US Magazine is practically begging its subscribers not to cancel after the fallout over their disgustingly biased cover featuring Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin.

Michelle Malkin has posted a letter US Magaine is sending to those disgruntled subscribers who no longer want anything to do with that biased political rag.

Thank you for contacting US Weekly.

We are sorry you are upset over the Governor Palin cover. We do not want to lose you as a subscriber over one article in one issue. In an effort to keep you as a subscriber, we will add five FREE issues to your subscription. Please let us know if you would like us to extend your current subscription rather than canceling our publication.

Thank you,
US Weekly

Moreover, JCPenny is also sending mail to its customers, given the backlash has now turned to advertisers who choose to place ads in such a biased publication:

JCPenney has very strict guidelines regarding advertising from running in any politically or religiously driven magazines or publications. At the time our ad was accepted and approved a different cover was approved for the magazine, however, with the political controversy US Weekly changed their cover and it was too late for us to withdraw.

We never want to cause our customer's concern and apologize for the inconvenience. We appreciate your comments and feedback.

 

We call on all Americans to take a look at our list of major US Magazine advertisers and tell those who choose to continue doing business with such a biased magazine that they have a choice: lose you as a customer or no longer be a customer of US Magazine.

America deserves better.

The name of this site is 'Stop The Attacks'. It seems that this site publicizes these attacks as much or more than any site that I've seen. What am I missing?
If we are going to stop the attacks, we need to replace them with something. I vote for intelligent discussion of the issues.
