US Weekly is owned by a know Obama campaign contributor, so it will obviously have an agenda to promote. That is just plain sickening though, since there are no lies and no scandal. Palin has put her life out there for the world to see, with nothing to hide, and yet this stuff is continued to come out of nowhere, no doubt made up by the Left.

Does anyone expect any different from the media? They have worshiped the ground Obama's walked on since he first appeared on the scene.
I think it is great though. Lately they've been comparing the "future president", Obama, to the "future vice-president", Palin. Barack Obama isn't running for Vice- President, but he is being forced to try to prove he is even as qualified as she is(which he is not successfully managing to do!).
The Obama Campaign would do well to ignore comparisons between Palin and Obama and force comparisons of himself and McCain. Oh wait, McCain blows him right out of the water, doesn't he?
It's so great! Hahahahaha!

No matters how bad the liberal media wants Obama elected, we the poeple can see the lack of caracter in the man, especially when compared with Sarah (Wonder Woman) Palin.
A real American Hero ticket.

At what point do these media people cross the line of election tampering. It's obvious that they favor Barak but is it legal for them to go as far as they have? Knowingly printing false or misleading information with the intent to sway voters has got to be illegal. This isn't just your usual tabloid stuff.
And aren't they violating campaign contribution laws. The value of their celebrity endorsements of Obama and criticisms of Palin have to be worth $billions when you add them all up. Yet the law limits individual contributions to $2300 per person.

I think the 99% of liberal media needs to get over themselves. They dont have anything intelligent, inspiring, or positive to say about their own Democratic leader so they have to dig for anything they can find on their opposing party. Frankly I think it just goes to show the American people just how immature and unready the liberals are to run a country. How can one run a country if they cant take any responsibility or stand behind their own values morals or beliefs. We need a President who will make a statement and stand behind it no matter what the poles say because that represents true character and it lets people know that our leader knows who he is and can make mature rational decisions. They will be decisions that will benefit America even if people dont see it that way in the beginning. We dont need someone to fanstize reality by promising hope and change because that's not the real world. Promise are made to be broken, change can only happen if you let it, and hope can only come from within. One man cant not instill these things in every American, its unrealistic.
And the fact that Palin's daugther is pregnant is great.

I'll admit to my guilty pleasure of reading these gossip mags...not this one anymore. It is disgusting how biased the media is and worse how easily targeted and gullable the left supporters really are. It is frightening that they don't see that this is a blatant bias. Obama as a person seems like a nice man, but as a potential leader of our country scared me to death. Sarah is an amazing person, mother and governor. She will be an amazing VP. Seems to me the left is shaking in their boots

What a bunch of cynical hypocrits we have for a media in this country. Just because the woman that could break through the glass ceiling is not a flaming progressive, pant suit wearing, infanticide promoting, attorney the left wing media has to attack her. News for you folks!! Watch out. She is one of us. She is mainstream and you talking heads are stepping on the people that actually live and die the American life. Why do you libs hate America so much?

I hate to say it buy 90% of the reporters and news organizations are in bed with Obama. Palin has had more coverage about her family, friends, and decisions in one week than Obama has had about his minister, his terrorist friend, and his convicted mobster friend who he gave 14M of the tax payer money to build affordable housing for the poor of chicago which now is condemend and no one can live in.
If Palin was a man they would never have questioned if she would have time to be VP with 5 children and one being a child of special needs. This was raised by a CNN reporter.
Most who post here are nuts but there are a few of you with sense. I don’t care what party you are from lets debate the issues.

Hello us,
I had no idea you were such a trashy magazine. I'm sure that's why I don't read it and never will. You just showed yourself!!! Not good for business. Don't you know 85% of this country is Conservitive? The liberal media knows we are a sleeping giant and when they get us riled up we come out strong. BIG MISTAKE!!!! BUT KEEP IT UP!!!! WE WILL SURELY HAVE OUR GUY AND GAL IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

The Liberal Media outlets politically assassinated Hillary Clinton when she was running for President.
IT'S NO SURPRISE!
The attacks on Sarah Palin are really hateful and vicious.
On behalf of his two daughters, Barack Obama should come to the 100% defense of any woman who runs for office and gets trashed being a woman & proud mother.

The funny thing is that the media, especially the Hollywood tabloids, have been telling us for years that it's OK for 16 year-old Johnny to get a sex change operation, and for 14 year-old Sally to get an abortion even without parental permission, but now they expect us to be shocked, absolutely SHOCKED!!!, that a 17 year old girl is pregnant. The ironic thing is, that if she had an abortion, as the demoncrat cheerleaders promote, we'd never even have known about it. God bless her for doing the right thing and keeping that precious baby. As the bumper sticker says, "Your Mother Was Pro-Life"

We can hit these liberal whiners right where it will cause the most pain - in their bank accounts. They moan and groan about "rich Republicans" - all the while, enjoying the fruits of their hypocrisy. We can, collectively, demonstrate one simple act: don't buy what they are hocking (their magazines, their movies, and their music). We have the power as consumers to make those choices that reflect our values and ideals. As for Jann Wenner (co-founder and publisher of US WEEKLY, Rolling Stone Mag) - he has no shame. You reap what you sow!

