First Newsweek tosses the American flag into a garbage can on the cover of their international edition, then they light it ablaze on the masthead of one of their blogs, which Matt Lewis dubs “A Blog for America Haters“.
Perhaps this is nothing but synchronicity, and I’m sensing a pattern where none exists, but, still, I can’t help but wonder how much of that hatred begins inside Newsweek’s offices and then flows outward.
In any case, so much for the burnished “mass with class” tone of Newsweek’s parent company in its heyday; but then, that facade was dropped there as well, long ago.
