I realize the death of a Pope is a big deal, but does it really deserve the cover of a magazine for two consecutive weeks? I’m looking at you, Newsweek. And you’re not much better, Time. Over the last few months, you’ve been phoning it in with cover stories on Mary, Jesus, God and medicine, and probably a few others I’m not remembering. I understand you’re trying to boost circulation in the red states, but how about tossing in some real news once in a while? I’m not saying you have to do it every issue. But every once in a while you might want to remind people about more earthly concerns, like the aftermath of the tsunami (remember the tsunami?) or the progress being made by the newly elected Iraqi government. Just a suggestion.
