Newsweek editor fawns over New York's mayor

How about this for journalistic neutrality? Here's Lally Weymouth, a senior editor at Newsweek, introducing New York's mayor, Mike Bloomberg, at an awards ceremony yesterday: "Everybody in New York that I know thinks he's a brilliant mayor. And everyone thinks he would be a brilliant president." Then again, Weymouth is no ordinary editor because she's the daughter of the late Katharine Graham, publisher of the Washington Post - and Newsweek. Once regarded as a leftist she is now routinely described as a "right-wing heiress". (Via New York Observer)
