The other day I noted that Newsweek was bold enough to label Afghanistan “Jihadistan” in its international edition. Raw Story notes that Newsweek isn’t using the same bold style for the US edition, though:
The cover of International editions, aimed at Europe, Asia, and Latin America, displays in large letters the title “LOSING AFGHANISTAN,” along with an arresting photograph of an armed jihadi.
The cover of the United States edition, in contrast, is dedicated to celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz and is demurely captioned “My Life in Pictures.”
