"any woman who sees this cover would be shocked and horrified"

overstatement anyone?

[sweatpantsmurphey]

if woman want to be taken seriously in politics and or news....they should not devote entire news segments to talking about woman's appearance instead of their policies.

More than anything else, THIS shows the essence of FOX News. Unreal.

Boy, good thing Fox decided to run this story INSTEAD OF ACTUAL NEWS isn't it? If they started reporting news, they might have to do some work, and we wouldn't want their soft little hands to get blisters!!

@JennRighter Finally. Someone else that understands. Maybe there is hope for us after all. Now if only more people would get it.

I cant believe I just listened to 5 minutes of bitching from 3 annoying bitches about some other dumb bitch's face when it should be commenting on....oh I dont know...her policy?

Not that Palin's policies are anything to talk about...

[warringah08]

how dare they show a person looking as normal people do with all the same imperfections that others have

No-one would give a shit if it was a man on the front cover. But apparently, these Fox bimbos know all too well it's more important to be glamoured up than have any substance or intelligent insight,

One last thing...There is only one political party in America...Half of it is Republican and half is Democrat. Their policies are indecipherable from each other. You can't claim Fox News is crap but laud CNN and MSNBC. They're all Republicrats and all serve the same purpose. Think beyond the political party debate!

bad reporting here, and really there is the underlying issue of how women are treated in politics and the media. It would be nice if there were some people who would back me up on this. It isn't about whether or not you like Sarah Palin or Hilary Clinton. It's about women in the media and the small things that news organizations can do to make people look bad in the eyes of the public.

standard for beauty these days is completely unattainable because it is literally computer generated. Although men are also discriminated against for their appearance, it's MUCH worse if you're a woman. Every woman that enters politics is ridiculed or admired for their appearance and wardrobe. Hilary Clinton, Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman...They're all thin, too. I'm sure I'll get a lot of hateful responses, because that seems to be the game on Youtube. But look beyond the overstatement and

I completely dislike Sarah Palin...I completely dislike Fox, CNN and MSNBC. I'm not a Republican or a Democrat. This is vastly overstated and honestly I think Sarah Palin looks just fine on that cover, and really, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Honestly, what this really highlights, is the sexism and gender bias that occurs in our society. No photos go out untouched anymore, people clamor to see photos of celebrities without make up and talk about how hideous they look etc. The
