Unfortunate Time magazine cover of Billy Graham

<<<If it was a magazine other than Newsweek or Time, I'd wonder about intentions, but those magazines try to play it straight in their editorial decisions.>>>

You can't be serious. Don't know about Newsweek, but Time is about as slanted left as a mainstream news magazine can be. They give ultra-left columnist Joe Klein the upfront spot almost every week, and their second spot usually goes to another liberal such as Michael Knisley. Their inclusion of William Kristol or other right guys is tokenism at best.

Case in point was an issue a few months back that had Al Gore on the cover and inside just poured out hosannas all over him and his warped environmental views, and also had a big piece on Hillary Clinton making her sound like a statesman in the Thomas Jefferson or Benjamin Franklin mode, topped off by a one-sided take on some sort of gay country culture that offered no balance reporting at all---just gushed all over it.

The day Time magazine counters such an issue with three big conservative presentations that aren't negative or tongue in cheek slams is the day that I vote for Hillary.

 

But more accurate.

 

This was my first thought.

 

If it hadn't been pointed out, it's doubtful I would have noticed that had I stared at the cover for 10 minutes straight.

 

Oh, clutch. The "ultraleft" Joe Klein. As opposed to going out of its way to hire Bloody Bill Kristol AFTER he's been wrong about everything for the past seven years. And, anyway, "ultraleft"? Joe Klein? Are you high?
Anyway, there's this:



And this...



and this:



Please try harder.

 

Joe Klein = Ultraliberal? You wouldn't know a true liberal if one bit you on the ass. Being a democrat or slightly left of the U.S. center doesn't make one a liberal.

 

Move over, The Nation, The Progressive, Mother Jones, In These Times. Here comes Time...standard-bearer of the left.

 

That Mother Jones is just a commie mag. No real American would be caught dead reading it. And the Nation . . . well, now that's just subversive propaganda put out by the commies in Cuba and Venezula.

 

Have we at least used up our quotient on Jesus/Bible covers for newsmagazines over the past few years?

I always imagined the pitching of the headlines:

Jesus, still a swell guy.

God, back by popular demand.

The Bible, is there anything it can't do?

And Joe Klein=ultraliberal is my laugh of the day. Thanks, clutch.

 

Yeah, that Gore, always believing what the vast majority of the scientific community says. He's just CRAZY!

 

Billy Graham almost looks like Al Sharpton in that profile shot.

 

At the risk of hacking a lot of people here off...I wish that came in poster size.
