Call Tom Cruise and pass out the vitamins because conservatives are officially sad. It seems “Time” magazine is trying to top last week’s “Verdict on Cheney” cover that photoshopped storm clouds over the lightning-rod vice president. The cover for the March 26 issue shows a close-up headshot of the late Ronald Reagan who appears to have a single tear on his cheek, ala Iron Eyes Cody. The “photo illustration” is accompanied by the caption, “How The Right Went Wrong,” referring to “these gloomy and uncertain days” for conservatives.
Both images are hoaxes. Iron Eyes Cody was featured in one of the most memorable environmentalist promotions that showed a lone “Indian” crying about littering and pollution with a single tear sliding down his cheek in the final shot. Iron Eyes Cody was known as the “crying Indian,” but his family knew him as Espera DeCorti, the son of Italian immigrants. This cover is as accurate as that fake glycerine tear that gently slid down Iron Eyes Cody’s cheek.
Radar Online states that “Time” table of contents gives the “somewhat cryptic” credits for the cover in small print as, “Photograph by David Hume Kennerly. Tear by Tim O’Brian” but does not specifically state that it the cover is photoshopped. “Time” responded to Radar, defending their cover:

More liberal propaganda. Who reads this trash anyway?
Annoying.
They can't even get the location of the tear right.
Well, JFK should be pictured balling his eyes out and shaking his finger at little brother Ted and all the other Dim traitors.
Who reads this crap? Air America employees of coarse
Let`s see them photoshop a photo of Ted Kennedy puking his guts up after downing 20 quarts of JD or his son crashing into stuff after downing a couple bottles of pills...Oh wait, you don`t need to photoshop that. Just point and click.
Well at least we know the 'new Time' redesign and management hasn't changed the politics of the rag.
Reagan's tears cure cancer. Too bad he never cried.

You DO mean "bawling," don't you?
Maybe it's just me, but it appears to me that the MSM has decided the key to its survival is to move farther and more openly to the left. Rather than trying to hide its bias, it's getting worse; they're just not interested in selling magazines to anyone but the radical left.
That cross is photshopped from an Ikea catalogue. The face is a bit Eton schoolboyish and the crown of thorns looks like a fashion accessory.
Sorry don't like that painting,,,aesthetic ponse as I am.
Wouldn't it be interesting if Nancy condemmed the phoney photo?
I'd love to see Time's response to that!
Bawling-Sorry
I did wonder about the photo. I figured, though, that Time was crass enough to use a photo taken after the Challenger explosion or the attack on the Marines in Beirut. Their explanation is ludicrous. Imagine if a conservative paper photoshopped a picture of Bill Clinton groping a woman and tried to present it as accurate.
