As we pointed out last weekend, with several days to go before the presidential election on November 8th, bookstores around the country started receiving a curious commemorative edition of Newsweek with their chosen candidate on the cover. As Infowars reported, the magazines went viral when a Twitter user, who works at one of those bookstores, tweeted the images with the comment, “I work at a bookstore and we typically get magazines early and lookie what we got here.”
While Newsweek later explained that they had created 2 versions of the magazine with Trump and Hillary on the cover, apparently they made a "business decision" to only print the "Madam President" version.

Now, you too can own your very on own piece of the mainstream media's arrogance courtesy of numerous Ebay auctions looking to fetch a couple hundred dollars for the ill-advised magazines. Somehow we suspect these "collectors editions" will end up as stocking stuffers for many Hillary supporters this holiday season.
And while this is certainly embarrassing for Newsweek, it's not the first time the arrogant mainstream media got caught off guard.
