...just a follow up to the story we posted concerning the US Magazine cover featuring Sarah Palin with the "Babies, Lies, and Scandal" headline (see "US?" Biased? Not "US!").

It seems that we were not the only ones outranged over this blatantly biased hatchet job.

Thousands of disgruntled readers are expressing their outrage on US Magazine's website, not to mention flooding the phones of the so-called "subscription hotline" in an effort to cancel their subscriptions. Nice.

"I'm hearing it's 5,000, maybe more," says one source in the industry. Another source claimed that as many as 10,000 readers have already cancelled their subscriptions. Very Nice.

And these numbers were breaking only a day or two after the story first broke and grabbed America's attention; those numbers could have grown exponentially by now. Very, very nice.

One US advertiser has admitted that they've received calls from angry former subscribers threatening to boycott their products.  

We thought we would pass along a short list of some of the major advertisers supporting US Magazine; perhaps you'll think twice before buying that next Toyota and shopping at Target.

I opine that to receive the loans from creditors you must present a great motivation. Nevertheless, one time I have got a car loan, just because I wanted to buy a bike.

Different people all over the world get the loan in different creditors, because that's comfortable.
