Newsweek covers up bad news

For a couple of days now, Raw Story has been reporting that Newsweek has chosen a different cover story for it's US edition than it is using for all its international editions. I had elected not to post about this, but the more I think about it, the mose telling I think it is about what's going on with the press in this country. The cover stories are at right. Newsweek just couldn't bring itself to tell Americans the bad news that we are losing the Afghan war. Why is that? Are they afraid the right wing machine will smack them down? I've never seen the press as fully intimidated as they are now (nor the Democrats for that matter). We need a few people with spines to stand up and combat these creeps.
