Former Alaska Governor, Sarah Palin and Newsweek have fought a war of words over the magazine’s front cover controversial image choice of Palin. Interestingly, the battlefield was their Facebook fan page. Here’s a citation from Palin’s fan page:
“The choice of photo for the cover of this week’s Newsweek is unfortunate. When it comes to Sarah Palin, this “news” magazine has relished focusing on the irrelevant rather than the relevant. The Runner’s World magazine one-page profile for which this photo was taken was all about health and fitness – a subject to which I am devoted and which is critically important to this nation. The out-of-context Newsweek approach is sexist and oh-so-expected by now. If anyone can learn anything from it: it shows why you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, gender, or color of skin. The media will do anything to draw attention – even if out of context.”

Both Newsweek and Palin observed jerks over the past two weeks but Social Media analysts believe the significant increase in Newsweek’s fan base is due to the controversy.
Recently, Sarah Palin’s new book, Going Rogue was launched and she is using the book and its associated tour to increase her number of supporters on Facebook.
