One of the most striking changes to Newsweek in recent months has been the influx of celebrity authors. The current issue alone contains contributions from Gordon Brown, Cindy McCain, Betty White, and A.Q. Khan, the Pakistani scientist who sold nuclear secrets to Iran, Libya, and North Korea; he penned an article titled, “I Saved My Country From Nuclear Blackmail.” The New Republic has obtained a copy of the table of contents for Newsweek’s next issue:

Yep, Tina Brown has a new approach to "news": let those in the news determine what is the news and report the news. Eliminates need for the middleman (what used to be called a "journalist").

Because of our traditions, we have kept our balance for many, many years. Here in America, we have traditions for everything: how to consume, how to spend, how to think. For instance, we always cover our asinine politicians, and always defer to the wealthy. This shows our constant devotion to Money. You may ask, how did this tradition start? I'll tell you. I don't know. But it's a tradition. And because of our traditions, every one of us knows who he is, and what the Plutocrat expects him to do.

After 30 years as a subscriber, I cancelled after seeing a cover featuring a tiny Barack Obama on a large white space as an illustration for an article by British reactionary and tenured professor Niall Ferguson denigrating our president. The best remedy for this disastrous reincarnation of a once fine news magazine is for others to cancel as well--their customer service department is by far its best, and I received a refund not long after I requested one by phone.
