I've been subscribed to Newsweak ezine for quite some time now
and pretty much the only thing I read are the headlines. Two weeks,
ago one of the headlines was interesting enough so I read the article
to see if Dr. Paul was mentioned... Of course, there was no mention
of our man Ron Paul.

So I emailed Newsweak and told them that I was publicly and actively
boycotting
them, and that I requested that my clients and subscribers
do the same.

I went on to say that either they are uneducated journalists who didn't
know how to do research thus should be fired OR that they were biased
reporters. Either way, they were doing a great dissatisfaction to the
American people and I was going to do what I could to let everyone
know about it!

I didn't think much about it and I wasn't expecting a response, but a
week later I got a reply email. (I'm not at my laptop so this isn't a quote.)
The reply said something to the affect that they were sorry to hear that
and that they'd like me to reconsider the boycott. She (Patti) said to
keep a look out for the February 2008 Newsweak issue because Dr. Paul
would be on the front cover.

Let's wait and see, but either way, it's too late for me.

p.s. The February Newsweak should be out in late January... just in
time for Super Tuesday.
 
If they do a decent piece on RP, it should sell out completely! Now, that would send a message!
 
If the piece they are supposidly doing on Paul is either neutral or positive, it will be tremendous for the campaign and heading into Super Tuesday. *crosses fingers*
 
As its name suggests, Newsweek is a weekly magazine.

For which week of the four in February will the cover feature Ron Paul?

Don't get your hopes up. The magazine is left, don't expect much from it.
 
It seems to be that the left wing media treat us more fairly than the right. So I'll continue to *cross fingers*
 
Interesting timing. I guess the context of the picture will rely on how he does on feb 5th. (unless its before, which could be a big boost assuming it's not a hit piece)
 
While this certainly would be amazing, for some reason I have a feeling that the headline will be some "Blaming the U.S." bullsh*t
 
tell them to run print ads in their current issues or else you will end subscription and get a free photocopy of the article after february

also tell them you want the right to see a copy of the artcile BEFORE it is printed or esle you will END SUBCRIPTIOn NOW.
 
Guess the headline game:

1) Viable 3rd party candidate?
2.) How kooky is Ron Paul?
3.) How kooky are Ron Paul supporters?

I'll bet they use the most unflattering photo they can get on RP with dark sinister lighting...

They did that to buchanana years ago....made him look like Satan...caption Read: PREACHING HATE
 
I'm 98% positive that it's the 1st February issue.

Hm, if that's the case then It will probably be like edwards' recent "sleeper candidate" article, assuming RP has done really well in the jan primaries.

Either that or, if he does bad in january (heaven forbid), then it'll probably be something stupid like "the revolution is over." It is a liberal rag after all.
