Why are we ever shocked at how hateful the MSM can be to conservative candidates?

But they are wrong on this one. The test would fail: they would do this to a conservative man.
To: LUV W
Not shocked at all. But my cynical nature asks: was it photoshopped?
To: LUV W
Did any of the two dozen readers of that dead tree media rag even notice? I haven’t looked at newsweak in 30 years and that was in a laundromat in Hoonah, Alaska waiting for my clothes to dry.

“would the magazine do the same to a man.”
Well yeah. Was it Time or Newsweak that did the cover of Rush Limbaugh that made him look like he had horns and smoke curling above his head? This was back in the 1990s.
In my opinion, this is not sexist. Just typical shitty shit from the MSM.

I would NOT doubt it. She is drop-dead gorgeous and very photogenic...that must have really frustrated them that want to make all conservatives ugly and evil.

Either Newsweek or Time had a cover photo of Newt back in the 90’s. It had streaks of florescent color on his face. A green streak was under one of his eyes. They have done this to conservative men.

Ridicule is the best response. We’ve been there, done that, and it’s nothing new. Liberals in the media are so very boring and predictable.

Don't forget the Newsweek cover with the caricature depicting Gingrich as the Grinch. Ironically enough it was because he was "stealing" joy while trying to balance the budget because it was in the "Contract with America".

Stupid of Newsweek to alienate many women with that cover.
I get a kick out of NOW, defending Bachmann. They have let so many Conservative/Republican women get treated poorly for years. They have to be trying to fix their image..... A good group of ladies defending Bachmann and they are in the news because of it too. Maybe they hired a new PR person attempting to make them appear sincere, relevant and legit ;) Fail :)

Agreed. I don’t doubt it’s a PR ploy more than anything else.

Yeah, didn’t one of the rags post a photo of Glenn Beck with an equivalent headline, like “King of Rage” or something? Sounds like the feminazis — who obviously hate Bachmann as much as anyone — are trying to engage in a bit of misdirection here.
I think Bachmann has more important things on her mind than what an airhead like Tina Brown thinks of her. No one who’d even consider voting for any conservative pays attention to this tree-wasting rag anyway.
