Wither Newsweek?

Top editor Jon Meacham left Newsweek after the magazine merged with Tina Brown’s Daily Beast website. And man, is it starting to show. This is what is passing for content in the once venerable magazine/website: Seven Biggest Movie-Ratings Fights (list), Faces of the Christian Right (slideshow), Moonshine’s Not Just For Hillbillies Anymore (story), Egypt Shark Attacks Spur Conspiracy Theories (story), Last Night on 'Glee': Can the ReWalk Cure Paralysis? (story), What the Internet Killed (slideshow), WikiLeaks – the Movie (slideshow), The 11 Best Holiday-Gift Freakouts (list). Depressing, ain’t it?
