P.D.S. alert: Us magazine’s partisan hit job

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.
This is the cover of the latest issue of Us:
(Shows the above cover pics)
A source forwards the following e-mail from former Clinton operative and Us weekly flack, Mark Neschis, that went out to all media in St. Paul:
Thought I would send over our Us Weekly/Sarah Palin cover story, on stands Friday, if helpful in your coverage. Might be useful as an illustration of how the news is playing out.(Us Weekly has 12 million, mostly female readers)

Steve Hayes notes that Us publisher Jann Wenner is a prominent Obama donor.

Good for Matt Drudge ~~~!! Many, many millions will now see the indisputable evidence of the calculated and blatant mind-twisting orchestration and bias of the MSM now, and the active role they're playing in this election.
A false claim on the cover of a mag seen at every grocery checkstand. The Palins should sue for millions and use part of the money to help find a cure for Down’s Syndrome.
Fox has been showing the two covers all morning in outrage.
This “strategy” by Wenner and his horde of queens will backfire bigtime!

Quite the contrast! One is ALL smiles. The other is ALL frowns except for a smiling Sarah.
how is Fox spinning this...?? In favor of Sarah?
Haven’t watched the media. It is making me sick.
I am about ready to can the TV for GOOD!
I think the time has come for true conservatives to VOTE THE MEDIA OUT!!!!! at the pocketbook!

Check out all the comments on their website! They have stepped in it BIGTIME! Dems & Reps alike seem to thin this is disgusting!.................
This is an OUTRAGE!!
US...and by “us”, we mean not you.
We should...need to see your favorite show? Rent it from Netflix. Dump your cable/dish.
Megyn Kelly was on with O’Reilly last night and was outraged by the media bias. Her argument was that Sarah being scrutinized far more than men would ever be. No contest with that.
Two years ago, I did what you are talking about doing. I cut the cable. I haven’t missed it a bit and I save an extra $40 each month.
And look at the sub-titles on the covers ..... !!
Most Americans aren’t political junkies like we are, but this will at least hopefully awaken some indifferent voters and leave a mark. Folks peruse the magazine covers when they’re in the checkout line.
What dirt peddlers they are.
Canning the media is a great idea. let me give you a couple examples why:
1. We lived in an “alley” where you heard ‘raw’ news coming through the wires. It was very interesting to hear the raw material, then watch the evening news! I was shocked so many times...it was bad back then...mid-1970s. My father was a life-time Republican, never joined the union at Chrysler, etc. After retiring and sitting home all day, wathcing the news and reading the Union papers, he switched tot he dems. You cannot ahve a reasonable conversation with him about politics, so it is avoided.

G*ddamn the news media and its bias.
The Friends were enraged all morning by the attacks on Sarah...especially Gretchen, a working mom herself. Rudy and Fred were guests and shared in their disgust.
I like this poster on the site.
