    I really like the magazine. Although maybe part of their problem is they offered me a "special deal" of only $10 a year.


    I'd still visit their Web site if the print issue got canned, but I think they do some good stuff in print and damnit, I'm tired of print dying.

    This is good news. I like this magazine.


    Although I will still never forgive Owen Gleiberman for giving an "F" grade to O Brother Where Art Thou?

    "the Economist, which contains as much viewpoint as news"


    That's a dilettante's understanding. The Economist runs "leaders" (editorials) at the front of the magazine, and articles do posit points of view but this is more a stylistic device than editorializing and it's a welcome contrast to dull and phony "balance" of, say, the typical NY Times piece. (Is it just me or is the Times deliberately boring?)


    More to the point of this post would be the arrogance that colors a lot of the Economist, and this is apparent in the Economist alums like Elliott who move on to prominent jobs in American media. Clive Crook writes for the Atlantic Monthly and he does have a bit of British schoolboy arrogance.

    @ifstone: And yet somehow The Economist manages to convey actual news, despite its explicit leaders, whereas too many other media outlets are just that--outlets for some corporate master or other.

    @Hydroceph: Yes, and compared to the Economist, magazines like Time and Newsweek are like TV news. But that makes Elliott's migration even more dubious.

    Mike Elliott is an asshole. I was gonna say douche but you've retired the word. I used to work for him at Newsweek International. He wouldn't give me a raise on 22K a year (this was 1997, but still!), and amount that wouldn't have kept him in lunch. He was in perpetual midlife crisis and used to ask all the hot chicks to come in on Sundays when the office would be dead empty. He drove out all the crusty old correspondents who actually knew something about, say, the middle east because they made him feel old. Then replaced them with these idiot 25-year-old Brits who wrote about trends in Japanese underwear or whatever. By the time 9/11 rolled around he'd rid the magazine of its best and most serious correspondents.
