Confession

Time and Newsweek finally let the cat out of the bag. The story is about how readership is down and what they are doing to stay afloat, but this excerpt tells what everyone has known for a long time, they just finally pointed out the white elephant.

The rival editors are turning out weeklies that are smaller, more serious, more opinionated and, though they are loath to admit it, more liberal. They are pursuing a more elite audience, in print and on the Web, abandoning the old Henry Luce notion of catering to the masses.

They abandoned the Luce notion right after Reagan was elected. Sorry guys, but the masses are out there and want to read your mags, they are just tired of being told they are Racist Bigoted Homophobes, because they believe in God, the sanctity of marriage, and that a person should be hired/promoted/chosen because of their merits, not the color of their skin/sex/gender preference.
