2. So sad...so very sad. Does anyone else feel like he or she |
|
is staring out at the big mysterious world from behind the iron (or is it plastic?) curtain?

3. no one is making you buy or read newsweek. there are other sources of information |
|
Yeah, its a stupid cover. But look it at this way. If it gets someone to buy the magazine and they read more than the cover story and learn something, is it bad? Are they dumbing down or are they simply responding to sales figures that show what covers sell more than others? Cause and effect? Effect and cause?

5. It's all about selling their rag. Americans have a taste for this... |

crap. Sadly, the media is only making the problem worse. "Girls Gone Wild" is not a worthy story for a real news magazine. Paris and Britney serve no meaningful purpose to our society. I don't give a damn about their stupid doings, as such!
This is why I use the internet to get my news. I'd like to be able to read the profile of the hundred dollar computer, if it is available on-line.
