Newsweek put U.S. flag in trash on foreign cover

With Newsweek still reeling from its forced retraction of the Quran-in-the-toilet story, the magazine is now under fire for publishing what some see as staunchly anti-American covers in foreign editions.

International edition of Feb. 2 Newsweek

For instance, while a Japanese edition of Newsweek dated Feb. 2 published a cover story featuring an American flag in a trash can under the headline, "The day America died," and the international edition featured a photo of President Bush with the headline, "America Leads ... But Is Anyone Following?," the U.S. edition cover story was an "Oscar Confidential" featuring Hilary Swank, Jamie Foxx and Leonardo DiCaprio.


The cover story in the foreign editions, titled, "Dream on, America," about what Newsweek characterized as "the world's rejection of the American way of life," did not run in the U.S. edition of the magazine.

Japanese edition of Feb. 2 Newsweek

The Japanese edition of the magazine is raising the ire of bloggers for its illustration of a dirtied American flag, its staff broken and discarded in a trash can.

"I think they have crossed the line into outright treason," wrote one blogger yesterday. "It's time to see some of these enemy propagandists hanging from the end of a rope."

U.S. edition of Feb. 2 Newsweek

Some Newsweek international readers noticed that the story didn't run in the U.S.

"Why didn't this fine story run in my U.S. edition?" wrote one letter writer in the March 14 edition.

The Japanese cover story was noted on the blogsite Riding Sun, produced by "a New Yorker living in Tokyo."

"Newsweek's false, retracted story about American guards flushing the Quran down a toilet at Guantanamo doesn't necessarily mean the magazine's staff hates America or Bush, or wants us to lose in Iraq," wrote Rising Sun. "To be charitable, let's just chalk that one up to sloppy journalism. But I'm at a loss to explain this."



Both the Japanese and international editions featured cover stories by Andrew Moravcsik. But that piece did not run in the U.S. edition.

"It's one thing for Newsweek to actively promote the notion that America is a 'dead,' 'rotting' country overseas," wrote Rising Sun. "But it's quite another thing indeed to hide those efforts from its American readers. If Newsweek really think America is dead, and our flag belongs in the trash, why won't it tell us?"

You guys are right! That lousy bastard Michael Isikoff is a lying Anti-American bastard! ;)

Look at the lies he spouted about patriots Michael Moore and Bill Clinton! Cunt!:mad: ;)

More Distortions From Michael Moore
Some of the main points in ‘Fahrenheit 9/11’ really aren’t very fair at all
WEB EXCLUSIVE
By Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball
Newsweek
Updated: 6:26 p.m. ET June 30, 2004

June 30 - In his new movie, “Fahrenheit 9/11,� film-maker Michael Moore makes the eye-popping claim that Saudi Arabian interests “have given� $1.4 billion to firms connected to the family and friends of President George W. Bush. This, Moore suggests, helps explain one of the principal themes of the film: that the Bush White House has shown remarkable solicitude to the Saudi royals, even to the point of compromising the war on terror. When you and your associates get money like that, Moore says at one point in the movie, “who you gonna like? Who’s your Daddy?�

And these lies about CLINTON are outrageous!!:mad:

Meet Newsweek

Michael Isikoff, Investigative Correspondent

Michael Isikoff joined Newsweek as an investigative correspondent in June 1994. He has covered the Whitewater scandal, the Oklahoma City bombing, campaign finance abuses, presidential politics and other national issues. He has been a news analyst for MSNBC and a frequent guest on NBC's "Meet the Press," PBS's "Charlie Rose," and nationally-syndicated radio talk shows.

Isikoff's exclusive reporting on the Monica Lewinsky scandal gained him national attention in 1998, including profiles in The New York Times and The Washington Post and a guest appearance on "Late Show with David Letterman." His coverage of the events that lead to President Clinton's impeachment earned Newsweek the prestigious National Magazine Award in the Reporting category in 1999. Isikoff's reporting also won the National Headliner Award, the Edgar A. Poe Award presented by the White House Correspondents Association and the Gerald R. Ford Journalism Prize for Reporting on the Presidency.

Isikoff is the author of "Uncovering Clinton: A Reporter's Story," a book that chronicled his own reporting of the Lewinsky story and was hailed by a critic for The Washington Post-Los Angeles Times news service as "the absolutely essential narrative of the scandal with revelations that no one would have thought possible." The book was an instant New York Times bestseller.

