1. Now if the headline said, "I Can Wink"
I wouldn't argue too much.

15. I DO like the fact that she includes a section on art news. I think that is an improvement.
But this cover is gross. Just gross.

How can this woman ever go away if the media keeps obsessing over her?

6. I expect there to be 'will she run' covers for 2016 too.
The media will not learn their lesson.

7. Tina Brown's Newsweek covers are truly terrible.
They are all tabloidy and feature non-important newsmakers. I'm kind of sick of it, as a Newsweek subscriber.

That being said, I do love the new design and the stories that matter are still in the magazine. They are still some great reports and pieces of analysis on politics, world affairs, etc. The cover stories more often than not are fluff pieces, though.

9. A subtle hint to males that they might have a chance.
The pictorial at Newsweek features her boobs prominently in all of the shots.

10. So you remember the time she said Newsweek was sexist?
http://thinkprogress.org/media/2011/07/11/264916/palin-poses-for-magazine-she-once-called-sexist/

The latest issue of Newsweek features a cover of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) with the title “I Can Win.” Palin’s decision to pose for the magazine is ironic given that just two years ago, she chastised the magazine for doing a different cover story about her. In November 2009, Palin called Newsweek’s cover of her in runner’s shorts “sexist” and “degrading.” She probably also wasn’t thrilled that the story was captioned “How Do You Solve A Problem Like Sarah?” But now that the magazine’s title is more flattering, Palin seems to be more amenable to publicity from the “lamestream media“:

21. I think I see the outline of the areola on her right breast - A subtle change in color....
Of course that's exactly what that pose and sweater and photograph REALLY want me to see whether it is really there or not.
