This is wrong on multiple levels. I mean if the title of your rag has news in the title, shouldn't you put a news story on the cover? And if the point is to raise more cash (the point of most media outfits) - isn't a cover with scary words, a dark-skinned guy and a rocket going to sell better? I mean outside of mostly coastal or artist elites, do many people even know who Annie is? If they don't, why would they buy this, and if they do ... well even among those sets, isn't she basically like three day old fish at this point?
Oh and yeah, in terms of what's good for creating an informed society ... well, clearly Newsweek isn't interested in helping that along in the US.
