Newsweek: The Clinton Media Outlet

Have you seen the recent cover of Newsweek? The one with Hillary Clinton ever-so-fetchingly emblazoned, roughly 74% of her facial wrinkles air-brushed out, accompanied by the misty-eyed, catch-in-the-throat phrase "I found my own voice." {{Dabs at eyes, dramatically}}

One of the nuggets of hard-nosed journalism to be found within includes:
Letting Hillary Be Hillary

"Then, on the morning of the day before the voting, in a Portsmouth, N.H., diner, a female questioner asked Clinton how she kept going through it all. The mask of command slipping, Clinton spoke honestly, her voice cracking, saying, "I just don't want to see us go backwards."

The noble idealism. The selfless sacrifice, the depth of emo. Your taking notes, right? Getting all this down? ITS IMPORTANT!

Oh, and the only other politician mentioned on the cover? Barak Obama. But, head on inside the issue, and it's a different story. G.W. Bush gets all sorts of notice.

In The Shadow of Bush

"The president has left his party in a precarious state. But the GOP candidates running in the wake of his wreckage can learn much from his failures."

I don't imagine it's any really big leap of logic to figure out into which camp this partisan publication has thrown its support. Fourth Estate my arse.
