PING!
They just can’t figure it out.
“But as you move more toward opinion...”

Opinion?

More like open and ongoing, unapologetic, anti-American, lying Communist propaganda.
Buh bye Newspink!

Angry Journalists Refuse to Review Anti-Obama Book
newsbusters ^ | May 8, 2010 | Lachlan Markay
One of the worst ways that the lack of ideological diversity in America’s newsrooms shows forth is in the media’s treatment of sensational accusations against the current president.
Oftentimes, explosive allegations against presidents are either untrue or drastically overstated: George W. Bush deliberately lying to get the U.S. to war so he can cash in or deliberately ignoring Hurricaine Katrina due to his hatred of black people (a la Kanye West), Bill Clinton’s supposed involvment in the drug trade, so on and so forth.
Journalists do the public a service by rebutting absurd conspiracy theories and wacko charges. In recent memory, though, they have taken a much greater zeal toward stamping out allegations against Democrats, particularly President Obama, a stark contrast to the kidglove or even promotional attitude they took toward books by liberal authors alleging all sorts of anti-Bush absurdities.
World Net Daily-affiliated author Aaron Klein recently discovered this when he sent his new book, “The Manchurian President,” to members of the media he hoped would review it. He got some very angry responses. Here are some of the more colorful ones:
“Never, ever contact me again,” wrote Time Magazine senior writer Jeffrey Kluger.
Newsweek deputy editor Rana Foroohar quipped,”This is sensational rubbish that is of no interest to any legitimate publication.”
“Absolute crap,” replied Evelyn Leopold, a Huffington Post contributor who served for 17 years as U.N. bureau chief for Reuters until recently.
Nancy Gibbs, editor-at-large for Newsweek, fired, “Remove me from your list.”
David Knowles, AOL’s political writer, responded, “seriously, get a life.”
Ben Wyskida, publicity director for The Nation, claimed Klein’s book is “so offensive” and “so far afield.”

Interesting. They profess satisfaction with their circulation, but take their editorial cues from the advertisers.
Newsweek's circulation has dropped to under 2 million.
Newsweek’s circulation was 3.14 million in the first half of 2000. By the second half of 2009, that dropped to 1.97 million.
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
“....because the magazine already sucked big time!”
I didn't know the president of America wasn't American!
Will the last person at Newsweak please shut off the fluorescent lights, empty the recycle bin, and set the programmable thermostat to “away”? Thanks.
Newsweak hurt by Tea Party.
Newsweek is Tiger Beat for Obamabots
A liberal posing as a journalist, working for a liberal TV network.....interviewing another liberal hack posing as a reporter of a commie rag that pretends to be a “news” mag.
Wow.
“...no advertiser, to my knowledge, ever pitched up and said, you know, I’m not going to advertise because you put the first African-American president in history on the cover or that we were too liberal.”
What they probably said was, “Your circulation’s tanked, A$$hat,and my ads are reaching bupkis!”
Evasion of reality is a form of irrationality. It's hard to survive if one is irrational.
..”no advertiser, to my knowledge, ever pitched up and said, you know, I’m not going to advertise because you put the first African-American president in history on the cover or that we were too liberal.”
Notice that his first defense is to try and use the race card. Common sense would tell you that an advertiser is not going to advertise in a magazine with no readers. There are no readers because they are not a reliable source of news.
They can’t go belly-up fast enough! All of them.
Mecham didn’t even answer the question. Ugh.
