US magazine’s partisan hit job

[All is Lost]

The next time you’re waiting at the grocery stands and tempted to buy Us magazine, stop and think again. Unless you’re buying it for oppo research, you may not want to put money in the pockets of rabid partisans who have turned their gossip rag into a propaganda arm for the Democrat Party.

Us publisher Jann Wenner is a prominent Obama donor.

I just sent an email to US magazine. Here's what I said:
Dear Janice,

I'd like to thank you for helping to get Sarah Palin's name out there. Good or bad advertising, whatever gets her name out there REALLY helps, and you just did it for free!!

By smearing her family, which includes her young Downs baby, you are effectively uniting every mom and dad that have special needs children. Your assault on this courageous family is already generating sympathy among conservative Christians and the public at large. Given time, even liberal working mom's will find your attack so sexist, out of anger they too will vote for McCain.

Lastly, your assault, with America knowing you're an Obama supporter, gives a new all time low to the Obama campaign. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Maybe Obama can try again in 2012.

Sincerely,
A grateful McCain supporter

Mega, on FoxNew interviewed the SR. editor from US magazine late this afteroon, he would not answer her questions directly. She asked him if he thought people just looking at the cover in the check-out lines would give people the wrong impression.

He feels he was fair in the article.
Then she asked him, 'Did you tell people that the DUI was 22 years ago? His answer was, Yes, she quickly answered you're wrong, I read the article and you said nothing about when. (or something like that)

I just fired one off telling them they can keep their rag and I hope they choke on it!!

also told them to stay out of politics since it didn't suit them.

I don't buy rags due to the amount of false info contained in them. they are all garbage in my opinion and will stick to my guns $ ammo, shotgun news, field and stream and outdoor life. that is until they start getting into politics and then I will quit them as well.

candles, I also believe that his DUI was before they were married. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The thing that troubles me is that European Media, especially Italian one and owned by Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is allegedly displaying nude pictures of her and calling out a scandal even though they admit that the last picture is of Julia Louis Dreyfus and not of her. So why in the world would someone include someone else picture in an article about Palin and call it a scandal ? Why would you want to associate someone else image, an actress that looks like Palin and still keep it there unless you're trying to make hypothetical insinuations which in this case they are derogatory and slanderous comments. Unbelievable.


The European media elite wants the same thing as the ObaMedia wants here I guess, which is a weak America with a "can't do anything" attitude.

Here's the link and I think McCain campaign should get out there on this issue too because it is becoming sickening.

And the pictures. The last one nr.6 isn't even her, they admit to it but somehow someone made sure in the last 24 hours to spread this picture around as hers. Are these people for real ?

I mean freedom of speech one thing but they are taking this way too far. The speech of Obama in Germany is being hailed as if it was the greatest one, even though no one mentions that those people were not there for Obama but were coming back from a concert that was "accidentally" near the Obama speech location.

O'Reilly showed Megan's interview with the editor and the guy sure seemed nervous. He avoided any direct answers. He knows it was an unfair hit piece and right about now he is finding out what a big mistake he made. I hope all the stores have extra issues to throw away at the end of the month when the next issue comes out because THEY CAN'T GET PEOPLE TO BUY THEM!

I noticed in a couple of stores that they still seem to have plenty of the previous issue with the pic of Barak Hussein on the cover with his wife and the caption "Why he loves her". Could it be that folks are tired of the media pushing him and her on us all the time?

Megan should have asked him why he didn't do a cover with Obama and his buds - Rev Wright, Rev Pflager, William Ayers and Rezco - with the caption "Why he can't disown them" or something to that effect.

Sarah Palin was a runner up Ms. Alaska. Gee, I seem to remember a cover shot of Obama in swimming trunks that the media was adorning not long ago? He looked outta shape to me in that one. Was it a Time Cover? Oh, & John Edwards, one of the "sexiest men alive". Any of this ring a bell? If there is a bikini photo it's from the Ms. Alaska pagent and I have NO DOUBT anything Sarah Palin does is in good taste. She is healthy & fit and I'm sure outshines Obama's front cover bathing suit shot nobody minded, except those of us with taste.
