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.

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

Good! Great news. The MSM is self-destructing.
Ping to you. US Magazine hit hard from bias.
No worries. Hoodies don't even know Groucho, let alone Karl.
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
BEHOLD OUR MIGHTY HANDS!!!!!!
We Americans ain't gonna take your stuff anymore!
It's only a question of when those MSM dinosaurs finally die off.
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!
YUMMY!!!
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 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
(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.
