Roland Martin Dismisses Bachmann-Newsweek Outrage: 'Get Real
August 10th, 2011 5:37 PM
Even liberal comedian John Stewart thought Newsweek went too far with its Michele Bachmann cover page, but CNN analyst Roland Martin sees no story here. Martin is blunt with "angry conservatives, and delusional feminists" in his latest CNN.com op-ed telling them to "get real."
"To the angry conservatives, and delusional feminists, give it a rest. There is nothing sexist about the photo, nor…

Bachmann Is Latest Target in Media's War on Conservative Women
August 10th, 2011 12:35 PM
Liberal bias is rampant among the media, but there is no more tangible example of it than in how the media treat Conservative women. The most recent cover of Newsweek features a very wide-eyed Michele Bachmann, looking surprised and unattractive. Perhaps more disturbing is the caption Newsweek placed below the presidential candidate's photo: "Queen of Rage."
Bachmann, an attractive 55 year-…

Newsweek editor Tina Brown defended her magazine's controversial cover portraying Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) as the "Queen of Rage" on the August 10 edition of MSNBC's "Morning Joe," offering no apology since the three-term congresswoman could become America's first "crazy" president.

Jon Stewart Takes On Newsweek: 'That's a S---ty Picture of Michele Bac
August 10th, 2011 10:55 AM
It seems even comedian Jon Stewart is a offended by Newsweek's pathetic cover photo of Congresswoman Michele Bachmann.
Unfortunately, after ridiculing the magazine and its editor Tina Brown for using an obviously "s---ty picture," the "Daily Show" host couldn't resist taking some potshots of his own at the conservative presidential candidate (video follows with transcript and commentary):

CNN Picks Up on Bachmann's Newsweek Cover Photo, Questions Media's Tre
August 9th, 2011 3:30 PM
Newsweek's embarrassing cover photo of Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) garnered attention not only from conservative blogs, but also from the major networks and cable news. CNN ran Bachmann's wide-eyed picture on the latest Newsweek cover multiple times Tuesday morning, asking if the picture and harsh headline were examples of media maltreatment of conservative women presidential candidates…

Mediaite's Christopher Calls 'Bulls**t' on Newsweek Over Bachmann 'Out
August 9th, 2011 3:01 PM
Probably in response to a firestorm of criticism over their cover photo of Rep. Michele Bachmann, Newsweek today released a slideshow of "outtakes" that they say show that, in essence, the Minnesota Republican is unphotogenic and didn't give them much to work with in terms of a flattering photo.
For his part, left-leaning Mediaite.com reporter Tommy Christopher isn't buying it, calling "bulls…
Flashback: Newsweek’s Adulatory 2008 Obama Cover Portraits
August 9th, 2011 1:32 PM
With outrage from right to left over Newsweek’s “Queen of Rage” cover story photo of Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann in which she looks crazy, or at least empty-headed, a look back at how during the last campaign the magazine, under previous ownership, made sure candidate Barack Obama always looked presidential.

If You Thought Newsweek's Cover Photo of Bachmann Was Bad Wait Until Y
August 9th, 2011 12:57 PM
When even the ultra-liberal National Organization for Women is attacking Newsweek's cover photo of Michele Bachmann as sexist it's clear that magazine has sunk to a new low, but the Lois Romano companion story may be even more insulting than the "Queen of Rage" photo itself. The article for the August 15 issue entitled, "Tea Party Queen, Why Michele Bachmann Is Riding High Going Into Iowa"…

Newsweek's Tomasky: Obama's Screwed Because He Naively Believes in 'Ci
August 8th, 2011 6:29 PM
To Michael Tomasky, Barack Obama's problem is not lack of leadership or a rigid fixation to liberal ideology.
No, it's just that the president is too darn decent a guy, a veritable Mr. Smith who's gone to Washington, but perhaps in this case without the Capraesque happy ending:

August 7th, 2011 8:01 PM

If Gawker is right, she's not going to like the picture the magazine used:

Eleanor Clift: Fannie and Freddie Didn't Cause Mortgage Collapse - It
July 10th, 2011 9:59 PM
It is truly fascinating how liberal media members will do anything to protect the reputation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
On this weekend's "McLaughlin Group," Newsweek's Eleanor Clift revised history to largely absolve the two government-sponsored enterprises for last decade's mortgage collapse while predictably blaming it on Wall Street and of course George W. Bush (video follows with…

Chuck Todd: Limbaugh Couldn't Win GOP Nomination - Doubtful Palin Coul
July 10th, 2011 6:24 PM
David Gregory decided to have a very fair and balanced roundtable discussion at the conclusion of Sunday's "Meet the Press" exclusively with the perilously liberal Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson and the equally left-leaning Chuck Todd of NBC News.
With the subject being Newsweek's new cover story about former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, Todd mysteriously made the case for how slim…

Newsweek-Daily Beast Scare Story: 'White Supremacist Stampede' for Pub
July 8th, 2011 7:05 AM
James Taranto at The Wall Street Journal just demolished a scare piece by Newsweek reporter Eve Conant (posted on July 4) with the overwrought headline "White Supremacist Stampede: A startling number of white-power candidates are seeking public office."
If we're being warned of dangerous new wave of white racist extremists, it naturally is another product of the leftist Southern Poverty Law…
