Foreign Policy, “a global magazine of politics, economics, and ideas,” has “just delivered its new issue, and like Newsweek before,” the Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard noticed Friday afternoon, “FP dubs Obama ‘The Second Coming.’” Three weeks ago, I observed:

Shorter Ezra Klein Nov. 21 column: Let them eat wonky policy papers!

If this is Klein trying to win the contest for the best impersonation of the inside-the-beltway 'Grinch Who Stole Christmas,' he may have pulled it off. In a not-so-stunning admission in his column, Klein argues that giving, if targeted at political non-profits, is a more effective means of doing good.

A 1988 poll by a New York-based newsletter, Journalist and Financial Reporting, surveyed 151 business reporters from over 30 publications ranging from the Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, USA Today, New York Times and Chicago Tribune to Money, Fortune and Business Week. The survey found that newspaper and magazine business reporters are just as liberal as their colleagues covering politics.

Stephanie Clifford (pictured) got in some cheap digs at Mary Berner of Reader's Digest, who is retrenching the magazine toward its conservative roots.

Reporter Stephanie Clifford, who covers media advertising and marketing, made the front page of Friday's Business section talking about the philosophical retrenchment underway at the venerable Reader's Digest:

Introduction

Like clockwork, the holiest Christian holidays bring stories into the news cycle that clearly take aim at the faith of the majority of Americans. In 2007, the Discovery Channel's 'The Jesus Tomb' made headlines just before Easter. So it comes as no surprise to learn that a popular comedian announced plans to release a 'documentary on atheism' on Easter Sunday, 2008.

The Times' Travel Section Cruises With Far-Left Nation Magazine

Henry Alford gushed that "the diversity and intellectual accomplishments of the 460 were fairly staggering." Plus: disagraced anti-Bush CBS news producer Mary Mapes cracks jokes while killjoy Ralph Nader disinfects himself.

The front of Sunday's Travel section is dominated by "The Love Boat for Policy Wonks," Henry Alford's breezy rendition of an Alaskan cruise he took with the left-wing Nation magazine(last August).The paper even helpfully advertised the

Glamour's Women of the Year Lean Left

Nearing the end of 2007 can only mean one thing: it's time for lists. The Most Inspirational, The Sexiest, and The Most Fascinating. Lists of Fill-In-The-Blank People of the Year are starting to hit airwaves and newsstands.

Glamour magazine is out of the gate with its “Women of the Year” profiles featured in the December issue. It's not a surprise that not one strong conservative woman is featured. Thankfully however, neither are Senator Hillary Clinton or Rosie O'Donnell. And though both were left off the list the liberal tilt is clearly evident.

No Cigar for Kenneth Starr?

News Magazines Give Little Credit to Starr for Extracting Confession Out of a Very Reluctant Clinton

Tim Graham

The obviously missing angle in the journalistic aftermath of Clinton's "confession" is the victory of Ken Starr in extracting it. In this week's news magazines, Time's "Winners and Losers" feature picked "No One" as the winner and then self-deprecatingly nominated the press. Newsweek's "Conventional Wisdom Watch" left out Starr for a "Compartments of Bill Edition" which provided mostly down arrows for Clinton's performance.

Networks, News Magazines Slow to Note Chinese Contributions, Improvements to Chinese Missiles

Tim Graham

More than six weeks have elapsed since the April 4 New York Times scoop that the Justice Department was looking to prosecute two defense contractors - Loral and Hughes Electric - who may have illegally provided China with space expertise that "significantly advanced Beijing's ballistic missile program." But in February, Bill Clinton "quietly approved the export to China of similar technology by one of the companies under investigation." The Times noted Loral has a number of business ties with China.