Probably even younger...those are the only ones stupid enough you can fool. :gulp:

[magikmountn]

just another example of liberal bias in the media. it isnt hard to trace the connections with high ranking democrats and high ranking media officials. ivy league anyone? they are elitists and in bed with each other. the mainstream media helps out the democrats and tries to destroy the republicans every chance they get. the general public is too lazy to search for their own truth and believe the media is a fair unbiased news source. we get immediate reports if a soldier dies in iraq but when the children there are going to their first day of elementary school because the american soldiers built a school for them.... well ,they have an agenda that matches that of the democrats. dependence as opposed to independence. lies and deception mixed with fear and misinformation. does that not sound similar to communists? think about it. power to the govt is the key. if you are scared you that cant do it on your own then you will relinquish the power to someone who you think can. govt healthcare anyone? how long would barry bonds have to wait for surgery if he was in govt healthcare? until the public starts calling these reckless media on the game they are playing then it wont end there.

drudge is credited for breaking the lewinsky scandel:

http://www.nydailynews.com/front/story/165215p-144675c.html

Drudge's report didn't die easily because his site has been credited with breaking the sex scandal involving Lewinsky, the White House intern whose romp with then-President Bill Clinton led to his impeachment.

Isn't that the sort of thing journos are supposed to do, investigate different points of view? I can understand the flag in the trash being viewed as in poor taste but at the end of the day it's a point of view held by many people around the world. As for the other cover stories, like it or not, a lot of countries are turning away from following the US.

Saying that, Newsweek should have the balls to run the same cover stories at home.

I well traveled and I even lived in the middle east for a while. The rest of the world is enviouse at America's form of govt. and the success that has brought. What they don't like is US foriegn policy. We tend to stick our noses where it doesn't belong. They didn't like our foriegn policy before the Bush Administration and now they really hate us.

The US is put into isolation in a time where we are more dependant on foriegners. It's foriegn investors who keep our monitary system afloat by buying our treasury bonds. Look at the facts, the US dollar is weak against the other major currencies but we just hit a record trade deficite. We aren't exporting anything but we are buying imports like crazy. This means our money is hemmoraging out of the country.

If America wants to be isolationist in it's foriegn policy, it would be nice if we made things we could buy to creat jobs. We are in a horrible situation national security wise and economic wise.

I've always maintained the biggest enemy of America is Americans. Maybe getting our asses kicked will wake us up, if we are lucky enough to survive it.

America is due for a good ass kicking with an esculating war and an economic depression. I don't know how the war will go but bank failures and resulting panic are just around the corner. We are arrogant enough to think we can continue to lend and borrow like crazy with no negative impact. Well, the milk cow is drying up. The result will be a horribly inflated dollar, loan defaults and bank failures. The stock market will crash.

Shit, two of our biggest companies GM and Ford just went into junk bond status. They are broke. Partley to do with poor managment, partly to do with unions, partly do to with legal liability, partly to do with an anti-business atmosphere in a country that used to embrace it.

Free speech isn't practical in the US any more. They would be boycotted for being 'terrorists' and put out of business.

[Mr Grimsdale]

Nitro is probably sadly right on a lot of those counts, and none of it makes him unpatriotic. Parts of his first paragraph make that clear.

A kick up the arse is the best thing that can happen to any country. We all get soft and complacent otherwise.

the regulations put in place by govt (i.e.environmental) have done most of the damage. it costs so much to meet regulations that it is hard to turn a larger profit here in america than in another country for the exact same products. a great example of this to take notice of how long it has been since america has built a new oil refinery. oh those frivolous lawsuits are a bitch huh? unions do seem to hold companies hostage. with the regulations and unions we are resembling the communist and socialist european models of society.
when has a european country last been a major factor in world biz anyway? funnier still is how prominent democrats try to sell the american public on european ideas.

No, actually we have not built a refinery due mainly to the mentality of "not in my backyard" suburban America. Nobody wants to live near one of those fucking things and it's getting harder to find the acreage to build those massive complexes. This is largely the result of urban sprawl.

And when you graduate from high school in 2010 and get a job, you might thank the unions for getting you the health benefits, a 40-hour standard work week, and retirement; unless of course you intend to work at Walmart.:)

no actually it is because of the EPA regulations that we havent built a new refinery. the costs of meeting the regualtions is insane. the politcal red tape is the other main reason. i agree with you in part though. the public has been lied to enough and really believe that a refinery is soooo bad.
some of what unions have done is without a doubt good but they are still holding many companies hostage. sometimes they demand so much that it backfires on them. when they ask for more healthcare or more anything they cause companies to make tough decisions. either cut back on employees or take a loss. i have trouble deciding that myself.

wal-mart isnt so bad by the way. good benefits. you really think i can graduate by 2010? thanks. that would mean your mom and i would graduate together. i am giddy just thinking about it. maybe we could do the prom together too.
