Newsweek recalls 125,000 copies of its souvenir Madam President issue
The Telegraph ^ | 11/10/2016 | Rob Crilly

Everyone from pollsters to pundits got the result of the US presidential election wrong.

But few can have made it in such an expensive manner.

Newsweek and a partner that prints up special commemorative issues has been forced into an embarrassing recall, after it sent out 125,000 copies of its Madam President issue designed to celebrate Hillary Clinton's win.

Although Topix Media had also prepared a Donald Trump version it thought it was safe to dispatch only the version detailing “Hillary Clinton's historic journey to the White House”, as the cover put it.

“Like everybody else, we got it wrong,” Tony Romando, chief executive of Topix Media, told The New York Post.

The edition appeared on shelves on Tuesday but was hastily withdrawn.

Wasn’t this the magazine that’s entire operation was sold for $1 at some point?

I hope Newsweek has lost a lot of money on this, to the point they go out of business.

“I heard (on Fox’s coverage) that the NY Post had pre-printed Trump’s image with “LOSER” across it.”

Not the NY Post. The newspaper actually favored Trump.

They rolled this out because they knew that the fix was in for a Clinton win. Fortunately, Trump voters turned out in such numbers that they were able to overwhelm the effects of the voter fraud.

Hopefully every store and newsstand employee has already swiped their copy and taken them home.

Hope to see them available on ebay!

Add insult to injury to the dirtbags who published this garbage!

Can they cancel the TV show Madame Secretary now, too?

It no longer serves a propaganda purpose.

Maybe they can send them to Haitians to use for insulating their mud huts.
