- PityDaFool, on 07/13/2009, -9/+795Wow, that does suck. You'd think Newsweek could afford less pixelated covers.
- eastwood24, on 07/13/2009, -8/+613"Most ignorance is vincible ignorance. We don't know because we don't want to know.”
- Adlous Huxley - TJ11240, on 07/13/2009, -4/+559It got this way for a reason. Demand better journalism from the media.
- inactive, on 07/13/2009, -9/+283after years and years of people in this country only caring about trivial, superficial ***** what do you expect newsweek to put on the cover? lets not forget that first and foremost, any major publication is a business whose main concern is to sell product. print journalism is dead. the people that still buy print media are the same people that dont really give a ***** about "real" news anyway. they are the old, the uninformed, the people that dont care about the world. newsweek is just playing to its audience. any one really concerned with afghanistan (and not just mindless flagwavers) get the news from other sources and have given up on mainstream publications. its not sad, its a sign of the times. those that want to be informed are still informed. those that want to be entertained are being entertained. at least all of us here are smart enough to hop online and get our news from sources that dont pimp out their magazine using celebrity gossip.
- unhookt, on 07/13/2009, -11/+215The latin american edition is in english?
- ophello, on 07/13/2009, -12/+207So...do we have any proof these are from the same week or are we just going to offhandedly believe some poor-quality image?
- davidjunit, on 07/13/2009, -10/+194Ooooh ooooh, I'm hoping they do a big Jon & Kate + 8 story!!@#!@# NOT
- koinek, on 07/13/2009, -4/+177"Obviously, they know what sells overseas."
Actual news analysis instead of celebri-trash? - AmyVernon, on 07/13/2009, -7/+116Actually, it's not so much American media that's at fault here. Newsweek is an American magazine, no matter where it's being sold. It's a matter of what magazines Americans will actually buy. Newsweek would have put Afghanistan on the cover if people would buy it. That's not to say they shouldn't put the real news on the cover, but if no one's gonna buy the magazine, who's gonna read the Afghanistan article anyhow? (That's not to say I don't think they should have put Afghanistan on the cover anyhow, but still...)
- Zomgondo, on 07/13/2009, -6/+103Buried to close the time warp between Oct. 2006 and right now.
- Bermygoon, on 07/13/2009, -1/+98the second one
- thebigredcat, on 07/13/2009, -1/+87More like supply and demand . . . Americans want schlock so that is what we get.
- ayeroxor, on 07/13/2009, -5/+88Nope. It's because we all hate you personally.
- varun1s, on 07/13/2009, -11/+88Corporate journalism is dead.
- CSheikh, on 07/13/2009, -14/+78Wow people, this is from 2006. Way to be on top of things.
Buried. - idbjoshm, on 07/13/2009, -57/+119...........................................________

We are the laughing stock of the world. Could someone get News Week's response/excuse? Is there a journalist left n the country?! Hello. (I still love Annie, but she is not a cover story, she's art/celebrity.)
- meninostongue, on 07/13/2009, -25/+80If this were real, why would they all be in English? I could see it being the same image, but why wouldn't Latin America have the text in Spanish?
- CSheikh, on 07/13/2009, -1/+54Considering it is from 2006 they would put Bush, not Obama on the cover.
- TNicholson, on 07/13/2009, -2/+51It wasn't bad enough that this has been on Digg a dozen times already... so you just had to go and make the picture extra low-rez and add some ***** text. Thanks LtGenPanda; great find!
- bananacannon, on 07/13/2009, -2/+51Sorry buddy; its true... same for Time too:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/eat-the-press/2007/0 ... - kentifer, on 07/13/2009, -3/+52http://www.newsweek.com/id/198886
You raise a good question. - WaCkYmAk, on 07/13/2009, -3/+48*Aldous Huxley
- jisrael, on 07/14/2009, -4/+48Actually, if you're wondering why this is, why don't you look at the top stories on digg:
Pictures of a bubble popping!
Legalize Marijuana(always there)
OMG U FAIL SO HARD
a picture from flickr of "I NUT SEMEN"
Identify yourself! Wait... you're a cardboard cutout
You people are the editors now. you decide what goes on the cover
and from the looks of it, you've picked the same stupid *****. Nice work. - shark72, on 07/13/2009, -0/+38Newsweek publishes an English-language version in the Asia market. This is a fact.
