Newsweek’s Horrible Unlife As a Propaganda Rag Continues
When I first saw this, I swore to myself it had to be some sort of Photoshopped spoof. It’s not, though. This is a real tweet from the official Newsweek Twitter account.
And this is the picture behind that link.
Great, huh? I remember when the magazine was respectable, when its editors and authors had some sense of pride. Those days are long gone, though. Now, the magazine is a vanity project for its “editor” Tina Brown, who only marketable ability has been to convince people with more money than intelligence that they should ignore her long string of failures and hand her the controls of another publication so she can pilot it into the side of a mountain.
But her descent into vapid propagandist can be our gain. Newsweek’s cover has already provided fodder for some delightful Photoshop responses that capture the tenor of the magazine perfectly. I’d take any one of them over the real cover. They, at least, show off some wit and maturity.

Today Frum did a rebuttal to it. I am not sure if it is just Tina Brown trying to stir up controversy. But surprisingly Frum was fairly critical of both Barack and Andrew. Which is something. Of course, he was still Frummy.
