Consumer Groups Criticize Newsweek for Transgressing Ethical
Bounds by Working with the Pharmaceutical Drug Lobby
Drug Lobby's Exclusive Sponsorship of Newsweek's Special Health Edition and
Other Joint Efforts Improperly Aided Drug Lobby's Agenda, Groups Claim
Washington D.C. - Five national consumer organizations today charged Newsweek magazine with transgressing ethical bounds by working with the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) in a way that promotes the drug lobby's public policy agenda. In a joint letter to Newsweek Chairman and Editor-in-Chief Richard M. Smith, the groups contended that, as a result of a "virtually unprecedented" special advertising relationship with the drug lobby, Newsweek allowed the drug lobby to use a supposedly independent media outlet "to promote its public policy agenda."

Newsweek on Oprah: Pot calling the kettle black when it comes to bioidentical hormones? Dr. Mitchell Matez, D.O. Sanctuary Medical Aesthetic Center, Boca Raton

You Go, Oprah! by Jeanne Supin , But the real secret is Oprah remains steadfastly relevant, and Newsweek does not. Unfortunately at a time when we most benefit from national dialog, Newsweek chooses to be a gasping periodical in a dying industry, regurgitating the same empty story week-after-week, with writers and editors -- no matter how skilled and well-intentioned -- increasingly talking only to the shrinking pool of people just like themselves. ..There's a whole new world out here, far larger than Newsweek's antiquated universe. Maybe if they took some bioidentical hormones they'd finally feel well enough to find it, join it, and share that story.

Two Scariest Women on the Planet - Oprah and Suzanne by Suzanne Somers 6/4/2009 Have you seen this week's Newsweek magazine? Here we go again! They have a new article on how Oprah is giving "dangerous" advice by having uninformed guests give false information to the public. First of all, how dare they alter Oprah's image for that cover! It's out of focus, and they have obviously added bags and shadowing under her eyes to make her look crazed and scary.
