

And you wonder why they do not have a published paper edition?

 

Perhaps the journalism was so weak no one bought it? 

 

Nah. Couldn't be that, now, could it?

I see precisely what you did there.  :up:
