Women canceling subscriptions to Us Magazine

From LadyBlog

Hell hath no fury like that of a bunch of insulted, pissed off women. US Magazine’s Palin smear campaign has backfired and led to thousands of subscription cancellations (between 3,000 and 10,000 depending which report you read), and they are reeling from it.

Welcome to the 21st Century, US, where print is dying a little more every day, and a gossip rag cannot afford to alienate housewives, mothers and strong women.

Hazlett is hearing that the editorial board of “Us Weekly” had thought they pegged it right that media pressure and attacks would see Palin pulled from the McCain ticket even before her debut speech. Because the media had so quickly swarmed to destroy her, they thought she was toast before she even had the chance to accept the nomination.

If this is the fruit of Obama's culture of love and unity, women are going to have a hard time swallowing the koolaid.
