Huh.

Look at the different releases of Newsweek, on the left-hand side of the webpage:

WTF?

[yeahwho]

Apparently Newsweek feels keeping the advertisers and the consumer in a hunky dory mood is a much better idea than depressing the hell out of them.

and they're owned by the Washington Post Company, a smaller media conglomerate, thats a real good catch there queenie. (y)

I had assumed that this was a joke, surely this can't be genuine?

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Well, that pretty much sums it up, doesn't it.

Apparently Newsweek feels the rest of the world should be informed that "we" are "losing" Afghanistan, while in the US, they probably assume we already know that?:confused:

Another slow news day, evidently.

P.S. Anybody notice that the price for a barrel of oil dipped below $60 this week, for the first time in like 7 months? Or that the gas prices have dropped anywhere from $.60 to $1.00 per gallon recently? Don't see a bunch of trumpeting of that to the heavens like you did when the prices went up, do ya?

[Echewta]

Gas going down? No big deal. Happy news? No thanks.

PRICE GOING UP? MY GOD!

Sorry to shine a ray of hope into the otherwise gloomy outlook pervasive on these boards....


And now back to our regular programming....
