New website to organize the fight against the repulsive Us Weekly lies and smears against Gov. Sarah Palin. Please tell all your friends. All major advertisers from the past 6 issues are included for you to "express" yourself.
UPDATE: The site has now received over 2,000 emails and 100,000 page requests in 12 hours online. Emails are coming from people of all parties and voting preferences, mostly women (Many, many self-titled Hillary supporters among them). 90% of the response is outrage. Let's keep it going for the next 12 hours and beyond. This is the first step in our effort to bring the fight to the Obamamedia. No MSM entity which enters the political fray will emerge unscathed.
US is PUS
Not to change the subject but any thread with Sarah in it gets a large number of hits.
Has any of the senators running given up their office like they demanded Bob Dole do or when they lose, do they get their old jobs back?
okay, you’re right ping
Good for them.
Difficult to boycott some degraded rag that I’d never read in a million years in the first place. I doubt you will find a dozen Palin supporters who read that drivel.
call their advertisers...and use the 800#
Who owns this website?
I don’t buy that trash, but yesterday put another magazine in front of it in the check out aisle. And then changed aisles and did it again. A bit juvenile, but that bias irks me. They should tank, badly.
Almost all the hits have come from "in the family": FR.com, Malkin, Ann Coulter (we are posted on her homepage), and others. Very few from search engines at this point.

Here is the boilerplate eMail we are sending:
(we are about 1/2 way down the list)
“We are extremely upset with the yellow journalism of US Weekly magazine as seen on the cover of the current issue.
It is clearly intended to discredit and defame Republican Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin.
There is no need to go into detail as the issue is well known and details are widely published.
If not yet familiar with the issue we refer you to http://www.boycottusweekly.com/
We hope that you, like many other fine companies, support fairness and truth in the media and oppose the use of lies, unfounded smears and vicious personal attacks to destroy people in an attempt to pursue a political agenda.
We do not want our money going to support this publication via the advertising budgets for products we use.
We will carefully select products we buy from companies that do not support US Weekly magazine with their profits from our purchases.
As customers of your products we are asking you to support a fair and balanced media by removing all of your advertising from this disgusting publication.
Thank you,
Mr. & Mrs. XXXX XXXXXXX
