The next time you’re waiting at the grocery stands and tempted to buy Us magazine, stop and think again. Unless you’re buying it for research, you may not want to put money in the pockets of rabid partisans who have turned their gossip rag into a propaganda arm for the Democrat Party.
This is the cover of the latest issue of Us:
Now, let me remind you who and what Us magazine put on its June 19, 2008 cover:
A source forwards the following e-mail from former Clinton operative and Us weekly flack, Mark Neschis, that went out to all media in St. Paul:
Thought I would send over our Us Weekly/Sarah Palin cover story, on stands Friday, if helpful in your coverage. Might be useful as an illustration of how the news is playing out.(Us Weekly has 12 million, mostly female readers)

Corporate Communications Director
Wenner Media
Us Weekly | Rolling Stone | Men’s Journal
Steve Hayes notes that Us publisher Jann Wenner is a prominent Obama donor.
Wenner also publishes Rolling Stone, which deified Obama in March. Remember?:
The use of the gossip rags to shape the election is all part and parcel of the Brangelina-fication of the Obamas that I wrote about earlier this summer. They are pulling out all the stops to glorify The One and demonize all who stand in his way.
Truth, fairness, and decency be damned.

Readers are leaving their two cents about Us magazine’s partisan hit job on the rag’s website here.

Don’t you find it rather odd that the same people that view water boarding as torture and have condemned the Bush Administration for its use on 3 occasions, seem to have no problem with a law enforcement officer using a taser on a 10 year old boy?
let them have it

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Since Mr. Wenner is a public figure, and since the cover title of the Us edition is “Babies, Lies & Scandals”, there is some information concerning Mr. Wenner that seems particularly germane.
First, Wenner got his start by stealing a mailing list from a radio station he worked at to get Rolling Stone started, qualifying him as an ABC Person of the week.
That is just a glimpse into the character of the man. It would appear that Wenner has lived his own version of Babies, Lies and Scandals:
April 16, 2007 — JANN Wenner has been stepping out on his long-term life partner and co-father of his young son, Matt Nye.
The publisher of Rolling Stone, Us Weekly and Men’s Journal – who dumped his wife, Jane, of 28 years for pretty-boy fashion designer Nye in 1995 – has been spotted around town with Neal Boulton, the editor-in-chief of Men’s Fitness magazine. Boulton is married, to a woman, with kids…
Wenner’s first relationship melted down in 1995 when he walked out on Jane Schindelheim, the mother of his three kids, to take up with Nye, who is 19 years his junior…
Wenner and Nye further cemented their partnership last year by having a baby boy, Noah, via a surrogate.
The hypocrisy is absolutely astounding.

The media in the tank for Obama
There are no morals in politics; there is only expedience. A scoundrel may be of use to us just because he is a scoundrel.

A lie told often enough becomes the truth.

The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses.

George says” wow this is exactly Obama’s economic plan for us.”
The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.

From the American Thinker
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/09/sarah_palin_and_the_two_americ.html
The left, so wrapped in artifice and fakery, are driven crazy by this. Her behavior appears
bizarre, inexplicable. In their minds, she is a disaster and they pretend to be gleeful, asking when McCain will dump her. All while panicking, because they can see the energized GOP base and the failure of Barack Obama to garner the ten-to-fifteen point post-convention bounce to be expected after his speech before the multimillion-dollar Greek temple set and fireworks at Invesco Field only 5 days ago. Those who planned the classical Greek theatrical stage never for second contemplated the possibility of a deus ex machina named Sarah.
So now they hurl ridiculous, self-discrediting accusations (the fantasy that Palin was not the mother of her baby Trig and was covering for her daughter was published by The Atlantic) and cannot understand that they won’t work on a mom who’s about to become a grandma while caring for a Down syndrome baby. They regard the public as fools to be manipulated, and know that with the MSM megaphone, they can sell practically anything. They turned Ken Starr from a vigorous prosecutor into a sex-obsessed fanatic, didn’t they? The Chicago Annenberg Challenge remains unknown to the vast majority of voters.
Here is the next fascist attack

Here is the text of the email sent out by the campaign:
———- Forwarded message ———-
From: Obama Action Wire
Date: Wed, Aug 27, 2008
Subject: Chicago: CALL TONIGHT to fight the latest smear
[Name] -
In the next few hours, we have a crucial opportunity to fight one of
the most cynical and offensive smears ever launched against Barack.
Tonight, WGN radio is giving right-wing hatchet man Stanley Kurtz a
forum to air his baseless, fear-mongering terrorist smears. He’s
currently scheduled to spend a solid two-hour block from 9:00 to 11:00
p.m. pushing lies, distortions, and manipulations about Barack and
University of Illinois professor William Ayers.
Tell WGN that by providing Kurtz with airtime, they are legitimizing
baseless attacks from a smear-merchant and lowering the standards of
political discourse.
Call into the “Extension 720″ show with Milt Rosenberg at (312) 591-7200
(Show airs from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. tonight)
Then report back on your call at http://my.barackobama.com/WGNstandards
Kurtz has been using his absurd TV appearances in an awkward and
dishonest attempt to play the terrorism card. His current ploy is to
embellish the relationship between Barack and Ayers.
Just last night on Fox News, Kurtz drastically exaggerated Barack’s
connection with Ayers by claiming Ayers had recruited Barack to the
board of the Annenberg Challenge. That is completely false and has
been disproved in numerous press accounts.
It is absolutely unacceptable that WGN would give a slimy character
assassin like Kurtz time for his divisive, destructive ranting on our
public airwaves. At the very least, they should offer sane, honest
rebuttal to every one of Kurtz’s lies.
Kurtz is scheduled to appear from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. in the Chicago market.
Calling will only take a minute, and it will make a huge difference if
we nip this smear in the bud. Confront Kurtz tonight before this goes
any further:

Please forward this email to everyone you know who can make a call tonight.
Keep fighting the good fight,
Obama Action Wire
