The Guardian is coming to America!

Once again, note the elitism that practically flows out the author's ears...

...Being foreign helps. It’s not a mass-produced American product. It’s imported. Authentic. Hand-tooled. Tasteful. Indeed, in some fine irony in this jingoistic age, its non-American-ness (and, hence, its ability to be anti-American) makes it worth more.

And being written helps. The very thing that every American publisher eschews—long articles by actual writers—starts to look like something valuable. (Every week, The Economist goes on—and on—at quite an amazing and interminable length.)

The smarty thing—which runs against the Fox-led Zeitgeist—might, counterintuitively, work here too. The Wal-Marting of the publishing business (as well as every other business) invites the inverse strategy: You’re too dumb, too low-class, too fat for our magazine. Sorry, it’s not for you. That’s a marketing approach that could potentially be worth real dough.

Naturally, when it goes into the toilet, the blame will be placed on the knuckle-dragging Americans, not on the fact that nobody wants to read it. You can subscribe to the Guardian Weekly now in the U.S. for about $140 a year if you want. Don't know how many people do.

As Newsmax puts it,

...Michael Wolff could barely contain himself as he gushed happily that the "unabashedly liberal Guardian may be just what the Bush-whacked U.S. press needs."

In other words, help is on the way for the Bush haters not satisfied with the quality of the anti-American tantrums of the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS, NPR, Time, Newsweek, etc.
