Time/Newsweek

I usually read the Economist, 'cause its got facts and stuff, but I recently picked up a copy of Time and a copy of Newsweek.

The nice thing about American magazines is that we don't feel pressured to write "articles". Just put some ads in there, lawya! We trying to make dat cheddar! Fact checks are for homos!

I'm glad that ad revenue is more important than telling the news. I mean, how could this possibly have a negative effect? Its not like inadequate news sources could dumb down the debate, limit information, and lead to poor decision making. I'm sure having limited information had nothing to do with public support for an unjust war, or huge tax cuts that would lead to immense deficits, or Teri Schiavo.

USA! USA! USA!!!!!!!
