    Did anyone else get the "Pimmel über Berlin" (Penis over Berlin) pun? It riffs on "Der Himmel über Berlin" (The Heaven over Berlin) title of that famous Wim Wenders film aka Wings of Desire.

    No? Just me? OK, I'm a dork.

    Now why doesn't the NYT do a Murdoch mural like that on the side of their building? These German are taking us to school on how a real editorial feud is handled.

    You wanna save Sports Illustrated? GET RID OF TERRY MCDONNELL. The guy sat at Esquire watching circulation fall through the floor, his only real talent being to spend ungodly sums of money on basically nothing and for that he ends up being promoted to SI? I swear to god, the best way to save every magazine out there? Bag the over-paid, over-spending captian of the ship and keep everyone else's jobs.
    Tossing McDonnell is perhaps the best example of how this would save the industry.

    @manchops: Terry actually "sat at Esquire" doing just the opposite: publishing dozens of literary icons, many of whom are now in the canon thanks in part to Terry's faith in them. Talese, Mailer, McInerney, Salinger, Hunter S. Thompson, Joan Didion, Cormac McCarthy...are you kidding me?

    Under Terry's editorship, Esquire was an ASME finalist SEVEN times. Just try comparing Esquire's (well-documented recently by DiGiacomo in VF) pathetic fiction to the work Terry accomplished back then.

    @Immaculate:
    1) Jann promoted Terry because he earned that ME position.
    2) "Personal habits"? You're actually chastising someone who worked at Rolling Stone under Wenner in the early 80s for having fun?
    3) Jann and Terry, to this day, are close friends. If Terry stole anything from Jann, it was a series of classic Hunter S. Thompson anecdotes due to the fact that HST adored Terry and wasn't so fond of Jann.
    4) Nick writes his own novels. Terry is (and will proudly admit it) an editor, not a writer. And an effing legendary one, who works seven days a week, has completely revived si.com (who do you think oversaw the CNN partnership?), and most importantly, a gentleman.

    Jealousy doesn't justify idiotic, ignorant bashing of someone you clearly know nothing about.

    Have you noticed her styling lately? she always shows up on Morning Joe looking like she spent all night dancing on a banquette and didn't make it home to comb her hair or wash her face. I believe the young people would call her a "hot mess." #businessweek

    The Weingarten column was better than usual for him, and it drew on a close-to-the-surface reservoir of Swiftian anger at what his industry and publication have become. #media

    @Smitros: "The pattern of a newspaperman's life is like the plot of Black Beauty. Sometimes he finds a kind master who gives him a dry stall and an occasional bran mash in the form of a Christmas bonus, sometimes he falls into the hands of a mean owner who drives him in spite of spavins and expects him to live on potato peelings."

    @Smitros: Also: Only old Benjamin professed to remember every detail of his long life and to know that things never had been, nor ever could be much better or much worse; hunger, hardship, and disappointment being, so he said, the unalterable law of life.

    Especially since he fucked the thing up so badly. Linking to your earlier mention of the WMD item, as if it were a real news story, doesn't illuminate anything -- that item was utter bullshit, based on nothing. #newyorkpost

    If the 400 employees put up $12k themselves--the price of a Hyundai--they could have gone independent and kept it solvent and perhaps growing.
