Jeff Hadden - The Sorriest Journalist on the Planet @TIMEBusiness

In an era in which shallow, puerile and, frequently, dishonest journalism has become the hallmark, it takes a singular effort to establish individual incompetence.  Jeff Hadden of "Time" magazine has done it.  Perhaps he was writing on the consequences of military intervention in Iraq.  Perhaps he was considering the consequences of media monopoly by a small number of corporate giants.  Perhaps he even was considering how Kim Kardashian got such an enormous backside.

But that isn't what he wrote.

"15 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Happier" is news of such significance that it should be featured in a weekly news magazine and surely the Marvel movies represent a huge advance in cinema, Mitch McConnell is an intellectual giant, and those emails about money from Nigeria are real.

If you like articles with more pictures than words, perhaps reminiscent of Doctor Seuss, the article will make you happy.  It has lots and lots of pictures.  Very few words.  Easy.

It's like "People" magazine without boobs ... so long as we don't count the reader.

Perhaps if Jeff Hadden had more brain in his head than the average flounder, he might consider writing an article on why people have an apparently growing need for trivial amusements.

But likely what we will see from the incredible Jeff Hadden is "101 Scientific Ways to Make Friends with a Dog" and "Science Says French Fries Really Don't Make You Fat' and ... and ...

I looked at the article and I think now I want to be a serial killer.  Thanks, Jeff.  I hope you're fucking happy.
