The Queen of Rage? More Like Rage of Liberal Media Machine

Michele Bachmann is on the current cover of Newsweek, but the magazine chose to use an unflattering picture of her that should have been on the cutting room floor instead of the cover of its magazine.  The cover also includes the title “The queen of rage,” even though the word “rage” is not even included in the article.

Having covered Bachmann as she has campaigned in Iowa, I’ve never seen her look as she does on the Newsweek cover.  I’ve also looked through the hundreds of photos that TIR photographer Dave Davidson has taken of her and never seen anything that assembles what Newsweek choose to put on its cover.

It is obvious that Newsweek has a motive in using the picture it chose for its cover.  Ironically, Bachmann wore the same outfit for a Newsmax Cover shot a few weeks back.  All I can say is, what a difference the news organization makes.
