Us Magazine Covers Show Clear Political Bias

Though I had never read Us Magazine, I had to look at it after allegations of blatant anti-Republican bias were brought to my attention this morning by the folks at Fox News Channel’s Fox & Friends program.

I went online and found the two covers of the weekly rag that bills its offerings as the “hottest celebrity news, photos, fashion and video from Hollywood.”  The bias was impossible to miss.

The cover of the current issue shows John McCain running mate Sarah Palin holding her baby and appearing under a large-type headline that reads, BABIES, LIES & SCANDAL.  The cover of the June 19 issue features Barack Obama and his wife Michelle in a loving embrace with the headline, Why Barack Loves Her, superimposed on top of the image.

While I’m all in favor of First Amendment freedoms, I’m also in favor of making sure members of the voting public receive clear, honest and unadulterated information about the presidential choices that will appear on ballots in November.  Because Us Magazine is owned by Jann Wenner, a big-time Obama supporter who also founded Rolling Stone, the latter is not going to happen if left up to him.  Therefore, conservative voters should consider taking other steps such as this one, offered by Michelle Malkin:

The next time you’re waiting at the grocery stands and tempted to buy Us magazine, stop and think again. Unless you’re buying it for oppo research, you may not want to put money in the pockets of rabid partisans who have turned their gossip rag into a propaganda arm for the Democrat Party.

Good advice, Michelle!
