In your gale-force Thursday media column: Juan Williams is controversial, more magazines die, Wonkette launches a spinoff, and teen sex remains incredibly popular:

Juan Williams is not white, not Republican, and works for NPR, making him one of Fox News' favorite legitimacy-lenders. Which is fine, but it's making NPR a little squirrelly. They constantly get complaints! (One NPR listener said: "NPR should severe their relationship with him"). Now NPR has ordered him not to identify himself as an NPR employee when he appears on Bill O'Reilly's show. Juan Williams will be the next Alan Colmes. You heard it here first.


Your latest entrants in the Great Magazine Die-off: "plus size" fashion magazine Figure, which was published by Meredith, and Craft, a uh, craft magazine, which had its print edition folded by O'Reilly Media. Seven layoffs went with the magazine deaths, which, sadly, is not all that bad.
