Newsweek's effort to take a stab at former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on the heels of her book tour appears to be backfiring - at least from a legal standpoint.
Recently, the latest cover of Newsweek took an image of Palin that originally appeared in Runner's World magazine. Palin has criticized the posting on her Facebook page, as NewsBusters' Noel Sheppard reported. "The out-of-context Newsweek approach is sexist and oh-so-expected by now," she wrote.
And Newsweek's Jon Meacham insists the magazine did nothing wrong - that this is just the nature of what they do at Newsweek.
"We chose the most interesting image available to us to illustrate the theme of the cover, which is what we always try to do," Meacham said to the Huffington Post on Nov. 17. "We apply the same test to photographs of any public figure, male or female: does the image convey what we are saying? That is a gender-neutral standard."

Coming from cooper i guess it’s a legitimate questiion.
Someone posted how on MSNBC, Norah O’Donnell speaking from the Michigan Book signing, said that Sarah’s supporters who have showed up are “mostly white” HAHA already bringing up the race card MSNBC, what else is knew. Hey Norah, read any interesting rasmussen polls lately..negative 14 isnt a good thing LOL
BTTT
Bet she never says anything about the skew of race in Obama’s support!?!

Impressive. She knows how to handle an M203!
Pretty good Photoshop work as well. Hard to see the edits on the neckline. You have to look REALLY close ;-p
Of course not, MSNBC, the whores for Obama. Talking about how she is irrelevant and will never be President..oh really Norah, if that is the case how come you flew to Michigan to cover her..bunch of dumb asses at MSNBC
Hey listen I know some African Americans who like Sarah okay these are guy she said she is fineeee
Apparently Palin covered all her bases and handled the transaction with Runner’s World perfectly and Newsweek and this unethical photographer just decided to ignore the written contract he had with Runner’s World. They should sue them both for all they’re worth.
Why do you assume this? If this was the case wouldn't Palin and her camp state the pics were used in violation of her contract with RW ALONG with calling them sexist?
Generally when involving a celebrity like Palin, contracts give them the right of approval on how images taken and used during the initial project are used later on. The reasons for this are obvious, one might not want their pic showing up on say, a porn video.
RW has stated the photog they commissioned to take the pics of Palin violated THEIR contract WITH HIM in that they were to be embargoed for one year (which means Newsweek could have legally bought and used for their front page after that time absent any legal considerations on Palins contract with RW).
But my confusion still remains. Why didn't Palin state up front that using the pics was a violation of her contract with RW, or even Newsweek?
Hey, it’s a local Palin basher Bob J.
Hiya boobie. How’s da tripe hangin?
Hey, Bob J’s been on FR since, like, forever...and for that reason alone he’s got major cred!
Who are you to give him a hard time?
Respect your elders, ak267! :)
