If you haven't read Alter's hit piece this week you've gotta check it out - he basically accuses Bush of crimes so vicious against the American people that he essentially is pushing for execution, I think. At first it made my blood boil, but realizing the childishness and vacuity of his arguments made me smile with delight as I foresaw Newsweak's reputation in it's dying throes. They have gone from scurrilous to scandoulous - and they don't care. It is the most poorly managed "news" agency going, I expect them to go insolvent within the next year.
I recall that either Howard Kurtz and/or Howard Fineman at Newsweak high fived people in the office when that first bunko exit poll (60% women, all inner city respondants) showing that Kerry would win. I remember preparing myself for a Kerry presidency when the first reports from places like NRO said those polls were poorly done and inacccurate; ergo Bush went on to win a crushing victory.
ADd revenues are in the toilet.
Thanks for the good news.
