It’s interesting to look up a copy of Time from, say, the 60’s and compare it to the magazine of today. The quality of the writing, the language used and the overall tone was so much better then. I’m not even referring to the political bent but just the overall presentation of ideas. I saw this begin to slip in the 80’s which is when I let my subscription lapse.

We were avid Time readers in the 1960's and I appreciated Schnickel's analysis.

Then I went to college, then married and resumed with my own Time subscription in the mid 1970s.

In less than a year, my wife and I were so disgusted that we cancelled. The magazine had become political indoctrination.

We would have called it "Fake Magazine" had the term existed.

There was nothing for us in the MSM until 1988 when Limbaugh took over talk radio.

Looking at the headline on this thread I realized it’s been decades since the words “influential” and “Time Magazine” have been used in the same sentence.
