Newsweek in the Obama Tank: Sexist Palin Cover

[deacon974]

Wow, is fox news have a cult following of Sarah palin or what. Smdh.

[Twostones00]

Sarah palin is a dog. Without makeup she is a scarecrow.

[szechwean]

"You can't see it, but trust me, IT'S THERE."

Also, the horror that they used an ACTUAL picture instead of a Photoshopped one.

[killdaclownz]

I no longer want to sex ms palin!!

She is SCARY LOOKING in the REALS!!

[fenixfoto]

So the media roasts us photographers when we retouch a photo and apparently when we don't.

I find it shocking and sad that these people don't understand the difference between advertising and fashion photography and EDITORIAL NEWS PHOTOGRAPHY.

The Charlotte Observer fired one of the (IMHO) best photojournalists in the country a few years back for color correcting a frame he under-exposed--that's how serious real news organizations take doctoring photos.

[fenixfoto]

Retouching news photos is NOT common practice among, as stated, it's a serious breach of photojournalism ethics.

[DynamicScherzo]

"OMG NO WAY! A NORMAL WOMAN'S FACE! AHHHH!"

[DynamicScherzo]

Fox news can sniff my ass

[billoakesattablthree]

Remember how Fox touched up photos to the detriment of some of the Democrats and Fox even admitted it. So I agree with Megan since they are guilty of doing the same thing get rid of Fox and actually look at the news - what will happen ? You'll be more intelligent.

[VincentBlouin]

fox news = retarted

[VincentBlouin]

omg how lame is this ?

[socialmedic]

newsweek 2008, sexist, David Letterman, sexist, newsweek 2009 sexist .... female politician running around ramming her arcane patriarchial religous viewpoint down everybody's throat not sexist? Forcing her own daugther to bear a rape baby not sexist? Demanding women not have the right to choose whether or not they die in childbirth, not sexist? Palin is sexist - against her OWN sex!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tnfellow]

Palin is showing her double standards,. she's a "gold digger", where it's ok to show some skin or ( T/A) to make some cash and be in the spot light!!,, but when freedom of the press works, she wants to cry foul,, and portray a victom's role,,,,, typical of arrogant people that want to manipulate society for their own personal gains,,, like other groups that want to call each other "Nigger" thats ok,, but when society also uses the same speech, then thay want to enact racist slander charges,,

[skinwalkerxxx]

wow I've never seen something so retarded in my life. I didn't know that women like the one on the right actualy existed.

[elmucks]

This is what passes for news nowadays.

"It is a slap in the face to Sarah Palin! How DARE they not airbrush her photo?"

[rickyponting2009]

I often hear the phrase "SOME SAY" from FOX news. Who are they? Please enlighten us. This is a big problem amidst economic catastrophe.

[BassVirtual]

Everyone has shit on their face up close, retards.

[foreignerherochick]

This is so stupid. She looks better than most people her age. Every women has flaws, and she doesn't look like a hag.

[capills]

impeach newsweek!

hahahahahaaaaaaaa

[nike2422]

I can't believe people watch Faux Noise and take it seriously

[ILIKEWALLS]

AMERICA IS FUCKING STUPID

[livediebehappy]

i think theres a bit of a difference between a women whose running for vice president and a supermodel...not sure the same 'rules' apply to both.

[zachb777]

Fuck Fox News! Fuck Bill O Reilly! All fucking snakes

[nigglefritz]

LOL! The Fox ladies are worried about what she looks like? Of course tey don't comment on the WORDS in the article. Clueless....

[diggersstory]

Gooooood grief can we get anymore shallow than this? UNBELIEVABLE!

[buddhabreath]

Stupid superficial ignorant idiot shit-for-brains useless snots. Who would take this seriously. Oh yeah, conservative Republican un-American brain-dead coward robots! You know, the type that are afraid of Obama! Go blow George W Bush, that's all that's left 'cause he's fucked you from every angle and you want more. Filthy toilet faggot Republicans!

[k75144]

didn't get a response because they were probably too busy LAUGHING at you!!!!!

[garrafilms]

Stop the nation. I'm getting off in the next country.

