The Newsweek/NBC connection is clear with the autism issue. Today show had a whole series about it and then I see it on the cover of Newsweek.

Newsweek's website is powered by MSNBC and they share some content. MSNBC is obviously a joint operation between NBC and Microsoft/MSN. That's how they're related. Just so ya know.

A managing editor from newsweek was on NPR earlier this evening talking about this cover. She calls it a "photoillustration" and says it is stated so on page 3 table of contents. The head is from a photograph from wireimage (she didn't know when it was taken but not in the last 5 months) but the body is NOT martha's (the illustration part). The editor says the cover was not meant to deceive but to amuse. And says with all the talk surrounding it, the cover succeeds (in what I don't know). She stood by the photoillustration and was adamant that it was not a transgression.
