My empirical measure of their content is how much I can glean from a brief perusal on a news stand, and while I now don't find I've read the whole thing in ten minutes, I still am not left with the sense that there is enough content left to make it worth buying. That is in part due to my level of interest in the subjects they are discussing, but also my sense of how much depth I would find in the parts yet unread.
