New Yorker cover: Satirical or tasteless?
A satire of the campaign of misinformation about Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama's religious and political views, or a sensationalized and offensive depiction of the Christian senator and his wife? You decide. Post your comments below.
Story on the New Yorker cover here. More on Obama's relationship with the Muslim community here.







If you have to even ask, then newspapers are in worse shape than anyone could imagine.
BTW, there's an incredibly good story about Obama in that issue that's required reading for politicos.

I found it a bit off given there was no explanation (which brings readers in). Must we really resort to such things to sell magazines though?
There are some strong opinions out there however: http://smashgods.com/2008/07/14/the-obama-cover-come-on-dont-you-get-it/
Some good points...
