The dumbing down of just about everything


For the second time in a month the international edition of Newsweek gets a different cover and substantially more news than the domestic version. Is this because we are only interested in celebrity and sex? Probably, since that sells more magazine here. Just look at the other major weeklies out there: US, InTouch.....

It's so true! I noticed this growing up; we always got the Latin America version of Newsweek in Peru; the US version was always both fascinating for the gossip, and disappointing for the total absence of anything international (except the Middle East and Japan)
