Guess who called Obama a "creepy creature" ! lol

I can't wait until the idiots that voted for Obama (racist communist idiot himself) wake up and still have to pay their own bills! You liberals are nothing but a bunch of Goobers! lol

Thanks for the freedom of the press. Thanks even more for the freedom of choice. Jon Meachum excercised his freedom; I'm excercising mine.....my choice is to say NO! NO to Jon Meachum, NO to Newsweek, NO to MSNBC and NO to any company choosing to adverstise with them. NO, NO, NO!

Your lack of objectivity & tack is apalling. Like or dislike, there is no excuse for being so rudely disrespectful of Governor Palin. Your "mediocre" magazine isn't even fit for my puppy's potty pad. I wouldn't have his little paws soiled with your trash!

I have been a Newsweek subscriber for literally decades and I am through...Your magazine is no longer "news", it is full of Republican bashing articles, entirely full of opinionated biases. You have joined the ranks of trash/hollywood magazines like The Enquirer and People with your sensationalized and nasty covers of highly respected Republican candidates. I only hope more individuals like myself stand up against this type of media led negative press and also cancel their subscriptions to liberal biased magazines like yours.

Isn't it a lot more effective to say I am not a liberal and then spread the liberal views on the front page of a liberal magazine?

How do we go about finding out what people want? Isn't there a value judgment already built in in our choice of words.

How would Katie Couric (or Gibson, for that matter) do during an interview on the subject of unbiased reporting?

Could not Gibson's interview technique be plausibly construed as a form of sexism?

Can we wash off Katie Couric's unprofessionalism and Gibsons sexism by pointing to something from subsequent events that was produced by that very unprofessionalism and sexism, like a self fulfilling prophecy!?

Was not it a given that the views of Sarah Palin had to be rejected by the main stream media, was not that a mandate from the gods that rule our media empire?

We cannot distance ourself by simply declaring ourself a non-liberal. There is something very wrong with our definition of "liberal" if liberal can be only those who advocate the Hollywood concept of a human being an a set of values that is best described as a creed of the porno industry.

Where is the space in the responsible and "non-liberal" media for a discussion on substance? Are not republicans (just like democrats) also Americans? Maybe I should ask Gibson and Couric because they are good a sophistry?

The word populism is derived from the Latin word populus, which means people in English (in the sense of "nation," as in: "The Roman People" (populus Romanus), not in the sense of "multiple individual persons" as in: "There are people visiting us today"). Therefore, populism espouses government by the people as a whole (that is to say, the masses). This is in contrast to elitism, aristocracy, or plutocracy, each of which is an ideology that espouse government by a small, privileged group above the masses. Populism is not ALL bad!!! Some people sit and write what other people should do----and some people DO the right thing and then write about it!!!

When my post shows up, please excuse my errors, I accidentally hit the 'post' button before I was done & before I was able to fix my mistakes which I was well aware of. Also, I had planned on replying to my own post, so I could be looking at it while replying to it.... I hope that makes sense! Lol...

I'm tired of hearing the negative Palin remarks. Her gov't experience outweighs Obama???s.
Obama had been a Senator as long as Palin has been a Governor. Running for President keeps you too busy to accomplish anything in the Senate. At least a governor has an assistant.
Considering Obama???s current Senate record:
1. How many Senate ???bills??? have been voted on during Obama???s short reign?
2. Of those, how many was he present for?
3. Of those, how many did he actually vote on (other than just present)?

Thanks for the closeup of Palin. She looks beautiful. I don't know what everyone's complaining about. It's not like she's running for Miss America. Gotta disagree with your judgment that she won the debate. Biden outclassed her in every way, and all the polls and any pundit worth his or her salt (who's not applying some weird criterion like "failure to implode" or "did better than in couric interview") agrees on that. In the Olympics they don't give gold medals for personal bests; it's a competition, as is a debate. And a command of the facts and an ability to communicate them is what determines a winner. Why do you want to be a party to the degradation of this process that has been a cherished part of our electoral process for generations.

Interesting how so many of your readers are concerned about Palin's looks. What relevance does that have to her qualifications? And the illogic of accusing of bias for not retouching the foto, when just the opposite is true. You showed her as she is (and I don't think it was particularly unflattering at that). But why on earth did you declare her the winner of a debate she clearly lost, citing your bizarre criterion of her failure to implode. Her fans should be sending you candy and flowers for that clearly erroneous judgment.
