The Ebola of Journalism: Liberalism is Killing Time and CNN
NewsBusters ^ | August 30, 2014 | Jeffrey Lord

Call it the Ebola of Journalism. And its spreading -- to Time and CNN.

The cover of the September 1, 2014 issue of Time could not be more explicit. Showing a dramatic image of a black man on his knees, hands raised with the cover bearing the title "The Tragedy of Ferguson," it was written by David Von Drehle and Alex Altman in the tones of the standard liberal “I-told-you-so” thinking on race . It included the line: “We’ve been here before—and failed to learn the lessons.”

When it came to the mess that is ObamaCare? There was this Time cover admitting the launch of HealthCare.gov was a disaster but presenting “the team that figured out how to fix it.” (You do know ObamaCare is fixed, right?)

And don’t forget all those gushing Obama covers like this one in 2007. As reported by NBC in December of 2008 that in all of that year “Time has featured Obama on its cover 14 times since Jan. 1. Newsweek was close behind, featuring the now-president-elect on 12 of its issues. Time has had 52 issues in 2008, so Obama has been featured on more than one-in-four of its covers, or about 27% of the time.”

Heard about this on a radio show and it was worth looking up. Not much of a surprise to anyone here but it's good to see in print all on the same page.

More like suicide is killing these liberal rags by not providing what the customer wants.

The newstand edition of Time is now about sixteen pages and sinking fast.

Liberalism will kill it before long.

When the MSM shifted from news to political dogma, it’s fate was sealed. There is still a demand for real news, the trick is finding it. If I have to accept my news shrouded in political perspective, I’ll choose the perspective with which I am in tune with.

I disagree with this title. This is not a contagious disease like ebola. This is heavy metal poisoning. They had a choice, and they ravenously gulped it down.

in ferguson, did the cop have a swollen eye / broken eye socket or not?

if yes.. nothing else matters. he was attacked.

next, we’re there wit eases to say the 300lbs, 6’4” male charged the cop?

if yes... the he should have expected to get shot.

time and newsweak are trying to milk it for all they can to get dem voters to the polls in November

The entire music industry is dying from a very similar fate. The powers that be made the decision years ago after Axl Rose from Guns N Roses used the “N” word in a song that such a thing must never be allowed to happen again. At the time Axl Rose was possibly the biggest rock star in the world, you will never see a masculine/aggressive white male promoted by the entertainment industry to that level ever again EVER!

What they forgot was that nearly every dime that music made came from 12 to 18 year old girls, the vast majority of whom where white. Sure, teen girls still like music, but not the same way they liked Led Zepplin, Van Halen, Def Leppard, etc.

They can’t make a dime in that industry today and they still refuse to take a look at basic market analysis. They would prefer to go bankrupt that stop pushing the agenda.

A comic book provides better information than TIME. No wonder that they have cartoons as part of their news delivery. If you want to see how far the quality of news has fallen, check out a TIME magazine from the 40’s or 50’s. I think Vietnam really ushered in the corruption in the big way we see fruits of today.
