Here, courtesy of Mark Spahn, is an interesting take on the Newsweek cover that has been making news this week. I'm not the least bit surprised by the cover. It's an obvious attempt to influence people's attitudes toward Michele Bachmann. That's not journalism; it's propaganda. The cover will excite progressives, but it will harm Newsweek, which is now indelibly marked—if it wasn't already—as an unreliable source of political information.
