Newsweek's Hayes Hater Gets a Promotion
After Newsweek's Ramin Setoodeh slammed several openly gay actors -- and earned stinging rebukes from Kristin Chenoweth and Sean Hayes -- some called for the newsmagazine to fire the writer. Instead, he's gotten the equivalent of a promotion: Setoodeh will leave the struggling Newsweek to become a senior writer on People's news and human-interest team, it was announced today. Yes, that's in addition to the offer extended to Setoodeh to visit the Glee set and, uh, "learn about diversity." Some self-hating gays have all the luck! [NY Observer]

Maybe Chris Colfer will practice using his sais on him.
It figures. He brought more publicity to Newsweek than it has had in years. But since when does going from Newsweek to People count as a promotion in any journalists' eyes?
Since Newsweek got put up on the block because it makes no money.
Ah, true. I guess I was thinking prestige, not dollars, but you're right.
