FanHouse TV: Panthers' Present as Uncertain as Future
By FanHouse TV - AOL NewsCarolina Panthers starting QB Matt Moore has all of 16 NFL games on his resume. The man he is replacing, Jake Delhomme, had 97, and had served as the Panthers starter since 2003, leading them to a Super Bowl appearance in the process.

Newsweek's New Owner, Sidney Harman, Is Feelin' the Love
By Eleanor Clift - Politics DailyA large, framed Newsweek cover of Katharine Graham, published when she died a decade ago, hangs in the reception area of the magazine's Washington bureau. I have no doubt that as matriarch of The Washington Post Company, Graham would approve of the new owner selected by Donald Graham, her son and successor, to give Newsweek a new lease on life after several quarters of punishing financial losses. Sidney Harman is a known quantity in Washington who, together with his wife, Jane, moved in the same social and political circles as Mrs. Graham. The fact that Dr. Harman, who holds a Ph.D. in higher ...

Obama to Write Newsweek Cover Story on Haiti
By David Sessions - Politics DailyPresident Obama will author the cover story of next week's issue of Newsweek -- an essay on the crisis in Haiti, the Wall Street Journal reports. The newsmagazine scrapped plans for a story on the Google-China row when a massive earthquake hit Haiti on Tuesday, and reportedly was looking for the highest authority possible to write about the tragedy. Editor Jon Meacham reached Obama senior adviser David Axelrod, and the president eventually agreed. Since reformatting and refocusing itself last year, the struggling magazine has become a forum for top power brokers and political minds to discuss ...
Why the Pundits Don't Like the New Newsweek
By David Sessions - Politics Daily"Jon Meacham is clearly an intelligent person and skilled writer, but his judgment about America and what America needs is somewhat inferior to that of my cat Lexie," John B. Judis wrote on the Web site of The New Republic. He was referring to the editor of Newsweek and a column he wrote for the magazine's Dec. 7 issue, boldly headlined "Why Dick Cheney Should Run for President." Judis is far from the only journalist savaging Meacham's column as well as the revamped Newsweek. In the column, the editor argued that Cheney is a "man of conviction" who would give Americans the chance to vote for ...
