Starve the Beast

Another reason I never read US News and World Report anymore. [More
You'll note I linked to Mike's piece, not to theirs. That's because every comment I see posted at the cited article was driven there by pro-gun sites. I recognize many of the comment posters from here, Gun Rights Examiner and Sipsey Street. We are driving readership to them, and rewarding a subversive enterprise that is on the ropes with page views that bolster its ability to generate ad revenues:
Starting in June 2008, the magazine reduced its publication frequency in three steps. It switched in June 2008 from weekly to biweekly. In November 2008 it decreased to monthly. In November 2010, it was reported that U.S News & World Report would be switched to an online-only format, effective after it published its December issue, with the exception of print publishing special issues on colleges, hospitals, and personal finance.
Ignore these domestic enemies. Let their irrelevance be their doom. Let them continue throwing good money after bad until they drown in red ink and can't pay smug little propagandists like "Assistant Opinion Editor" Pat Garofalo any more.

Let them starve.
