The formerly great magazine is now trolling for clickbait off of Anthony Bourdain’s suicide.
A few of Newsweek’s recent headlines include:
“RESTAURANT BUSINESS ‘BROUGHT TOGETHER’ ANTHONY BOURDAIN AND EX-WIFE OTTAVIA BUSIA”
“WHAT ANTHONY BOURDAIN’S DAUGHTER ARIANE SAID ABOUT HIS COOKING”
“ANTHONY BOURDAIN: CELEBRITY CHEF AND TV PERSONALITY DEAD AT AGE 61”
“ANTHONY BOURDAIN’S FEUDS: CELEBRITY CHEF’S BIGGEST BUST-UPS”
“ANTHONY BOURDAIN SHOWS: WHERE TO WATCH CHEF’S BEST EPISODES, CLIPS”
“ANTHONY BOURDAIN LIKED BRINGING ‘GOOD FRIEND’ CHEF ERIC RIPERT SOMEWHERE ‘EVERY YEAR’”
“ANTHONY BOURDAIN IN QUOTES: CELEBRITY CHEF AND PRESENTER DIES AGED 61”
“WHAT ANTHONY BOURDAIN SAID ABOUT HARVEY WEINSTEIN AFTER ASIA ARGENTO’S RAPE ALLEGATIONS”
Apart from these over-the-top headlines, Newsweek hasn’t been doing too great this year in general. (RELATED: Monday Massacre At Newsweek Leaves Publication With Uncertain Future)
