Newsweek at a crossroads

[SFG75]

I really like Meacham's articles, this one was quite different for me unfortunately.:sad: I hope they can turn the ship around, they have made some changes for the better by cutting down the number of stories they carried, and focusing on the content of the ones they leave in publication.

Apparently, blogger and author James McPherson would then tell you to "screw off". Which is the mature, non-vulgar way of putting it.

I dare the executives at TIME to state in front of a camera that such a photoshoot was conducted without any thought as to sales. . . .and maintain a straight face all the while.
