FOG OF WAR!!!Why does NEWSWEEK think AMERICANS are stupid?
Click on the link to Newsweeks international webpage.

Scroll down the page to the cover which doesn’t match the others. That’s the one for Newsweek’s American edition.
Each has a dramatic shot of a Taliban fighter shouldering an RPG (rocket-propelled grenade). The cover headline is: “Losing Afghanistan,” pointing to a devastating piece on our Afghan War by Ron Moreau, Sami Yousafzai, and Michael Hirsh, “The Rise of Jihadistan.”
The American edition Instead, has a photo of an ash-blond woman with three young children dressed in white, one in her arms, and the headline: “My Life in Pictures.” The woman turns out to be Annie Liebovitz, photographer of the stars, and the story by Cathleen McGuigan.
What do you think?
Thanks for the link; the contrast in coverage between international and US versions is often jarring, and this is a very excellent example.
It can’t be claimed that the difference in covers is because people in the US are not interested in the Taliban right now! The US media slants to the right on the whole. This is why when I hear conservatives decry the “left wing” MSM, I shudder.

RLP — yeah, sure, “we WON” Afghanistan. Obviously, you create your own reality.
