    "Broadsheet" Um. Yeah.

    Plenty of other people have commented on "Broadsheet's" appearance of condescension, the trivializing of "women's news" into gossip and fluff, the strange decision to split out some news that is defined as "women's news" but has a much wider appeal (e.g., Harriet Miers), the noticable change in Salon's content since the editorial changes, and the awful pink color scheme (my wife commented, "OK, now they should add "MenSheet," and make it baby blue"), so I won't add my voice to the chorus there.

    I will only note that I find it particularly ironic that you introduced this as a "need" in the middle of nearly a month's-worth of news that focused almost exclusively on two women (Harriet Miers, of course, and Judy Miller). Whether Broadsheet is a good or bad thing (I think it's not a very good idea; why do you want to ghettoize yourselves?), your timing is absolutely atrocious.
