I appreciate a good rant as the next person, but please try to be
accurate when ranting.  Newsweek is not a subsidiary of MSN.  Last I
checked, it's owned by the Washington Post Company.  See
http://www.cjr.org/owners/washpost.asp for more details.

I'm not aware of anything beyond partnership deals between the two
entities...
