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:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2012/08/19/niall-ferguson-on-why-barack-obama-needs-to-go.html

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:

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.

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...

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.

Seemingly controversial cover, same old fawning articles inside.

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?

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..

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.

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.
