I had to look it up, but the last time I looked at Time magazine was back in 1989, their “Death by Gun” issue (combined with an HBO TV show). That was when they responded to the outcry against the outrageously unfair article by stating for the record that gun control was too important an issue to report fairly, and that TIME would continue to push for strict gun control.

I’m glad to see that “the chickens are coming home to roost.” I’m just sad that it’s taken more than 2 decades to get rid of this rag.

Is that the one where they admitted counting 24-year-olds as "children" in their gun stats (or maybe in a following issue with regards to this one)?

I remember that issue, referred to by many as the Time suicide issue. It was the last time I picked up anything from this company.

Is there an actual quote for this?
