Ever wonder why Newsweek failed? Here is why

Newsweek's nasty attack on John Paul II may be the best answer to this question. (Mysteriously this piece did not make it into the Polish version of Newsweek. - Hmmm)

Here is a taste of this article (and the most mild):
Wojtyła opposed liberation theology in South America, warned an AIDs-devastated Africa not to use condoms, presided over the cover-up of God knows what wrong-doings in the Vatican bank (remember the death of Calvi, God’s banker, under Blackfriars Bridge?), did little to defend the young from pedophile priests, went cold on the Anglican Church when they allowed women to become priests, opposed official recognition—let alone marriage—of gay couples, and so on.

Maybe using new name "The Daily Beast" is fully justified.
