After the liberal media went wild for a photoshopped Time magazine cover depicting President Trump looking down at a crying immigrant girl, it was exposed that the girl was not separated from her family after all. The magazines editor-in-chief, Edward Felsenthal appeared on CNNs Reliable Sources on Sunday to defend his outlets deceptive and misleading cover. Meanwhile, host Brian Stelter was worried about right-wing media pouncing on the story.
As soon as it was revealed through an interview with the child's father that the family had not been separated there was a really strong right-wing backlash to your cover, including from the Trump administration, Stelter prefaced. Did you make a mistake by having this crying girl on the cover?
Felsenthal looked pasted the false narrative that he and the rest of the liberal media put around the photo and citied its viral nature for their selection of the girl. Look, I think John Moore's photo was and will remain an iconic one. We chose the photo because this little girl became the face of this story on front pages and home pages and TV screens and Facebook feeds, he argued.
But maybe she shouldn't have been the face of this story if she wasn't separated from her mom, Stelter pushed back.

What possible difference could a lying cover make to a lying magazine that isnt published anymore? Or if it is published somewhere, its being kept super-secret. Maybe they print three copies and immediately shove them into a safe? Not only is it on none of the bewsracks but its not even in the doctors waiting room anymore. ( ps: GRTBR! )
The left used to call this “truthiness.” It’s not actually accurate in anyway, but it goes so well with what they think, that they don’t care about the accuracy. It’s not true, but it’s truthy.
The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.
The line used to be, “When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.” Now it is, “Convince everyone that the narrative is the fact, and destroy anyone who says otherwise.”
By the way, it may not still be true as my head spins with the shifting in the media ownership, but at least at one time, Time Magazine and CNN were both owned by Time Warner, who is now a subsidiary of AT&T (but not the AT&T of Ma Bell)!
I wonder at what rpm is Henry Luce (1898-1967), the founder of Time-Life, now spinning?
BOYCOTT the liars and frauds and anyone who does business with them.
Edward Felsenthal and Brian Stelter, a couple of Secular Progressive Irish guys making trouble again!
False but accurate....
The biggest part of this story was they picked a horrid picture that did not represent what they were writing. That means, in all probability this was not an outlier, and their stories bear statistically bad correlation to their pictures.
They don’t even check is their defense.

Thanks for that.
Probably the number one contender for the Dan Rather Fake but Accurate news award for 2018. Will be hard to beat.
Perhaps the law should be changed to require individuals seeking asylum to apply at the nearest U.S. Consulate....not at the border.
Times Felsenthal Propaganda. Its what we do.
Happy to do it.
That is an excellent idea.
I think we’ll have to win in the mid-terms to get that or anything meaningful done.
Exactly! We need to stop processing people at the border. Only allow people through the border that are legal to enter. All others go to consulate to sort out their claims.
Some restaurant owner needs to kick HIS ass out some day.
“Time Mag Head Defends Deceptive Cover, Rationalizes Dishonesty”
Yeah, you can do that when your moral compass is broken and your ethics are purely relativistic.
You can rationalize almost anything when you’re skewed as most libturds.
.... Well then .... I suppose that they feel very obligated to follow their Puppetmaster .... He is, after all, as scribed in John 8:44: ...."The Master of Deception and the Father of Lies ...."
