Newsweek Cover-- WTF?
So I come home from walking to dog to find that the 'ordained' would-be senator for the state north of me has opened his trap about rape- what an idiot. Good.
But just now I'm cruising The Daily Beast, and I come across what is supposed to be the newest cover of Newsweek:

1. No, it's just that neocon douche Niall Ferguson.
He's a joke anyhow, and so is Newsweek, which hardly anybody reads anymore. They might be desperate for controversy.

13. can the DOJ ban the cover.
Stop the circulation as its not honest
Sure that's exactly what the DOJ was designed for, to stop non flattering magazine stories about the preezy from being read. :mental:
-
All of a sudden the libs care about honesty. It's a miracle.

There's that inconvenient First Amendment thingy. Newsweek can publish what it wants, even if it's bullshit, and the government can't and shouldn't shut them down. That sword cuts two ways.
I am always astonished and appalled when I read on a liberal website a call for suppression of the press by the government.
You'll never read it anywhere else.

Fairness doctrine. Oh how the libs are blind to irony.
-
They always want something that goes against their manlove, Captain Zero, banished, but want to push something that goes against any republican further. What a bunch of tools.

So Newsweek comes up with a Rush parody song BEFORE Rush comes up with it...
BTW, when were they supposed to stop their dead tree format? I have a feeling that Newsweek may have gotten the word that the Chicago Way reps have stated they will not support Newsweek (vis a vis kickbacks, or whatevah), so they may be going back to the center. A bit late I bee-leave...

Why does every pic of Barry show him with his mouth open? :lol:
Is it his "natural state" or something like that? :lmao:
Is it because he runs his mouth so much, he CAN'T close it? :lmao:
-
I actually had to sig this last night. I knew the DUmmies would be very upset with it. Newsweek cheeses them off just a bit sometimes, it sems. :-)

Yeah like they did with the cover talking about Mitt is a wimp...or that Rush Limbaugh is "The Most Dangerous Man In America"...sure...suppress free speech just like the government did in those instances.
Oh...wait...

Situational ethics. The libs don't realize the mentality that allows thinking censorship and vote fraud is acceptable as a political tool will eventually come back to destroy them.

Yeah...
It'll be gone in 24 business hours.
-
Same tactic used by numerous tabloids.
Seemingly controversial cover, same old fawning articles inside.
If any DUmmie had read the rag, they would be singing praises.
Stupid DUmpmonkeys.

:rotf: Wonderful cover!

38. Well,
I can't think of any off the top of my head, but wouldn't the Fairness Doctrine be something that might apply in this case?
God, they're such idiots.
Someone thinks the noob is a mole:

22. Nice try.
But the caricature of the Freedom Hating Liberal must be done with a bit more subtlety.

I've been found out! :panic:

Even I know he is a mole (and I have no mole-dar whatsoever)

Exactly like the CalPig.

Whose mole is that? Are you drinking? LOL.

With the strategically placed turtlenecks to cover "her" adams apple.

Covuto is talking about the cover now. This is probably the one time that I agree with Newsweek. Wait till next week though, they will have something disgracing Romney.

Fairness Doctrine mentioned..
Spaldeen (48 posts)
44. Yeah, I knew the FD was no longer with us
I meant it as more of a 'what if' type of answer, since I couldn't answer your question about print media being banned.
I do know there have been rumblings on DU in the past of working the FD back in (plausible, or not), and using it against our tubby friend that dominates the AM airways, so I tossed it out there in sort of a 'what if' moment.
jberryhill (24,665 posts)
46. I doubt you will find much support on DU
...for the idea of banning or fining magazines on the basis of editorial content.
Oh, what a nice sidestep by the jberryhill primitive. AM radio is OK, just not print media.

55. I think you're mistaken or you were reading a post from one of the many temporary trolls
that pop in
All those posts of bringing back the Fairness Doctrine were trolls, huh? :bs:
-
Or moles.
-
Actually, I think those two are too clumsy to be moles, unlike the Master Nemesis who is a mole unlike any other.
If these two are moles, I suspect they are sock puppets being put out to throw the scent off of a real mole.

Has to be a mole.

I don't know... that one is so far out there, it's bordering on troll, rather than mole.

Actually, this time, there was no fawning. Niall is a solid Conservative, and though he was thoughtful and praising of the expectations of Obama, he went on to dismantle him limb by limb. He's even been fighting with Paul Krugram (who tried to discredit parts of his article) all day on Twitter. It's been quite fun to watch.

Great cover of Newsweek.

No wonder the DUmp has run amok.
On another interesting note, Newsbusters has a nice article about them. Even plugs DUmmie FUnnies. :yahoo:
