MSNBC Crops President Bush Out of Newsweek Cover

On Wednesday's Morning Joe on MSNBC, host Joe Scarborough pointed out the cover of the latest edition of Newsweek magazine, which proclaimed "Victory At Last; The Emergence of A Democratic Iraq" and featured a picture of President George W. Bush walking the deck of an aircraft carrier. However, the image of Newsweek that appeared on screen cropped out President Bush's face entirely.

The magazine cover showed Bush on the deck of the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln in 2003, after making his "Mission Accomplished" speech following the successful invasion of Iraq. While Newsweek cropped the picture to include half of Bush's body and face, MSNBC further cropped the image to leave only the arm of the former president visible.

Just another ridiculous attempt by a stridently left-wing organization masquerading as a news network to airbrush history if it doesn't glorify Obama. As predictable as it is lame.

Newsweek is a dying publication and MSNBC is a dying cable TV network. They'll both go down to their respective graves flying the leftist banner and telling themselves that their demise was the result of a diabolical right-wing plot, likely engineered by Dick Cheney or Rush Limbaugh or Sarah Palin or....somebody.

Their absence won't be missed.

President Bush is crazy if he let’s this stand. He took all the heat and all the hate. This is his victory not the kenyan’s.

So, between Newsweek and MSNBC, something like twelve people saw this picture?

Why does anybody care? If you watch or subscribe to these outlets, you pretty much don’t want to be exposed to the real world. Let them live in their bubble.

Communism (or any despotism, really) relies on a cult of personality.

No one came before or after Obama, etc.

Truth is pure water
That can wash away the lies
That tyrants obscure.

Ping!

Frank, isn’t this the show that Pedro Picasso watches every morning? Or is it some other primitive?

Anyway, I suspect MSNBC doesn’t want to lose one of their most reliable viewers.

NewsWeak is about 20 pages now, with no advertizers to speak of. Thinner by the week....

I noticed that when I found one in the trash at the doctor's office. I have no idea how it got there either. /s
