Time Magazine doesn't like Sarah Palin (what a shocker).

Posted on 12/11/2010 9:11:31 PM PST by Strk321

Time has done it again. They have a cover this week that, if not a direct attack on Sarah Palin, is at least demeaning. It essentially suggests that she is not ready for the presidency.

Now is there anything inherently wrong with that? In of itself, no. But they never ran such a cover of the Muslim even though he was just as, if not more, unready for office.

Yes, I am definitely inclined to believe that there is a double-standard here.

Have you ever heard the old adage that says something like "there more to the book than its cover?"

They did something similar to Howard Dean.

The surest way to attract anything is to resist it. The more the MSM does this sort of thing, the more certain it is that Sarah Palin will be our 45th president.

I was surprised that they took a moderate stance on the tax cut debacle, arguing that it was a necessary compromise to bring centrist voters back to Obama.

Guess that’s a bit better than the “Down with the revisionist traitor Obama! He’s sold out to bourgeois pigs!” line we’ve been hearing all week.

Excellent research. It would be too much to use this photo, even though she's wearing a nice Christmas green.

Of course, they don’t like her like Reagan.

At least Sarah Palin is the FRONT COVER OF IDIOTIC TIME MAG.

And that’s the most important thing.

BWA HA HA HA HA HA!

The Time article inside, was actually written by a writer who’s fair to Sarah Palin, which is likely the only reason she agreed to the interviews and the write-up. I think it’s also posted here, but I lose track of some of her articles, due to the number. You’re right about the cover, of course, it sux.

This cat box liner is sent free unsolicted to our office. Before I burned, shot and ran over the current issue POS with my SUV, I skimmed the Sarah Palin article.

As expected, the elites in the QueerMedia, continue to try to paint Tea Party Americans as outliers, the “far right”, etc.

Yo Commies: We ARE America....just been asleep for FAR too long, to allow you to elect your shiny brown cipher.

the same MSM claimed that BHO was ready to be president simply by virtue of having run for the office. “He is steeped in the issues”, said mort kondracke.

by that logic, I am qualified to be president.

If this was 1960 instead of 2010 and Time magazine had an influence on American's political opinions, this could be damaging. However, Time, like Newsweek et al. is basically preaching to the liberal choir at this late date so their coy attempt to diminish Sarah Palin is not particularly damaging, just annoying and, yes, it clearly demonstrates the blatant double standard inherent in almost all news media, today. Democrats get a free ride, if not outright endorsement while anyone on the right that might be a threat to the Democrats are savaged, either with a frontal assault or with the metaphorical thousand cuts.

Fortunately, the American public has become aware of the media's double standard and the loss of circulation among magazines such as Time indicates that these outlets are no longer taken seriously by the majority of Americans. Aggravated as I may be about yet another sly media attack on Sarah Palin, I'm encouraged by the fact that it comes from what amounts to a yipping Chihuahua attempting to scare off a Grizzly Bear and will very likely have about the same success, meaning, none at all.

Time magazine is irrelevant today. Personally I don't know anyone who admits to reading it regularly much less has a subscription to it.

Here are some Democrat Party/Leftist propaganda "news" mags:

Time
Newsweek
US News and World Report
The New Republic

I can’t believe that they would say that someone “is not ready” for the presidency. Obama had proven that being president is so easy, a caveman can do it. Morons!

I didn’t think the cover was that bad and the article they wrote was neutral

I just noticed that you're new here, so WELCOME strk321! Your support of Sarah Palin puts you on board with the owner Free Republic, so you're in the best company of all!


To: GoCards; Syncro; Sheila Robinson; All

This was at the Tea Party Express rally in Reno, NV last week (Go Sharron Angle!). The lady in the cowboy hat with the sweet smile is my wife Sheila. And that’s Syncro’s left eyeball in the upper left as he focuses his video camera.

Sarah was introduced to me by Sal Russo (leader of the Tea Party Express) who introduced me as Jim Robinson from freerepublic.com. She said thank you for all you guys have done, then leaned forward and gave me a little cheek to cheek hug. I took it as she loves the FReepers and pass it on to all of you!!

Woo hoo!! FR is Palin Country!!
