    Media Bubble: Judy Miller Grows Nostalgic for Prison

    • The Times's silence on Judy Miller has become absurd. [CJR]

    • But the Times's op-ed columnists, at least, all have excellent reasons why they haven't written about Miller Time. [E&P]
    • Beyonce is too black for the cover of Vanity Fair. Of course, so are we. [Radar]
    Men's Health spinoff Best Life ups frequency, rate base. Which is what you get from worshipping at the altar of your readers. [Mediaweek]
    • Former Time Warner chief Gerald Levin helps open super-high-end spa in Santa Monica. Next month, he'll merge it with eSpas.com and ruin the company. [LAT]
    • Mag bigshots should — of all things — take Jon Stewart seriously. [MarketWatch]
