Not Waiting For The Asteroid
"As we think about ways to both inform and surprise readers of the magazine, the notion of having him as a guest editor seemed like a good one.”

At first, I thought this sentence suffered from a typo. Then, I thought to myself, "Maybe not. How clever!"

Let the suicide continue at the new accelerated pace.
And, not a whisper of criticism from others in th "news" community. How surprising.

Posted by: Arty at June 4, 2009 9:14 AMBeats the Vancouver Sun being edited by the fruit fly
Posted by: Tony W at June 4, 2009 9:21 AMAt least there's now a degree of honesty involved: a fake news personality editing fake news.
Perfect.
All Time has to do now is have Kent Brockman as a guest editor...
Posted by: JJM at June 4, 2009 9:38 AMIsn't that the news equivalent of hiring Clifford Olson as the principal of a Jr. High School?!?
Posted by: Sean at June 4, 2009 9:49 AMDoes this mean there will be a Newsweek's Vacation series?
Posted by: ural at June 4, 2009 9:51 AMAll that Newsweek needs now is breast implants and the Hefner Mansion.

Posted by: Cal at June 4, 2009 2:13 PMWhich imaginary TV character will be the next guest editor?
Donald Duck?
The Fonz?
AAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY!!!!!!
I mean as long as we're using entertainment characters in real life, let's get at it.
Perhaps the CEO of Newsweek would like Marcus Welby MD to do his next bit of brain surgery, it sure seems like he needs it.
Posted by: Stan at June 4, 2009 2:17 PMNewsweek much watch "The O'Reilly Factor". Dennis Miller's weekly current events funnyman routine definitely helps the entertainment value of the show.
Not surprisingly Newsweek is trying out the green model of a similar vehicle. What'll be missing is the solid factual chassis behind the humor that Miller provides which powers his humor to the level of social commentary. Newsweek readers instead will be left with something much less satisfying that bends in the middle when scrutinized.
The magazine will lose more than it gains...just like most ill-conceived green experiments.