I'm not sure what the problem is here. Are you disputing this fact, or are you dismayed at Newsweek for their choice to do so? - surindravg, on 07/13/2009, -2/+40Digg (full of cats, pedobear, ascii figures, and most importantly bacon) is more informative than the leading news sources, like CNN for example, which had 24/7 coverage on Micheal Jackson for four days straight.
- insertAliasHere, on 07/13/2009, -3/+40I know I do.
Mostly because you are an insane conspiracy nut, including being a "truther" and a moon landing denier. - Sybaek, on 07/13/2009, -9/+45Because English is generally accepted as a worldwide language. Same reason USA Today is sold worldwide in english. Many people read Newsweek in foreign countries in english because they want to read the American journalism from an American point of view. You print different versions because some content is not acceptable or relevant in other locales.
- Jones82, on 07/13/2009, -3/+38wait, are NOT jokes funny again?
- Tenareth, on 07/13/2009, -1/+34Newsweek isn't alone... most of the periodicals are like this, Time had a similar difference a few months ago. Fact is, Americans don't want "sad" news, they have buried their head in the sand and don't want to know what is going on.
It's why I spend a lot of time monitoring/reading non-American news, it usually has a LOT more information about the US than anything in the US. - insertAliasHere, on 07/13/2009, -3/+35No, it's really just you.
- Gndoab, on 07/13/2009, -15/+47shhh...just start bashing the US along with all the other trolls
and P.S. I'm pretty sure that "asia" isn't a country, nor is "europe", or "Latin america"
What specific countries is it run like that in? - Paranor01, on 07/13/2009, -6/+37political troll tool
- motty32, on 07/13/2009, -2/+32who the ***** are jon and kate
- nepidae, on 07/13/2009, -1/+29this suit is blacknot
- Swivelstick, on 07/13/2009, -2/+30Actually corporations killed journalism.
- rocknog, on 07/13/2009, -6/+33Truther, moon landing denier, evolution denier... Really, you're just a small step away from running around claiming we're all trapped in the Matrix.
- WaCkYmAk, on 07/13/2009, -0/+24nevertheless, props on the quote.
- richmomz, on 07/13/2009, -3/+24And if you're wondering what that reason is, see the other Digg story that hit the front page today about the Washington Post selling media access to the highest bidder (currently around $250,000 a pop to "shape" daily media coverage to suit your personal/corporate needs).
- peestandingup, on 07/13/2009, -0/+20Doesn't matter. Unfortunately, stupid is the majority. Just look what television has turned into.
- WELLDOITLIVE, on 07/14/2009, -3/+22Boy are you retarded
- IphtashuFitz, on 07/13/2009, -3/+22That image is so blurry you can't even read anything other than the Newsweek banner and the main headline. What date are these covers (supposedly) from? Rather than blindly follow the masses who claim that this is accurate I'd really like to verify it myself. Anybody know the date of these covers?
- eastwood24, on 07/13/2009, -0/+18I knew that was coming eventually.
- bananacannon, on 07/13/2009, -0/+17Its printed in four International areas in English (those stated) and in 12 global versions in the host countries own language.
Not a problem...
As for whether they did do it, will the International Herald Tribune do?

Time did it as well:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/eat-the-press/2007/0 ...
You're welcome - joe122370, on 07/13/2009, -3/+20and the US version is in Spanish
- AmazingA, on 07/13/2009, -0/+17Also, are those the only 4 versions or were there several other countries that got non-Afghanistan covers?
- ramiro, on 07/13/2009, -0/+17It is a hand holding a big slab of cheese.
- sgtbutterscotch, on 07/14/2009, -1/+18Also because you don't get jokes. You think he really meant we really hate you personally?
- inactive, on 07/13/2009, -5/+22here are the ACTUAL covers from this week
http://www.newsweek.com/id/198886 - Jesse, on 07/14/2009, -1/+16*****, Digg is whatever the community decides it will be. If the community wanted a competitive news outlet, it'd have more highbrow stories. There's nothing about Digg being a "website" that doesn't mean it can't do things the smarter way. There's thousands of websites which are evidence to the contrary, which aren't "media outlets".
That it mostly has stupid ***** means exactly what jisrael suggests, the majority promote dumb ***** because that's what they want. -
