I could be wrong - but I do not think I so :

Michael Isikoff at Newsweek was the one who sat on and covered up the Monica Lewinski story that they had researched and written well before Matt Drudge dropped the bombshell and made the Clintonista MSM suddenly play catch-up because they were caught pimping for Slick Willie.

Newsweek Apologizes for Quran Story Errors

Fifteen people died and scores were injured in violence between protesters and security forces, prompting U.S. promises to investigate the allegations. After Muslim leaders in several countries assailed the U.S. over the allegations, Pentagon officials blamed Newsweek for the flare-up and accused it of "irresponsible" reporting. "We regret that we got any part of our story wrong, and extend our sympathies to victims of the violence and to the U.S. soldiers caught in its midst," Newsweek Editor Mark Whitaker wrote in a note to readers.

If anyone has the email address for Newsleak I'd be glad to send a message.

I'd rather have a collection of e-mail addresses for all of the ADVERTISERS. A quick copy 'n' paste into the address field, let 'em know why ads published in that venue will never be seen by this monied baby boomer, and let nature take its course. They'll find other places to spend their advertising budgets, and Newsweek will be flushed.

Don't forget, it was Isikoff who SUPRESSED the Monica story until Drudge found out and blasted it all over the internet in his daily emails!

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, IMO.

We can send Newsweek a message by gathering up as many of their subscription cards as you can (wherever you can get your hands on them *hint hint*) and mail them back to Newsweek with these words on them:

NEWSWEEK LIED, PEOPLE DIED!

Since Christians didn't riot when an "artist" put a crucifix in a jar of urine, or even when Palestinians stormed the Church of the Nativity and used the Bible as toilet paper, we can send this message.

When Newsweek starts getting hundreds of thousands of cancellations and these 'rejected' subscription cards in the mail then they'll relally understand our outrage at their irresponsible "reporting". .

If a story is appearing about democrats, such as the hilaryfundraiser'sgoingtojail type story, then the MSM is silent.

we must verify, verify, verify
