    Unfortunately,the media bias for not only Fox News but the major networks,as well, is in the conservative direction. It’s probably because they are owned by corporations ,whose rights are the only ones the teabaggers believe in.

      “Idiocracy” is not in the future. It is our now……”Brawndo has what plants want” = “Tax cuts for corporations will create jobs”. Neither is true yet as people say it over and over they eventually believe it is true. Stupid is as stupid does……

    When Bachmann blames “Obama and the politicians” for the current state of the economy, does she forget that she is one of “the politicians”?? Or does she think we’re all stupid? She’s dangerous…

    I really thought this cover was in poor taste. Yes, everyone is entitled to an opinion, even a magazine, but let the facts speak for a candidate. don’t go the extra mile to make her look insane. it just makes Newsweek/liberal media look completely undignified. and for the record I do not support Bachmann and am decidedly liberal.

    Tina Brown must be dancing with joy – all this press for a worthless magazine.

    Everything someone says that MB is from Minnesota, I cringe. As a person who lives in MN and did not vote for her, I’m embarrassed as if I actually had been responsible for releasing her into the world. Just to let you know, there are A LOT of us here who wish that she’s say she were from somewhere else. Most of us good folk are not extremist on one end of the spectrum or the other. In fact, it’s VERY non-Minnesotan to bring this kind of attention to yourself for this kind of personal gain. You put your head down, work hard, lean into it, and if anyone tries to point you out for a job well done, you say it was “No big deal.”

      I know you didnt, I am your neighbor in Fargo, ND. T-Paw did nothing for you guys either. We have two new stupids in ND too.

    I am from Minnesota. I have seen many photos of Bachmann. This is a NORMAL look for her. She often photographs with that look-however anyone wants to describe it. For goodness sake, why all the controversy over a photo that accurately depicts anyone as they actually are? Jeeze, gotta disagree with Jon on this one…..

    Drugs can seriously impact your male fertility. It can also harm your unborn baby. Remember, the first thing to do while figuring out how you are trying to conceive fast is to stop consuming alcohol before getting pregnant
