Interesting link. When Life went under and closed its doors, all those lefties who worked there (and I will bet that 95% of them were indeed lefties) went to Time, Newsweak and so on.
I read through a few issues, they were completely infatuated with liberal politicians and liberal viewpoints.
The passage of time sure does make me see that much more clearly.
I know what you’re saying but I don’t think the MSM became really biased and leftist until the late 60’s. Life magazine was truly a part of Americana and middle class everyday life. It was as American as hot dogs, beer, and the World Series. In fact, until it went out of business it was a staple in nearly every middle class home. It’s tempting today to lump all publications as liberally biased but we can’t blame all of them for not knowing today what they couldn’t have known at the time.
