Newsweek, how DARE you run an un-airbrushed photo of Sarah Palin on the cover of your magazine?!
I know your name has the word "News" in it and that it's the cardinal sin of photojournalism to alter images, but that picture is "mortifying." Not just unflattering ... MORTIFYING.
You can see some stray eyebrow hairs and ... gasp! ... PORES!!! No one can know she's human!!
Ok ... what you just witnessed was biting sarcasm. Unfortunately, the people in this clip from FOX News weren't being sarcastic because they were too busy being complete idiots.
I have my concerns about Palin (not as many as most people, but some), and I have conservative leanings, but I sensed nothing unfair about the way this photo was treated. She looks a lot better than I would that close up, and she's twice my age.
I hesitate to express my political opinion because I inevitably get lumped in with people like this who try to find liberal bias and controversy in the stupidest places. So on behalf of reasonable conservatives everywhere ... stop barking like overeager beagles at every whiff of unfairness and talk about the REAL news! I'm begging you.
P.S. Democrats, the same goes for you when it comes to sniffing out racism toward Obama. It's not as prevalent as you think, so put your tails down.

That woman on the right is nuts! How can you demand that a news organization airbrushes a political figure (or anyone?!) If she's one of the "folks" why would anyone want a photoshopped facade?
And Natalie's right. It's only going to get worse until election day. Good grief.
So glad you posted this! I didn't get a chance to see it!
She looks great! Those women are nuts. We talk so much about equality . . . then demand to have a woman's cover pic on a magazine to be retouched?
All politics aside, I hope to look that good when I'm her age.
