meh this is trivial bullshit

get pissed off about something that's worth getting pissed off about, like how McCain can run the most fucked up incompetent campaign in history and still get a free ride from the msm

Pissed off? I think its funny. A hell of a lot funnier than a picture of one of our most decorated generals with the heading: "General Betray-us."

The issue hit the stands on Monday, I think. The date on the cover of a magazine is not the publication date, it's to tell the vendor the date that the issue should be removed from the newsstand.

The Daily Show did an overlong and occasionally funny piece on this issue the other day. Might be worth a look.

It's just a joke ... when I saw a cover on McSame and some others ... it was obvious it was meant to be a joke ... the McSame cover was pretty funny ... the corporate media ... some one called them MSM they are no longer that ... they are only corporate media ... the internet is MSM now ...
... the New Yorker did nothing it hasn't done before ... corporate media loves to make news out of unimportant things so they don't have to cover the real news ...
... that's why God made internet news ...
