If you still have any doubts about the degree the U.S. corporate media will go to protect the Bush administration, especially in this pre election period, check out these four Newsweek covers (from Rising Hegemon) each from this weeks edition, depending on where they will be seen.
The top three - which focus on our losing battle in Afghanistan - were distributed in Europe, Asia and Latin America. The bottom cover - which focuses on photographer Annie Liebowitz and her children - is for the U.S.
I'm not certain whether the Newsweek editors are consciously trying to protect the Dick and the Bush or whether they just don't trust Americans to handle a seriously critical article about the "war against terrorism." But I'm not sure it matters the effect - protecting Bush and the neo-CON fantasy from reality - is the same.
