After I told Newsweak that I was boycotting them, I got this response!!!

[LizF]

I am skeptical that they know what will be on the front cover of a weekly magazine a month in advance.

I agree.

 

[dircha]

Here's the front cover:


Newsweek
February 2008

Libertarian Presidential Candidate Ron Paul

Hear What He Has To Say:
Lincoln Started Civil War to Undermine Constitution
America Should Take Marching Orders from Al Qaeda

 

[derekjohnson]

great...they will cover him after Feb 5 and the primary season is over...just what he needs.

Thanks, but no thanks...stick with yoru boycot man.

Here's the front cover:


Newspeak
February 2008

Libertarian Presidential Candidate Ron Paul:
Lincoln Started Civil War to Undermine Constitution
America Should Take Marching Orders from Al Qaeda

FYP

Let's just hope they don't put a giant swastika behind him.

I've been looking through all the old magazine's of Newsweaks I have, and only found 2 articles. One desrcibed how he may win independents, but spent as much time talking about how Obama and Hillary are fighting for Independents in NH (they did include a picture of Dr. Paul though). The other article was just calling Ron Paul a conspiracy theorist and alarmist about his talk about the NAU at the CNN/Youtube debate.

 

[Joe3113]

This month in newsweek:

The internet-loving conspiracy theorists candidate, Ron Paul, who has raised a lot of money this quarter (including from some neo-nazis), believes the slave-freeing hero Abraham Lincoln disobeyed the constitution in declaring war against the slave-loving southern hicks. In this months issue we ask the congressman 'should you be in a mental asylum?'

Also, continuing our series of articles on American History, we take a look at the life of a true American hero, Abraham Lincoln, and why he is the best president the country has ever had in the entire history of the universe and then some, and why the civil war, like the war on terror, was the most justified war in history.

Maybe all the other candidates will be on the front cover too?

Maybe all the other candidates will be on the front cover too?

Quite possible

Uh, they don't decide things like this weeks in advance. Even if the email was sent and the sender believed it.

If you want to see what the article may be like, read Newsweek's Howard Fineman's hit pieces on RP available on their site. He also did a 4-part (or so) interview of RP. They rival Fox noise, disinfo, and banality.

 

[jorlowitz]

It will look like this...

The man who remade the campaign.
A retrospective on Paul's wild run and how it changed the game.

It will have a picture of Paul, a blimp, and a wad of cash.

It will be about... the internet I bet they're planning on running it one week after the results, assuming that he's going to drop out but, of course, leave his grassroots techno-legacy.​

 

[Goldwater Conservative]

If this is even true, it'll either be a "holy shit, Ron Paul is winning!" issue or, far less likely , a "Ron Paul lost, will he now run third party?" issue. It won't be a smear, but isolationism will be mentioned and "libertarian" capitalized.

Boycott Ye Olde Media

Newsweek is not left or right it is CFR-run, which means pro-war, pro-NAU, and anti-Paul.

Correct - it's owned by The Washington Post...

... expect sophisticated smear or F.U.D.-job

Boycott Ye Olde Media

 

[Carole]

You should write them back and tell them you expect a fair and balanced article in Feb issue or ELSE...spread the word to boycott!!!

 

[Carole]

And tfor that reason it is maybe the only reason they are putting him on the cover!!

Remember John Stoessel did that big interview with Dr. Paul and they did not use it, except online? I think Stossel was just using Paul to drum up sales for his book.

 

[Carole]

Quixotic web campaign fails to live up to old time stumping

MSM still the voters choice as Paul web campaign nosedives!

Voters afraid of internet and its offbeat candidate!

 

[homeboyjase]

Ron Paul Wins Iowa, NH, Michigan, SC, and Florida.

Read his comments on dealing with his upcoming defeat on super tuesday.

 

[freedom-maniac]

Has anything ever transpired from this?

 

[rmholla]

Maybe we should all call the magazine and ask if the Ron Paul cover and article are still planned as we are only going to buy the issue if he is on the cover and the article is fair to him and his policy issues.
