Newsweek Questionable Cover Choice

So, while I am always dubious of conspiracy claims, as a Communication student, akin to a journalist student but in a much broader sense, this is more in line with reality than many people, including skeptics, realize or like to admit. While I do not know the specifics of this example, I will say I question why this apparent choice was made. Now, is this same article in the US version? Maybe. (I would hope so.) Whether this is the "evil" US government trying to keep its people ignorant, or a business choice by Newsweek to keep its profits up, it is a disturbing trend that should be openly discussed... if you can get enough Americans interested. It has been my experience during class that the exploitative nature of capitalism in America is sickening yet the one thing more so is what sometimes appears as the apparent complacency of the American public. That is to say, Americans would rather keep read the human interest story than the more dire implications of the failed handling of the Afghanistan war. How very sad indeed...
