Newsweek Calls It: "Madam President Clinton" Hits The Shelves Due To A "Business Decision"

Newsweek has decided that Clinton will win tomorrow.



This is the cover that has been sent to newsstands. It was leaked by a bookstore employee.



This is the screen capture of her Tweet before her account was deleted and someone chastising her for fueling Trump supporter hysteria.

And Newsweek did confirm that they made two versions of the cover, one for each candidate, but it was a "business decision" to print and send out the Hillary ones.


As CNN explains to its slower readers, "this is the media version of World Series keepsakes that were on sale in Cleveland and Chicago last week. Street vendors printed "Cubs win" and "Indians win" T-shirts, then trashed the Indians shirts after the Cubs won Game 7."

There is just one very notable difference: in the case of the World Series, there were two sets of shirts created. However, in the case of the infamous Newsweek special edition, the publishing company Topix, decided to print just one.

Guess which.

And this is where the "business decision" came in: according to CNN, "Topix made a business decision to only print the Clinton version ahead of time given that she is almost universally favored to win the election on Tuesday."


So basically Newsweek is so sure of a Hillary win that they didn't even bother printing two editions. They just printed and sent one for their preferred candidate.



I wonder if anyone at Newsweek remembers this part of their election history? I'm not saying it will happen because I don't know, but at this point, it would be some poetic justice.

Topix made the decision, not NewsWeek?

Oh they are so sure of themselves, this just drove up Trump's turnout.

Oh dear! How HORRIBLE it would be if they jinxed things!

Makes me wish I worked at a bookstore so I could grab one of those things if she ends up losing. It would then be a real collector's item.

Didn't Newsweek go bankrupt in 2010?

"Business" decisions haven't always worked out well for them.

This is utterly disgusting.

That enough money can be spread around to buy an Election.

You need a new Amendment to guard against the Banks. But then, you were told they were an enemy by many passed Presidents.

This is not Democracy, you all are just blinded if you can't see it.

Democracy is where the people vote. Let us see once again if the people's vote counts for anything.

Presidents who take a stand against the banks and stand with the people don't last long at all.

Except Teddy Roosevelt, only a madman would go after him.

I suspect many of the rich people who will make these decisions already know the result.

A risky gamble, but potentially very profitable.

Disgusted with our political system!

The two parties have become an enemy of the people of the US of A.



Article VI of the Constitution requires Officials to take an oath “to support this Constitution.” Today, 5 U.S.C. 3331 specifies the language of the oath for federal officials. According to this statute, officials must “solemnly swear (or affirm)” that they “will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic”

I wish it was the other way around but probably the smart play.

I heard that there is a version with Trump on the cover but it won't be available until November 28th.

Actually Newsweek call Topix a licensee not a publisher.

But regardless...if it turns out to be wrong do you think people will know or even care about that or just not trust Newsweek as a reliable source of information and use them as the butt of endless jokes?

BTW - Does anyone know if Topix is the same company as The Daily Beast who originally bought Newsweek when it was hemorrhaging readers years ago? Or did they or simply Newsweek alone get purchased by Topix?

ETA - Just discovered that Topix is a Newsweek licensee not Newsweek's publisher

An intelligent person would not blame Newsweek for a decision made by the publishing company.

Edit:

It appears they hold the license to publish Newsweek.