[p51joe]

Barney Frank, Dodd and Cox were retouched. By the media complex. Caused this financial meltdown and they come out smelling like roses. That's an issue, but the left can't stand truth.

[p51joe]

Sarah is HOTTTTTTTTT! At least she has legs and a shape that doesn't have to hide under a pants suit! Plus, She can bring home the bacon, and fry it up in a pan...And blows away any dum dum female politician on the left. My gosh... Nancy Pelosi? Maxine Waters? Barbara Boxer? Claire McCaskill? Her husband won the election and she takes over! What did she ever do? Ah, dumbocrats. Gotta love their feckless argumentitive style.

[2ndteam]

I am sooooo glad I am gay!

[whataclusterfuck]

Too funny, people are mad because she's ugly without make-up and "touching up".

[Espanjoel]

Talk about sexism! Do you think Fox would ever make an issue of a picture of a man that wasn't touched up?

With all the crap that is going on and this is what they're wasting time on?

Ridiculous.

[98rsd]

Does Fox think that Palin attending five colleges to get her BA in Journalism--all of them bottom tier schools--isn't mediocre? Mediocre is complimentary.

[98rsd]

Can Fox and McCain-Palin get any more trivial???

[Swinefeld]

Let's not talk about the shitty economy. Hell no! We un-retouched photos of Sarah Palin to talk about.

The horror!

[UmbaFlicks]

Welcome to America! Haha

-UmbaFlicks

[LODGE4444]

In girls in this video are really pathetic

[esgranny]

What an insult to Sara Phalin - to imply she should be insulted by that photograph on the cover - the economy is falling apart, and Julia is worried because a few faint facial hairs, which I couldn't find - I hate to think our newswomen are that vain. This is not an unflattering picture, this is a clear slap to all women - 99% of whom would consider that a very flattering picutre. But I am not voting for looks and hope you aren't either. She loks beautiful and happy

[martinblank2]

That set the movement for women's equal rights back 30 years.

"OMG, This magazine used the wrong blush on the VP candidate. Let's discuss her shoes, ladies!"

Great job Fox News!.

[RaginCelt]

Republicans are the party of Whiners. It's seems only Ron Paul is the only Republican that doesn't bitch.

[beatnuts96]

who the fuck cares? our country is going to shit and your talking about a fucking touchup? eat my dick

[wreckedpc]

Slap in the face..

with a dick?

[keygbay]

douche bags. If they retouched, Fox would have been outraged and if they didn't, they would have been outraged. It just some time waster to get people to forget about the tanking economy. JESUS Bush still had another FUCKup in him.

[lawilson200]

Snif! Snif! Ah! The smell of desperation and air of defeat.

[FreshCliches]

THIS, from the "news" channel that BROADCAST BAD PHOTOSHOPPED IMAGES OF Fox News critic Jacques Steinberg!!

watch?v=NfD_oq7N5X4

HYPOCRITES!!!

[chump203]

The ugly cunt looks like an ugly cunt? what's there to contend?

[ilovehollycombs]

OMFG! the lady on the right is such a fucking stupid republican! CLEARLY! i cant believe people are dying in the world, and THIS SHIT is making the news?? WTF is wrong with america?? fox news?? WTF!?!?!?

I cant even believe this is real!!!

[retrop75]

She has a nice fluffy moustache!!

[dougzilla]

This is probably the stupidest thing I have seen on Fox so far.

OK time for the obvious platitudes. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

You can polish a turd but its still is going to be a turd.

[ThePatriotsMaxims]

LO freakin' L...republicans are so scared they are reaching for any asinine thing they can find.

[snidelywhiplash]

How utterly asinine. WHINE WHINE WHINE.

[sepsisXIII]

Bwhahahaah! Repubs are such whiney douches.

[uhohseven]

This is all you got whiners? What a bunch of pathetic whining fucktards you've all become republicans!

[ROOKTABULA]

Everyone who votes for Palin and her running mate?

Should be shipped to Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo to spend some time...

Seriously:

WHO

The

FEK

Cares?!

[NightriderXP1]

How low can they go. Faux Noise among other things is a pety organization...

