Vogue.com Publishes Story on Vice President Joe Biden's Family - Even Before Actual Election!

It’s always kind of endearing when magazine "websites" try to go all webby on us and endeavor to publish scoopy daily content just like the real websites do.
The result is predictably amusing, and when it’s a fashion magazine website such as the under-trafficked Vogue.com in question, we should say "très amusant."
And so, in breathless, long-form journalism style, today you can read all about the vice president’s women on Vogue.com. But the veep in question?
Vice-presidential candidate Joe Biden.
Yes, you can see all "four generations of Biden beauties" endearingly photographed in Kennedy-esque style and promoted on the home page this very morning.
Even before the actual election!
It’s easy to imagine some underpaid "content producer" over at Vogue.com, having heard the mantra at some management meeting that it’s so old media to hold back on publishing magazine content until the on-sale date, proudly and industriously rushing this story right to the web.
And because none of the actual journalists at Vogue magazine would ever deign to look at their faux website, or any website for that matter, this tremendous newsbreak has gone unnoticed by the fashionista powers that be.
(Note to Vogue content producers: We find that putting what we call "page breaks" into long-form articles to be a very webby way to drive page views, too!)
Huffington Post’s equally delicious view on this story here.
