Tina Brown Blames 9/11 And Press for "Talk" Failure Tina Brown, who tried to typify the Clinton 90's confluence of Hollywood and government but fell short of the near-term success of "George" and "Politically Incorrect", has taken to blaming everyone except herself for the magazine's decline and eventual bankruptcy. "Our partners would have had to take a big financial hit to ride it out and did not feel they could." Even worse, said Brown, was that her magazine was "the favorite bloodsport of the press." "I warned the staff that it would be bad but by the end of it we thought we had fought more wars than Kabul," Brown complained. Using condescension for her advertisers because they didn't like the original magazine paper she chose, contempt for the press for being happy to see her fail, and adoration for herself as she tries to rework her image into that of a brave warrior during an American crisis, Brown continues to boggle the common sense folk of America. Brown says she feels bad about her former staff. "They are just lost now. There's no place for them to be theatrical with their work," she said. They could just try being good writers. Article Here
