Newsweek Protects American Readers From George Clooney Interview
There is a war on -- a war for the hearts and minds of Americans. Newsweek is constantly protecting innocent Americans from the stories they can't handle. Is the world melting? Did the White House betray a deal with North Korea? Did we lose that war in Afghanistan , too? That's for Newsweek's international readers to know and for you to not find out. Sorry, dummies!
This week, American readers get a lovely cover story on those little-known avant-garde artists Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. International readers get ... well, a cover story about European churches being turned into bars. But at least that's a good pop culture phenomenon!
Also, the international editions have an interview with George Clooney, the actor who goes around solving world problems and calling Bush a cunt. But domestic Newsweek refused to run the Clooney piece, , fearing that Americans might try to read it because it's about a movie star and then get terribly confused by the Africa/genocide stuff.
