Readers Dump US Magazine Over Palin
MSNBC-Scoop ^ | 09-4-08 | Courtney Hazlett

Three celebrity weeklies — OK!, People and Us Weekly — featured Sarah Palin on their cover, but one of those magazines is reportedly losing subscribers because of it.

Us Weekly, which unlike People and OK!, chose a rather caustic cover line (“Babies, Lies and Scandal”) is said to have lost thousands of subscribers in just the first 24 hours following the printing of the issue.

I'm overjoyed! The backlash against the Obamsm is just beginning... they're finding out its costing them revenue. So sad, too bad! Break out the violins!

America First!

America has awoken, had its coffee and knows what it wants, and it wants Sarah like England wanted Princess Diana.

GOOD... The media needs to get the message. I’d bet that some of those lost subscribers happen to be Democrats as well. People are getting sick of the drivel that’s sold as “news & features” nowadays.

Good! They deserve it. If I had been a subscriber, I’d have canceled, too.

They have every right to become a boutique leftist media entity like The Nation or Mother Jones.

I appreciate the fact that they notified me of the new change in their editorial direction so I can make the appropriate choice to cancel my subscription and boycott their products.

This should make us both happy. If they wish to go from a 12 million subscriber to say 100,000, who am I to judge?

Megyn Kelly rocks!

She was spectacular, but then again, that "Us" editor was one of the most clueless people I have ever seen on television.

The only thing better than people voting at the ballot box against slime like this is when they vote with their wallets. That hits the bastards where it hurts worst to them.

And I had actually purchased the issue with the gymnasts in it for my gymnastics family. Never again.

REAL Americans love Governor Palin. (As well as, Megyn Kelly who stuck it to that little girlyman wimp from US on FOX this morning. Had the little, crybaby wimp been in the same studio, I’d almost bet Megyn would have inserted his “magazine” in a place where it would have made it difficult for the wimp to sit down. Way to go Megyn!!!! That’s one of the reasons why I’m a conservative! We’ve got the best women!)

Make sure you voice your disapproval everywhere you notice public magazines - beauty parlors, doctor offices, car dealerships, etc.

Jann Werner, the publisher of US Weekly is a big Obamoid booster. But that cover was just plain offensive!
