Honestly now? I mean REALLY?

I've seen some ridiculous news stories, but this takes the cake. So instead of debating the policies between the candidates, they argue about which candidate's cover looks prettier?

This has nothing to do with politics - it is ALL about selling "Newsweek" magazine. Notice the only magazine covers they mention are News Week? Notice the reporter says several times "you need to buy the magazine because the flaws don't translate to television..."

This is an unabashed sickening plug for a pathetic magazine whose sales have slumped!

yes, yes, yes, exactly!
I am a woman and I find it completely mind blowing that this cover is even being mentioned.
It just goes to show how deep in the gutter American women have really gotten.
When we actually care more about lipstick and wrinkles then the words and actions of a Vice presidential candidate we are low indeed.
It makes me sick, those 18 million cracks I guess only matter if its on the face and we have enough botox to fix them.

Thats exactly what I got from that whole thing. The McCain-Palin campaign is crashing and burning so Fake News is trying to get people to buy the magazine and read about her. No doubt the interview is flattering to Sarah Palin and I bet you that picture of her isn't even that bad and if it is who the f*** cares?

The real story here is whether or not certain news agencies are giving Obama favorable treatment and how that is manifested in the media.

Newsweek's cover is only a part of what has been an ongoing discussion since the early days of the campaign and has even been parodied on Saturday Night Live.

It always seems to me that those who complain the most about Fox News are the ones who wouldn't be caught dead watching it.

I'm the first to complain that Fox sometimes spends too much time on fluff issues like celebrity meltdowns, but how the candidates are treated in the media is relevant--very relevant.