[2guzup]

A person's real face comes out sooner or later, fuckers!. I wonder if Bill Ayers had something to do with it.

[Kagura19]

...I'm speechless D:

[TulseLuper]

How is this news?

[MDesigner]

Boo...frickin'...hoo.  This is newsworthy?!?!

[FilipeBrasAlmeida]

So Palin's ugly as hell and now it's Newsweek's fault. This is when you know they are losing in landslides.

[WendyAnne1022]

My firs thought was WTF why are they even covering this lame story, and then I realized that it is Faux News.

[kreeper887]

fuck fox news

[savethehumans420]

WHO ARE THESE 'FOLKS' AT THE KITCHEN TABLE? stfu fox.

[xarker]

A new low.

[MikeJMills]

More manufactured "outrage" from Fox Noise. She's supposed to be a pit bull with lipstick, guys! Get your talking points straight! Now we're all in a hissy because her hairs and pores are revealed?

The economy is near a meltdown, and Fox fusses over such fluff. Save your outrage for the Bush Administration Director of Thrift Supervision, who showed up to press conference with a copy of the Federal Register and a chainsaw.

[nozerider]

I don't know how these people don't choke under their own hypocrisy.

[hailmolvania]

OMG FOX is just the most horrible thing ever

[FilipeBrasAlmeida]

Pretty much yeah.

[ceejcoins]

hahaha!! Foxnews is an example of the media being controlled by rich right-wingers and a something accurate gets out and they freak out.

[ZeusOwnsYou]

lol her normal face is a slap in the face to her

[TriciaKelly1989]

Who cares!

Palin should have waxed her upper lip if she knew she was going to be on the cover a a magazine.Maybe she should invest in laser treatment.This is just ridiculous.

[budallison1]

A crappy way to show a person of her position. It would,nt ever be done to the perfect obama.un-fair. just goes to show how the lib,s are totatly in the tank for obama.... LIBERLISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER..........

[savethehumans420]

her face won't make her qualified, idiot.

[FilipeBrasAlmeida]

Liberalism is the greatest ideology and body of thought ever conceived. It founded your country and rooted freedom and rule of law as a staple of western civilization. It has fought every single travesty from slavery to totalitarianism... and you have the gall to call it a mental disorder?

[Warner333]

You FOX morons have lost your fucking minds. I tell you what, you pea-brained tools: Look up "FOX, Jacques Steinberg and Steven Redcliffe." Go see what FOX did to their pictures. At what point will you all grow the hell up? You're officially an embarrassment. These bimbos on FOX are now whining that Newsweek DIDN'T fake a pic of Palin? Christ Almighty, help these people grow a brain, so they know what really matters in life. FOX & its devoted idiot minion: Grow up or get neutered.

[JayAreDubya]

IT"S NEWSWEEK! You can't expect them to be fair in the first place. They give Obama an existential hand job every issue.

[asianax79]

It's FAUX! This is what they call news? Ridiculous waste of time! Where are the issues? The freaking economy is down the drain and all faux talks about is looksism.

If they really wanted to amke this a "real" issue they should have brought someone credible like Naomi Wolfe (author of "Myth of Beauty"!

[EasyEs]

Wait..Naomi Wolfe..you mentioned this women name in the same sentence as credible.... wow..I am not American I don't have a dog in this fight..

[braineaterbob]

"credible like Naomi Wolfe"

Now that's funny!

[stelron5050]

This is a major concern of those "folks" like Joe Six'pack and Mary Meth'head who make up Sarah Palins fan base.

[uhohseven]

"Mary Meth'head"  That's priceless. Can I steal that?

[stelron5050]

You can't steal the truth. That's why it's priceless. It belongs to us all.

It is yours to share my friend, however you choose.

[hickorydk]

The beauty is in the inside not in the outside look.

Do you think people would vote for McCain-Palin if they see the retouched picture of Palin on the Newsweek cover? Think deeper Andrea.

[MauryDann73]

Is this some kind of joke? Are these women serious? All I can say is that I had no idea whatsoever what the problem was until it was explained. Do they realize how astonishingly petty their argument sounds?
