The REAL Reason 'U.S. News' Is Going Monthly

It might be because of columnist and Sarah Palin apologist Michael Barone -- at least in the mind of Frank Rich.

Just call it coincidence, but on Election Day, word spread that the once-weekly U.S. News was downsizing to a monthly -- a step closer to the fate of Literary Digest, the weekly magazine that vanished two years after its straw poll predicted an Alf Landon landslide over Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1936.
