Pound US Magazine with your displeasure (be nice. Here are email addresses)

It was revealed today that the publisher of US Weekly is a heavy contributor to the B.O. campaign. Nothing wrong with that. But when you put B.O. on your cover last week in the light they did and then a week later on the cover put Palin on there with the words "lie and scandal", well you deserve to be called out.

These people have no scruples at all.

Politely let them know how you feel and cancel your subscriptions.

Hit them in the pocket book. And I'd tell the advertisers you aren't happy either. Rolling Stone is another one, the publisher is a huge supporter of B.O. Again, nothing wrong with that, but when you're playing the role of the media and carrying the water for a campaign, you need to be fair.

I’m listening to the Rush Limbaugh show live in my local market. About an hour ago the local affiliate had an advertisement for US Weekly Magazine. I’ve never heard them advertise on talk radio before. Just a heads up.

US / Rolling Stone publisher Jann Weener has been described as a long-time social climber and wannabee. He left his wife n’ kids after 3 decades of marriage to live with a male fashion designer (with which he “had 3 kids” ...somehow). So, his perspective on families must be...unique...to say the very least.

When the sales people of "US" tell their advertisers how many "readers" they have - do they also tell them how many copies are printed and sold?

It's rumored some magazines think 10 people read every copy.

Advertisers need to know the truth.

Are advertisers paying for the same people who vote in Chicago elections (nonexistent figments of a liberals imagination)? These same "figments" of aren't known for buying much...

Me neither but I have an additional tactic. When I see the hateful liberal offender magazine on the stand, I turn it inward so others cannot see it. I feel so much better when I do.

Forget going to US Mag themselves, it’s an agenda and as long as that gets out, the better.

We are much better going after those who advertise with them. That’s the list we need.

You’ve gathered some good information here.

Any possibility of getting a list of advertisers to go along with it?

Great, and I’m a shopper for quite a few of these companies.

Let’s just see where they stand.
