To think that NewsWeek was once an actual journalistic endeavor... .

You know, I saw a Newsweek mag at the doctors office Tuesday....the WAL-MART sell paper that comes with the tri-weekly newspaper has more pages in it.

Once on a level with the other big names in journalism, its slide to the bottom began with Viet Nam and agenda-drien reporting.  It is now reduced to being virtually a Democrat fanzine sold for donations.

The very fine print under the letters PRE ins president, say " who isn't any of these things".  So once again NewSpeak is defending Dear Leader and trying to poke fun at his opponents.

While this is their intent, they failed miserably as 1) no one reads newsweek; 2) most folks are headline readers only; 3) it falls under the whole "if you have to explain the joke, then the joke isn't funny" category. 

This is a backfire of epic proportions.     My guess is that news stands will have this cover buried behind Cosmopolitan at airports.......  hahahahahaha.   

Oh Barry, see what happens when you count on the media to fight your wars?
