I’m over 40 and I don’t read it now and after reading a few issues in college never did again. When I was in grad school my parents thought it wold be good for me to read some sort of news magazine “To keep up wth events.” I told them I had no intention of wasting my time reading a pile of half witted socialist excrement. They bought me a subscription to us news and world report - if anything even further left than Time. I just tossed it directly from the mailbox into the trash.
Back before the seventies or eighties, Time and U.S.N.W.R. were considered conservative. In those days Time was run by the Luce’s and was the traditional counter to the reliably lefty Newsweek. Things changed since the sixties, and Time became virtually indistinguishable from Newsweek which has always stayed true to its leftist-lib roots. U.S.News etc. was also a very conservative mag, and it changed as well.
When I was in high school debate we’d use most of the “mainstream” magazines for reference. Even 25 years ago we all called it “Useless News and World Distort”.
