So, apparently, people still at least look at Newsweek’s cover. And some of them are pissed. Our Official Response, here.

some people think this image is degrading and sexist and everything in between. newsweek explained themselves in their response above.
my opinion: this isn’t sexist at all, maybe its the most intelligent photo of sarah palin that they could find. i mean look, shes not only holding a blackberry, she has it open as if she was/is going to in the future use it. also this is from a runing magazine. she is wearing runing attire. appropriate. the only unintelligent thing here is the fact that she is planning on running with her phone in her hands.
i mean, they could have posted these pictures instead:



Meh, on a basic level I wish they hadn’t used this photo, which was for Runner’s Magazine or something (which makes a lot more sense) just because it’s not super professional.  But I guess if the huge type on the cover is mocking her then why not the photo?  Idk.
