Topic: US Weekly using bogus Palin quotes! Say it isn't so. | |
---|---|
I see the filthy libs at US Weekly are so full of hatred that they immediately took something from a joke website like the onion and ran with it as though it were real news. this goes along with my ABC post earlier this week.
Us Weekly ran a story quoting Sarah Palin demanding that Christina Aguilera be “deported” over her botched performance of the national anthem at Super Bowl XLV. The only problem: It never happened. The item “quoted” Palin trashing Aguilera as “a demanding beauty queen who’s clearly in over her head” and adding for good measure, “If I were president, I’d deport Ms. Augilera back to wherever it is she’s from and give Amy Smart a call.” The fake quotes originated from an Onion-like satirical web site, relaying a fictional radio interview between the former Governor of Alaska and Fox News host Sean Hannity. Other choice “quotes” from Palin that fooled Us Weekly included, “Here’s another case of an airhead diva going on TV, running her mouth off, sounding like a fool. She doesn’t understand something so basic about America, yet we’re supposed to tolerate her diva behavior?” and “Unemployment is at nine percent, yet we have to suffer through a performance by a foreigner with a poor grasp of the English language?” Us Weekly apologized for their mistake Thursday saying, “Oopsies...our bad!” "I had no interview with Sean [Hannity] and I have never bashed Christina," Palin told Us. "In fact, I've defended her by telling folks to back off the criticism of her mistake. I was telling my kids right after her national anthem issue blew up that people needed to lay off her mistake. And then to read to that I condemned her?" Read more: http://entertainment.blogs.foxnews.com/2011/02/11/oopsies-us-weekly-apologizes-to-sarah-palin-over-using-fake-quotes/#ixzz1DgmFbHaK |

I think you've been scammed, Bored. I Googled US Weekly and found that it is a celebrity "news"rag, much like those tabloids at the supermarket checkout lines. We all look at these things and find them amusing, but no rational person takes them seriously. the most troubling thing is that they ripped off the Onion. I don't think this is something to hyperventilate about.
I see the filthy libs Wow! pretty hot rhetoric1

I put US Weekly along side "news"week among other magazines. I have contempt for the far left in case you haven't noticed. When it comes to the right, I just don't like em. |

Its hard to take US Weekly seriously. They take pictures of famous people and make up stories around it. Just like OK magazine and other gossip publications. It makes me wish Weekly World News was still around. Atleast their stories were entertaining.
