A Heartfelt Plea To Ron Burkle

Dear Mr. Burkle:

We hear that you’re pretty close to acquiring American Media Inc. So, besides Radar, you would also own the National Enquirer, Star and Globe.

If it comes to pass, we have one simple request of you.

Bring back the Weekly World News. Think of it in the way that Time Inc. published Life for years after sales dropped at the newsstand or how the Saturday Evening Post, against all logic, continues to publish in its current incarnation.

You know, as a legacy publication. Because if anyone can do it… you can.
