" I've yet seen the latest cover of Newsweek. It features a photo of Alaska governor vice presidential candidates Sarah Palin and some say it is ridiculously. Unfair to her. Not that headline. The picture itself you can't really see it on this full screen but trust me you can see it here. In person if you hold -- that you by the magazine you look at it in the store and you can't really see -- trust -- joining us now to discuss the problem or is there. Republican media consultant Andrea attend her house and Juliet his tally from the women and politics institute at American University. It right there. Morning million by Andrea you're fired up about this cover again people are going to have to trust you a little bit because it's tough to see that doesn't really translate through television that tell us what's upsetting you."

" Well this cover is a clear slap in the face of -- Halen why because it's on every types. Highlights every imperfection every human being has but we're talking on one -- facial hair porous wrinkles. This is a gross slap in the face to Sarah -- after Newsweek has done so many favorable covers. Barack Obama than you can look presidential that are clearly retouched he looks flawless this is a slap in the face and the biggest reason the -- is because the title says she's one of the folks. And in parentheses it says and that's the --"

" Yeah and Julie let me ask you because she -- the covers they've got a Barack Obama we just put one up I mean come ought. They literally put a halo on the -- I eat and then look what they did governor -- listen. Any respectable magazines should be doing a little -- touching if you're gonna have the extreme close up on anybody's face -- what."

" Say you despair unfair to governor of new. -- it. I really have to face this woman is beautiful she was a beauty queen she looks beautiful on its cover I mean what I noticed about her beautiful brown eyes. You know very close up. I hear an injury is saying that but I mean the reality of this photo and what I actually like about it is. That the tilted her head shows that's really is a nice communication of the folks -- that she's brought to the campaign and I think that there's a lot of overreaction and about how she's being so."

" Now aesthetically Juliet and I asked happy get a lot of debate from from the folks that that it's gonna -- is a beautiful woman. But it no matter what a beautiful woman is when they put you up close and personal on a magazine even the most gorgeous supermodels in the world. They -- touch you to get rid of the normal flaw was that human beings hat that's what they do in the magazine business they didn't do it for governor -- Well did they do it for Barack is we know that they did it for Barack Obama and shot Barack Obama it's all -- an outlet covers -- other covers of Barack Obama we're he looks perfect Julia he -- critics see the Italian ray looks perfect -- in more than buying -- this isn't the last dying daily rate and it's got and you get upset when people thought coverage as a look like Andrea and then and other that future."

" Yeah any woman who would look at this cover or if this were me -- this review if this camera with zoom in on me right now the viewers it ain't pretty and I tell you what I'd be pretty upset to put her on -- cover any woman it sees this cover. Would be shocked and horrified she's a gorgeous woman but this is it clear slap in the face and why Julia. Because of -- title she's one of the folks and that's the problem knew we would not be in business if the folks -- don't subscribe to this magazine so to insult the folks of America and call that a problem I think in Newsweek to show -- it's an elitist liberal magazine and I cancel my subscription -- out there all you folks."

" It's not -- I letter if you -- Clinton is doing -- not -- flattering portrait on the inside of governor guy talks about how it seems sensible to aspire to surpass mediocrity. Rather than embrace and that's about the nicest thing any article I've found however they do offered counterpoint. From Karl Rove so it on the substance -- is it fair."

" Well the reality of this is that she's on the cover of the women and leadership Newsweek cover which means that she's one of the top women in leadership in the entire country and frankly you know get a close -- so you know we all haven't -- upper -- what every once in awhile you know it's just it's this is reality and there has been at the very unflattering coverage of Mark Warner of Hillary Clinton of John McCain and there have been some of Barack Obama also it's just reality and I think saying. Demanding that political figures get re touching like supermodels you on the cover of newsmagazines is going a little far I mean let's what's wrong with showing women of the ways they actually look particularly a woman is beautiful affair."

" This clear slept Juliette and I I don't agree it I think I I -- yeah I can do what I don't know the answer to whether they've. Airbrushed Brock a bomber John McCain that -- just -- you can shoot somebody can show that show a photo and waited more flattered. Or less flattering depending on. Which approximate truth Julian Andrea thanks so much while -- went out we reached out to Newsweek for comment didn't hear back from them this morning but if what we get one we will bring that to you would not to know what you think. America's Newsroom. At Fox News dot cholera in the meantime -- who's come."
