Kaus And Newsweek, A Match Made In Heaven?

Share Button

Ann Althouse is already disappointed by the move of  mega blogger (and former Senatorial candidate) Mickey Kaus from Slate to Newsweek. Newsweek, as she notes, does not have a the greatest reputation lately.  The general train of though judging from the comments is that Kaus has made a mistake signing on to the incompetent magazine that is Newsweek…

Kaus is an idiot to sign up with those leftists.

I say “Hardly”. He still gets to write what he wants, all in all has better on-line circulation, and will, I assume, be getting paid more than he did at Slate. Newsweek is replicating the model used by The Atlantic when they lured internet star Andrew Sullivan over to write for them. You may or may not like Sully, but he single handedly put The Atlantic back on the map.
