Buy this week's TIME and NEWSWEEK!
Edited on Mon Sep-29-03 11:07 AM by Argumentus
It looks like we're finally getting some open, honest, and brutal coverage of the White House...

THEY'LL ONLY KEEP COVERING THE WHITE HOUSE LIKE THIS IF THEY SELL MAGAZINES!

They're whores, right? And what do whores like best? Money! If you want to keep seeing covers like this, then buy their magazine. Buy one to read, one to give to your freeper brother-in-law, and one to leave in the breakroom at work.

Selling out newsstands might just be the most effective form af activism we have -- taking back the media one dollar-sign at a time.



This cover is also suitable for framing.

(On edit: corrected the apostrophe in the title)

9. We have to buy them
The only thing the publishers care about: Does it sell?

If we buy the magazine then they'll realize Truth Sells.

And we'll get more of it.

12. Problem with both Time and Newsweak...
...the pages are "glossy" and not very absorbent...the daily conservative paper (on newsprint) makes for far better accompaniment for those trips to the 'loo...

13. in doctor's offices now!
Having had a lot of doctor visits, which means waiting room time, I have found all of them to have the latest and not so latest issues of TIME on their tables for patients to read.

Not sure what that means but just thought I would pass that info.
