Industry blogger Jossip isn’t buying what US is selling either.

"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."


From what I understand of Wenner, he may have actually liked that.......

After listening to his whimpering while my girl, Megyn was reading him the riot act, I can believe it.

Sorry. Here is the other link.

Jann Wenner Media. Make sure none of your magazines support this cretin. I’m certain none of us get Rolling Stone, but if you do, you should cancel that one, as well.

well...it’s forbidden by the keeper of the ‘nani, who worries over my well being... hence I guess Nope and Nobama will have to do.

What I’d really like is a big We Love Sarah! bumpersticker

i tell ya man....I own 8 very large billboard sized high resolution red or monochrome signs and all with minimum 30K traffic counts

the temptations I have .....but I am a coward....you simply cannot risk alienating maybe 1/4 of your customers...

we do Amber alerts and public service stuff and I have put up a Marsha Blackburn sign once but to run superflash at 150% brightness We Love Sarah Plain! might be a bit risky

sounds fun though

Yup.

It's only a question of when those MSM dinosaurs finally die off.

“It’s going to be tough to bounce back from this one. Especially if the advertisers get involved. If they get nervous, that can hurt all of us.”

Welcome to the world of the grown-ups. If your advertisers are hurt by your idiotic lying, defamatory cr*pola, they'll dump you so fast your head will spin.

Megan Kelly gutted the editor of US Weekly this morning.

He was in a state of shock that someone actually called him on the transparent liberal lies contained within the covers.

It was a beauty to behold!

Folks, this is one of those hidden indicators that may indicate a MONUMENTAL shift in AMerican politics.

THink about this for a second.

US Weekly is a shallow, powderpuf rag of a magazine. VERY liberal in it's outlook.

HOW MANY REPUBLICANS HAVE SUBSCRIPTIONS to US?

IF this article is true, then that is likely to be almost entirely moderate, middle of the road women. The poeple that Obama MUST have to win.

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

Jann Werner  started "Rolling Stone" magazine  ---
He was married for ~25 years, had a few children

10 years ago this creep left his wife and family to shack up with a dude. A hot male model if I remember right

He's probably part of the David Geffen/Barry Diller gay mafia.
Geffen got Obama off to a great start in Feb 2007 when he threw a big Hollywood party for Obama and introduced him. It was Obama's Hollywood coming out party

Heartless Republican Sarah Palin Wrecks US Weekly

(AP) In yet another sign that Sarah Palin is not the pretty small-town hockey mom the Republicans tried to portray at the RNC, the Alaska governor -- who may have actually attended more than one college and has at least one unmarried pregnant family member -- has financially ruined an important pillar of the First Amendment: US Weekly.

"The press has a very special role in our democratical system," said Ida Bitner, an US Weekly spokeswoman. "We report on pregnant teens all the time in this magazine, and we would've spared this poor girl the embarrassment if we didn't have such a vital role and total, like, duty, to play. When we reported that Barack and Michelle's perfect family might make a lot of readers really envious and jealous, none of the Democrats canceled their subscriptions. It's only rightwing nutcases who demand special treatment from the press."

Dogged by declining circulation and falling ad revenues, the magazine is preparing to embark on a bold new journalistic journey: science news. "That's right," Miss Bitner confirmed. "Next week we're scheduled to begin our groundbreaking four-part series on Mike Wooten's experiments in Adolescent Human Responses to Electrical Currents. I have no idea what it means, but it's exciting, and his work is important!" the enthusiastic editor squealed.

US Weekly, which features some of the classiest and most politically important footage of underwear-free borderline dull/normals in the Western World has been a foundation of America's Fourth Estate since 1977. Look for the current issue sometime around Christmas in a dentist's office near you.

I think we should all write in to cancel our subscriptions to Us Weekly. Even though we don’t actually subscribe today.
