Time's Idea of a "stronger point of view."

Doesn't "leaner" mean thinner? If you're selling advertising in your magazine, that can't be good. But the new management doesn't see it that way:

The magazine is cutting its rate base -- the weekly circulation guaranteed to advertisers -- from 4 million to 3.25 million, and raising the newsstand price by a buck, to $4.95.

Maybe they're bowing to the inevitable, but this worries me:

Time has already beefed up its Web site by importing such prominent bloggers as Andrew Sullivan and Ana Marie Cox, the former Wonkette.

Or, I should say, it would worry me if I cared about Time magazine. That train left long ago.

To cap that all off, Time's choice of Person of the Year ignores everything else going on and focuses on people posting to YouTube, most of whom seem to be posting copyrighted material from television. You'd think somebody besides Mark Steyn would be concerned about civilization's lack of a future, but, hey, what do I know?
