Strange bedfellows


One of presidential candidate Michele Bachmann’s major political opponents is defending her against what it says is blatant sexism on the part of Newsweek magazine.

Monday, the National Organization for Women (NOW) spoke out against Newsweek’s most recent cover, which features an extreme close-up of Michele Bachmann and the title “The Queen of Rage.”

“It’s sexist,” NOW president Terry O’Neill told TheDC. “Casting her in that expression and then adding ‘The Queen of Rage’ I think [it is]. Gloria Steinem has a very simple test: If this were done to a man or would it ever be done to a man – has it ever been done to a man? Surely this has never been done to a man.”

While some have pointed out that Newsweek has used unflattering photos of men such as Rush Limbaugh and John McCain on its cover, O’Neill says that is not the issue.

“Who has ever called a man ‘The King of Rage?’ Basically what Newsweek magazine – and this is important, what Newsweek magazine, not a blog, Newsweek magazine – what they are saying of a woman who is a serious contender for President of the United States of America…They are basically casting her as a nut job,” O’Neill said. “The ‘Queen of Rage’ is something you apply to wrestlers or somebody who is crazy. They didn’t even do this to Howard Dean when he had his famous scream.”

NewsweekFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Claims of bias:
A 2004 study by Tim Groseclose and Jeff Milyo asserted that Newsweek, along with a number of other mainstream news outlets, exhibited a "liberal bias." While liberal media watchdogs described the study as "riddled with flaws,"[26][27] their opposite numbers had similarly commented on Newsweek's alleged liberal bias.[28][29]

Newsweek's Washington Bureau Chief and later Assistant Managing Editor Evan Thomas variously acknowledged the charge saying, "I think Newsweek is a little liberal," and "there is a liberal bias at Newsweek, the magazine I work for."[30][31][32]

More recently, the magazine has begun publishing articles by conservative columnist George F. Will.

I know you're being hyperbolic, but it misses the point. It seems fairly clear that Newsweek is doing all they can to make Michelle Backman look bad, literally and figuratively. Do you disagree?

[TUSooner]

I know you're being hyperbolic, but it misses the point. It seems fairly clear that Newsweek is doing all they can to make Michelle Backman look bad, literally and figuratively. Do you disagree?

Of course subjectivity cannot be eliminated, but I think you exaggerate and are hypersensitive. Is it their job to make her look good, like on her campaign posters? Maybe that's just how she really looks? Maybe reasonable people are even permitted to think she's an unstable lunatic? Not everybody sees her like you do. And that's not bad or wrong. Methinks thou dost protest too much, like the Sooner fans who see anti-OU bias in every ESPN report.

[badger]

You know they had other pictures of her and went with the awkward one to fit the title. I'm sure they also had pics of her with her eyes closed or squinting or not looking at the camera, but I also have a feeling that they had something a little but less psycho-eye.

It's disappointing. I think that it reflects poorly on them to chose a bad photo for their cover.

BUT, we all know that sympathy isn't such a bad thing to have in the political arena and this can serve as a starting talking point when she kicks off her campaigning.

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

I know you're being hyperbolic, but it misses the point. It seems fairly clear that Newsweek is doing all they can to make Michelle Backman look bad, literally and figuratively. Do you disagree?

Actually, I do disagree. I think Bachmann is pretty good at making herself look bad. Newsweek is just shining a light on it.

[MR2-Sooner86]

Is it their job to make her look good, like on her campaign posters? Maybe that's just how she really looks? Maybe reasonable people are even permitted to think she's an unstable lunatic?

Are they a news magazine or a an editorial magazine? If you can answer that, you'll get your answer.

If they're an editorial magazine, I can see where they can be biased and make her look bad. It's their job to pander to the group they're targeting.

If they're a news magazine, it is there job to make her look presentable. Why? You just show the people, "Here's Michelle Bachmann" and let them decide how they feel about her.

Think of it as senior pictures. All the kids are given the same pose, lighting, and basic photo touchups. It doesn't matter if one kid was fat with no friends while the other was a jock who was popular, they're all treated the same when they go up on the wall.

Is it alright to put a white light behind the "good girl" or make the picture super dark for the "weird metal head?" No, and it's the same with the news. What they did is let their opinion of her show. As I said, taking her pose and facial expression out of the equation, it's a bad photo. The lighting on it was bad, they had the camera too low, and it's as if they got the jump on her with the pose.

Now as for the "maybe she looks like that" argument.

[Ton Loc]

I thought NewsWeek and Entertainment Weekly were the same thing.

Either way, Bachman is nuts before you even look at her politics.

I hope she sticks it out for awhile. I would enjoy a Bachman-Palin debate. Just for SNL Parody purposes.

[NormanPride]

She's creepy, can't smile, and has 80's hair. All you white knights are pathetic.

Oh, and Newsweek. LOL.

[TUSooner]

My "defense" of Newsweek does have its limits, but I just can't get all that indignant over its treatment of Bachman. So they editorialized a little? Big effing deal; the overt (as in not sneaky and hidden) point of their story was that she's the "queen of rage"! Spare me the violins, and get over it.

