Time magazine’s parent company is a top donor to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign — a factor that may help explain the publication’s obsession with blaming Russian president Vladimir Putin for “rigging” the U.S. presidential election.
This year, alone, Time Inc., the organization behind Time — one of the most prestigious American weekly news magazines in history — donated nearly $15,000 to the Clinton campaign. A second organization, Time Warner, which was deeply tied to Time until 2014, is also a major Clinton fan. The company gave her campaign $327,308 in individual contributions in 2016, alone.
But perhaps most telling of the organization’s preferences is the presence of Nancy Gibbs as Time’s managing editor. At the tender age of 53, she “shattered a glass ceiling” by taking over for Richard Stengel, who in 2013 “[stepped] down from his news magazine job to join the Obama administration at the Department of State,” Politico reported.
Gibbs is a competent writer, whose impressive resume includes writing for Time for 28 years. This makes her “one of the most published writers in the history of the magazine, having been an essayist and lead writer on virtually every major news event of the past two decades,” according to Magazine.org.

This tact the Democrat party and their media are on is extremely dangerous.
I agree.
This is justification for militant rebellion
Wondering how this toilet paper stays in business.
This constant antagonizing of Putin is putting the life of every man, woman, and child in the nation in grave jeopardy.
We are playing games that Putin sees as an existential treat to Russia and his regime. He will not go quietly into the night if cornered.
Sane and responsible politicians do not risk nuclear war as a campaign stunt.
is there still a Time Magazine? I can’t recall seeing on in quite a few years
I Have to agree, antagonizing Putin is a very bad idea. If he gets the idea it might be catching on in this country, we might have a bigger problem than ISIS...
I was just thinking the same thing. It’s never at the checkout rack in my local drugstore, and I can’t recall seeing one in years.
Is this some kind of “salt the earth behind me”, maneuver ?
We blow hot and cold with the Russians. We antagonize them on Monday and then stand aside and show weakness for the rest of the weak.
Eventually something very bad is going to happen and we have too many morons making decisions.
Hillary Clinton seems hell bent on confronting Putin instead of trying to find a compromise that stabilizes the situation in Syria and Iraq. There is no “moderate opposition” in Syria only ISIS, the “moderate” ISIS JV team we are arming, and the Russian/Iranian backed Assad.
I do not see how Syria can be stabilized at this point except under Assad. This is not a good outcome for us but the best that can be hoped for at this point, I’m afraid.
Time magazine is no longer at the doctor or dentist offices either (even their usual OLDE ones, ha ha!)
and that means Time is REALLY ON THE SKIDS if its not even good enough to be a throw-away for root canal patients, ha ha!
I don't think the Russians will do anything too crazy out of the blue but they do feel, not without some justification, that "regime change" and the isolation of Russia is the US goal for Russia.
You might remember Putin's angry denunciation of our intervention in Libya and the death of Qaddafi. He feels we have the same plans for him and he will fight if cornered. Russia is not very strong militarily in reality but he might role the dice in the belief that we are week.
This makes no sense at all.
Is Hillary insane?
Why did she sell 15 or 20% of the U.S. domestic Uranium supply to Russia just a few years ago?
Wpin, what did you mean by "the tact? "Was the intended word "tack?"
Are you sober?
Correction. TIME went full propagandist many years ago.
Time sends us two copies gratis every month. We recycle them from the incoming mail into the trash unopened as soon as they come in. . . saves our and our patients' aggravation.
Do you actually think the Russians would have any chance whatsoever of winning a full scale military conflict with the US and/or NATO in the Ukraine or Syria if things went all out? Your insane if you do- Russia has a much better PR department than military. Also, Russia is in VERY bad financial shape. But Putin would roll the dice on war rather than go quietly into the night. He is posturing about nukes obviously but there are too many nit wits on both sides to be playing such games.
We are week?
Dear God, yes we are weak! The US has NEVER been more week spiritually and politically than it is now. Do you think that Putin would have gone into to the Crimea if he thought for a second we would try and stop him? No. He can see that this county is paralyzed and unable to act. So can Iran and China. Strong nations don't airlift billions of dollars in cash to pay ransoms to enemies. Russia is not strong militarily but it is willing to take risks and suffer losses. We will do neither. And we should NOT take risks. We lost the Iraq war, we are loosing in Afghanistan, and we will unquestionably loose any future adventures in the middle east because we are led by fools and won't fight to win. Maybe things will change if Trump is elected but with Hillary I oppose ANY US action in the middle east PERIOD. The chance of our "leaders" bodging things up is 100%
Are you sober?
Always nice to talk to adults that keep things on the level of gratuitous personal insults rather than substantive discussion. Thanks for keeping it classy...
Tactic...this is part of a strategy.
