Bachmann and The Beast

Tina Brown, editor of  Newsweek, clearly doesn't learn from her mistakes. I thought she had reached an  all-time low when she ran an undead Princess Diana photoshopped walking in the street alongside Kate Middleton. Now Brown  is running a hideously unflattering  cover of  Michele Bachmann, which actually says more about Brown than it does about Bachmann. Brown's online publication The Beast, which was merged with Newsweek, is the most aptly named publication of all time, even if  the name was derived from the Evelyn Waugh novel, Scoop. These grotesque covers draw  news coverage, but for a once-reputable publication like Newsweek, such coverage  is pure poison.