Isn’t it interesting that to go with a profile titled “The Queen of Rage,” Newsweek couldn’t find a single photo of Bachmann expressing said rage? In four of the nine shots, she’s smiling. In three she has a slight grin, and in the remaining two she has no expression. Some Queen of Rage she is.

Well if they truly want to follow the Founding Fathers that means they have to get rid of the amendments that were later added. I think that's the thing that turns me off is that they really have no real clear message. They are just pissed off and in the last election they completely misread why they were elected. They weren't there to help lose the our AAA Credit Rating they were sent to send a message to the remaining pubs and dems that they had better get off their asses and help straighten out this Country. Now it's just turned into dividing our Country even further.

They should be ashamed as they have grasped onto making sure they take control instead of really help the US put itself on the right track of strengthening our economy and reminding Terrorist who the boss is and that we will continue to come after them no matter the cost.

The Amendments to our Constitution are things that needed to change and it's possible there could be more in the future. Unfortunately like I said they are a mixed bag of folks and it just seems like they have no clear message it's mostly just a huge pish posh mess and they seem angry that other people might have different views on how to live their lives.

I don't think most Blacks would enjoy the ideas of becoming slaves.

I don't think most Indians would like the idea of having open season on them either.

Exactly and some of you can deny that that's not a Tea Party Agenda but I know for a fact from the email / spamming campaigns I've seen over the last few years that there are some that feel it should be debated again once the Tea Party gets things straightened out. Again there is no clear message as to have one would lose them votes with the Ultra Conservatives that blindly support them.

[En_Fuego]

The Tea Party folks are the only politicians who are representing what the majority of Americans want to happen in this country and the economy.

Get over it!

OMG are you serious ?

I put the Tea Party on par with the idiots of the Westboro Baptist Church.

Obama is a joke. But McCain-Palin would have been much worse.

So if the Teabaggers want the original Constitution does that mean women don't have the right to vote?

Nothing has been perfect in politics for a long time but this climate shows just how screwed up if we allow a bunch of newbs in Congress to have their way all we get is confusion and gridlock. Now...I'm not sure that's a bad thing except that one bunch of Newbs didn't follow old party lines and they decided that what the American People wanted was to make the current President show us a Birth Certificate, prove he was Christian, Admit he's not a military genius yet after 11 years the #1 Most Wanted Man in the World was captured and disposed of so there would be no place but their minds to martyr him, and then after he somehow kept all of our 401ks from becoming a worthless and useless retirement tool they have now not only stonewalled normal changes made by every sitting President we have had and helped to achieve us the first downgrade from AAA that we have ever had and then tried to take no blame in any of it.

The POTUS asked for a small 3% raise in he tax rates for the rich and you would think he asked them to give some of their personal wealth to help the Soviets build WMDs or help feed the starving Chinese Population. He asked them to help the American People in feeding this out of control Monster and instead got them to support Zero help and really Zero cuts to put a stop to the very problems they stated we must do something about.

It was a huge bunch of Cowboys sitting around a campfire eating beans and seeing who could make the campfire glow brighter with their butt stink.

Amazing.

Unfortunately, most blacks (as seen from election polling) are very happy to be slaves of the state and the Demoncratic Party.
:(
(But, I guess that is their "choice". Like aborting most of their children.)

That may be the most stupidly offensive thing you've ever said.

Let me tell you about my big brother, Sam. Uncle Sam, my kids call him. Figuring all taxes total, I'm spending over 50% of my income to help support him. Even with all the money I give him, he keeps coming back and asking for more money for yet another doomed-to-fail scheme. So this latest phone call came in. "Oh my god I need to 'borrow' more money or these guys are going to break my legs."

Man, how many times have we been here before. All he's going to do is **** away that money like he's pissed away every other penny we've given him.

So no, he doesn't get any more money. He needs to get his **** together and start making better decisions with his money.

Stop trying to support all these baby mammas that keep getting knocked up and then come crying to him for support.

Stop starting **** across the street and in other towns, because those "little" wars are expensive and I'm pretty sure they're a big part of the reason he's here again, hat in hand, wanting another wad of cash.

Because me and the other people who are already giving up half our income to support him could give up 100% of our money to support him and it wouldn't fix the problem.

My big brother, as much as I love him, has to learn to live within his means. And it probably means some hard times for me and for everyone else that supports him and especially for those who've grown crippled by the habit of living off of him.

But I'm not real worried, because I wasn't born with the resources that he keeps coming to me begging to have just a little bit more of. I figured out how to get there once, I'll do it again.

Because my big brother isn't too big to fail, nothing is, and if we keep doling out cash to him trying to cover up for his stupid decisions his fall is going to be oh so much worse than if we draw the line now.

So either the Tea Partiers are really, really smart or Obama is a terrible leader or a combination of the two. Which do you think it is?

Oh and by the way.. Never, NEVER try to feed an "out of control monster". Shoot the ****er with a tranquilzer dart and put him in his cage.
