Crap!! The bitch pulled the plug on my favorite magazine....

Did Anna Wintour Remove the ‘Cargo’ Feeding Tube?

Late yesterday afternoon, the brutal lords of Condé Nast pulled the plug on woefully misguided shopping mag Cargo — and the people, well, barely shrugged. In the aftermath, Women’s Wear Daily asks today why Condé hadn’t given Cargo another shot with a new editor. In the months since publisher Lance Ford’s August arrival, word was the Cargo would be perking up:

Since coming onboard, Ford — an old buddy of Richard Beckman’s — has been telling advertisers they could expect to see Cargo move in a more up-market, fashion-centric direction, according to sources in the men’s market.

So what happened? Just a guess: Anna Wintour, protective of dewy hatchlings Jay Fielden and Men’s Vogue, had all that Vogue-threatening up-market fashion talk quickly silenced. Conde is her henhouse, bitches.
