Now this is blatant: Newsweek opens this week with a story about Afganistan on the cover of every edition... except for the US edition which has a story about Annie Leibowitz on the cover..

The hand that rocks the media, rocks the world...

this was on Jon Stewert too.

I'm not sure biased is the right term here. But it is a reflection of how the US is often, (not always), looking inward at themselves and not internationally - as you would expect a 'superpower' to do. The lack of available international news coverage is shocking sometimes (you can find it for sure, but you have to work hard)

b/c she is leaving the journal and is responsible for some of the most iconic photographs of the last 30 years? think of it as a tribute. or go to imus's website and listen to the editor tell it himself. he was interviewed early this week.

yea but you COULD have it as a sub-headline...not as the main thing.

^^^ "Losing Afganistan" isn't such a popular headliner with the elections coming up. Not for the Republicans anyway...

Unbelieveable. Keep it out of midwest grocery store checkout lines and it's not happening.
