NorthSideSox72 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 No audio at work... what is the deal with the picture? Did Newsweek run a cover pic of Palin that was unflattering or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Newsweek run a cover pic of Palin that was unflattering or something? Basically 2 of the 3 women are pissed they did not retouch a photo of Palin on newsweek. This just adds to the list of silly issues fox news covers. (The name Obama sounds similar to Osama, Palin's daughter is pregnant etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxy Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I believe the problem was that she wasn't retouched. So she had some wrinkles? Whatever, at least she has a normal 40-something woman face and not a hot botox mess like Nicole Kidman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I always knew that Newsweek was a socialist, commie, muslim, Bill Ayers loving magazine. Not to mention they are awful make up artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Fox, why don't you cover...um...news? Haven't y'all figured it out yet? 2 options. 1. Cover economic collapse 2. Cover other random stuff that gives you a chance to rant about the liberal media. #1 is bad for John McCain. #2 is good for him. Which do you choose if your job is to elect John McCain?

Not even by accident. About 5 years ago during the runup to the war, when the entire media was beating the war drums loudly (but especially Fox), it used to sit about 15 feet from my work station on a big-screen TV when I was deployed. Because I worked nights, that meant I would normally be watching prime-time, which meant a healthy dose of O'Reilly, Hannity, Cavuto (who isn't that bad), etc. This is mostly because people in the military are overwhelmingly Republican and couldn't stand CNN (even though they were pretty jingoistic too), and nobody wanted to watch BBC. Anyway my whole point in saying this is that I had no choice but to watch Fox because it was blaring into my left ear for almost a year, and I spent quite a bit of time admiring Laurie Dhue because she is possibly one of the hottest news anchors on TV. Well, was, she doesn't work for Fox anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the thread topic....pretty simple...Did they touch up photos for RSO, his wife, Hillary, etc...If so....why wouldn't they for Palin. That's all it is, nothing more, nothing less. Unless it's some leftwing rag mag, all things should be equal and that includes how they treat cover photos. If they were gonna show some photos in an unflattering light for one party and not for the other, well then the arguement is legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it really wasn't until around that time when a good friend of mine actually sat me down and told me in a non-condescending way what conservatives are all about. Up to that point, I really didn't know, it's not really something that's taught in school. So what used to annoy me about Fox wasn't so much partisan politics and Democrat-bashing (although that was kind of annoying, for it to be so one-sided), it was stuff like O'Reilly bashing Ludacris when he clearly has no clue what he's talking about or Hannity making thinly veiled, borderline racist statements. I learned to tune all that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you asking me because you think I don't know, because you think I was trying to bait with that statement, or just out of curiosity to see what I'm going to say? They are "about" less government, as much free market as possible, lower taxes, lower government spending among other things, which may or may not be what the Republican party is about. Speaking of less government involvement I still haven't really figured out why social conservatives have so much influence among conservatives because it's basically the government telling people what to do and how to act.

Speaking of less government involvement I still haven't really figured out why social conservatives have so much influence among conservatives because it's basically the government telling people what to do and how to act. That's because there are really two Republican parties at this point. The social conservatives took over a lot of control starting int he 90's, but now they are waning. If the GOP was really about the bolded part, as it was at one time, I'd be more in their court. This is why I have voted for more Republicans for President than Democrats, but not recently. Unfortunately, they pretty much walked away from that. They are now spend-and-spend (as opposed to the tax-and-spend liberals), and get into everyone's lives and business. Its disturbing, and its the main reason why I've become more aligned with the left in the past decade or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
