Rawstory says US Weekly is being attacked by RW.....
I'm not into tabloids but I'm buying this weeks US weekly.


.... Five thousand might not seem like a large number at first glance, but it’s significant in the context of Us’s printing schedule. The magazine goes to press Monday night, which means subscribers don’t receive their issues until Friday or Saturday. In other words, the cancellations are coming from subscribers who, in many cases, haven’t even gotten their hands on the actual issue.

“When Us went to print Monday night, it looked like the ticket was falling apart," says one magazine editor. “They went to print thinking Palin was dead in the water, and their mistake was thinking everyone who reads Us is a Democrat, when they’re not. Readers are loyal, but the base of a political party is more loyal. They don’t need to read the magazine when there’s so much press around it to know to be upset.”

3. This is why Palin will be gone for several weeks.

This comes out this week, plus The Enquirer... They're going to hunker down in hopes that this goes away.

6. The fundie GOP base is not interested in hearing anything except
what they want to hear. Democrats inform themselves, even on the bad stuff--but Republicans automatically reject everything that doesn't agree with their worldview or opinion of someone.
