What possible difference could a lying cover make to a lying magazine that isn’t published anymore? Or if it is published somewhere, it’s 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 it’s 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.”

The CNN host tries to make this a case of the VRWC protesting (backlash) when the truth is that Time Magazine could have corrected what has been shown to be an absolute misrepresentation. The Time Magazine editor-in-chief, Edward Felsenthal, goes on friendly media to defend the equivalent of "fake but accurate".

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?

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.

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.

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.

“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.
