The story was eventually proved false, and ''Newsweek'' was harshly criticized for it.
The criticism stemmed from the fact that ''Newsweek'' enjoys a nationwide audience and some degree of respect as a member of the newsmedia, and as such is expected to maintain a certain level of factual accuracy.

The Washington Post Company announced on May 5, 2010 that it is putting ''Newsweek'' up for sale because the company can foresee no path to profitability for the money-losing magazine. The Post's magazine group, of which Newsweek is the biggest piece, lost $29.3 million in 2009 after losing $16.1 million the previous year. <ref>[http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/05/AR2010050502285.html Washington Post Co. puts Newsweek magazine up for sale]</ref>
