Anyone find this week's "Newsweek" to be open and obvious GOP Propaganda?

I mean even more so than before.

In it:

- A huge, six page, puff piece on Mormonism
- An article completely bashing First Lady Michelle Obama
- An infographic that takes two pages to list the techie 'Saints of Capitalism' (my words, not theirs)
- A story on "Macho Men" and how we should all try to emulate their ways
- An article on how great Military rule in Egypt is, and how bad Assad is - for doing the same exact thing (BTW..not a fan of Assad, but dollars to donuts if he let us put a base there, he'd be our BFF)
- A cover seemingly poking fun of Romney, only to reveal a very Pro-Romney article embedded in the Mormon-worship section

1. I looked at the cover and tossed the whole thing into recycling--didn't even peek inside.

3. Well...

Hasn't Newsweek always been a right wing propaganda magazine? My mother in law used to get it and it seems to me it was always slanted to the right!

4. I've always thought Time was the more Conservative rag

Granted, not every time, not every story and not every case

But for The Economist, a magazine that declares itself Centre-Right and Tory, to be more leftist than Newsweek is a surprise.

5. Exclusive: Hotel Sex Poll
