There apparently isnt room for two sites at the Newsweek Daily Beast Company. The new joint venture will kill off Newsweek.com, even though its audience is larger than the Beasts.
Newsweek.com, the offshoot of a 77-year-old brand, has 3.8 million monthly unique visitors to the two-year-old Beasts 1.5 million, according to Compete.com.
The Beast is the survivor, said Stephen Colvin, the companys new CEO, Because the Daily Beast is a very credible and successful news and opinion Web site. And with great vitality and distinct voice.

Will the Daily Beast be forced to cut off Meghan McCain’s unlimited supply of jelly donuts as a result of the merger? Or will George Soros find the money to keep them coming?

I found the Daily Beast to be incredibly fascistic in tone to the extent I generally don't respond in any way to any of its stories cited in FR.
Haven't read anything from or about Newsweek in years except that it was sold for $1 and became even more unfathomably obtuse as it searches for more extreme ways to peddle Leftwingtard delusions.

Bet the corporation will not write off the goodwill on the balance sheet for the Newsweek brand and the newsweek.com website domain.
TO do so would nuke the entire deal.
Mark to fantasy fully embraced by the DailyBeast!!, news at... never, no one cares.