Someday all this stuff is going to come back and haunt the media. We could end up with a government so corrupt that we become completely broken as a country hemoraging funds we can not afford to loose. We could blame ourselves as Americans because we keep putting them into office and believe the lies spun to us by the media. I have no love for either party right now, or the media. I am a bit mad about it all. All I want to see is someone have a bit of courage and stand against corruption on the Senate floor and within our state governments. I live in Montana and totally relate to this woman she lives where I live and I am truly excited for once. Tired of promises and empty speeches, its an insult to think all the pretty words and slick magazine covers will sway me one way or the other. Maybe instead of these slick magazine cover people we could have someone from the grass roots who eats moose stew, I eat elk stew..Why don't we just let her tell us about herself....you go Sarah!!

I'm floored at the media, they have their own agenda and don't give a damn about America and what she needs for leadership. I applaud Sarah and her wonderful family and hope that she and them stay strong and knows that there's wonderful AMERICANS out there that love and support her and her family. I'm a woman who works and has a family, I also have a daughter who gave birth at 17 and like her I loved and supported her through the whole thing because that's what family does for each other. I pray that Sarah tells the media to back off her family tonight during her speech. GO MCCAIN/PALIN

The media is far too liberal and has always been bias in their reporting. I believe America needs McCain and Palin. The attacks on Sarah Palin's family must end. Look at what can be accomplished with these two in charge of our country. I served my country for 21 years in the USAF and I've served under several Democrats and America always went down in values, morals and life style. We need John McCain and we really need Sarah Palin.

The media has gone to a new low. How dare they exploit this young girl, they have no idea or most likely don't care how this kind of attack will affect her life. She made a mistake and now she's making the right "choice," pro-life! I wonder why the media doesn't run with that one. Let those who have done no wrong cast the first stone. I don't understand why we can't even say Barack Obama's middle name and not speak of his possible ties with the Muslim religion but yet they are attempting to distroy Gov. Palin by humiliating her child and definetly going into an area that not only has nothing to do with her qualifications to be Vice President but is also a personal matter that is none of their business. I'm glad we Republicans know how to take the high road. This should certainly show the lack of integrity some of our media and how biast they are.

I agree with Ginger (msg 3): the more they trash her, the more I like her. And the harder I will work to get her and Senator McCain (who I wasn't overly thrilled with due to some of his liberal leanings) elected! I'm ordering bumper stickers and yard signs and will volunteer to drive people to the polls on election day.

I am so very tired of the media having such biased control of public opinion. They try very hard to persuade us to think a certain way. To make us think that we are a country headed for nothing but a negative and yes, even detrimental path. Negativity sells. It's all about the money!!! It's so refreshing to see that there is actually someone in our great country that will go against the grain and seek a better tomorrow for us. Someone with proven backbone. If Sarah Palin were running for president against Obama I would vote for her over him based on her experience and accomplishments alone. She will make a great President some day, I'm sure!! I am neither a Republican or Democrat, just an American looking for a positive tomorrow.

I was never a Hillary fan, but I did watch and realize how the media treated her. Now, they (the media) are acting like a bunch of uneducated losers. My seventh grader could do a better job reporting than the worthless stuff they are printing. I knew I liked Sarah the first day I saw her, and every day I come to realize how much of a true american she is. As a working, pro-life, mother, I respect her more every day! A true american hero! Obama is scared of the girl who was not born and bred to be a president and she is taking the country by storm! Working class americans are loving her!!!

Ooooo, that might be a bit of a low blow #29. It's an emotional time right now - especially for what is clearly a losing battle for the dems and their media buddies. Let's not stoop to their level. Let's stay focused and stick to what's important and that's supporting a clearly excellent choice in a VP. If there's one thing you can count on it's you can't escape the stench of garbage it'll be apparent to everyone!

I must say - I'm a democrat and I'm growing tired of the smearing of Palin. This is just going overboard. Let's stick to the issues and keep focused on the trouble that face AMERICA'S MILLIONS OF OTHER FAMILIES (not just Palin's family)!
If she is such a pathetic VP pick, why are we so threatened by her? Why don't we focus on going toe-to-toe over the issues and our ideas - instead of her personal life!??!?!
Sorry, Obama, but you're not the real deal. You had me all through the summer and all through last week. But now I'd rather vote for McCain or for nobody... just so we can actually have a worthy Democratic nominee in 2012!

If she isn't qualified and is as horrible as the Dem's say she is, why are they so fired up about her? If she isn't a threat, then why all the effort in tearing her down? Shouldn't they have just shrugged their shoulders and said "bring it on" if they thought so little of her? Their response proves how afraid of her they are. They know she is a threat and rightly so!

I will not read nor buy US magazine ever again, but that is beside the point. Any fool can see that something has got the liberal media running scared. I am happy that McCain picked Palin since it seems to have infuriated the old school press and politicians that they have to stoop so low. Count me in for Palin and I was thinking of not even voting since McCain did nothing for me as a candidate. But now I will definitely get out and stump for them.

I have subscribed to their magazine for years and I had seen the obvious bias (anyone see the half page about Obama's half brother and Cindy McCain's half siblings- his brother living in the shack is not bad but Cindy is evil according to them) but I was prepared to let it go, they don't influence me- I just like the fashions. Well not anymore...wrote them today- CANCEL it, send me a refund for the remaining issues. I told them their irresponsible bad reporting on Sarah Palin is to blame.
