Of course, but when Reagan and Poppa and sonny boy Bush won, they were deadly accurate, right??

I agree but it's better than most sources that get circulated around the web
Plus Wiki provides links to the sources of the information provided in it's articles. So it's very easy to fact-check and cross reference Wiki articles

What's the over/under on TIME pulling a NEWSWEEK in the next couple of years?
Member
Did they all spend like drunken sailors? Yes. Again, I reiterate, Time Rag-azine has poor taste in character.

You mean going strictly online? I'm surprised they haven't already done so. Subscriptions are way down on most news publications and going online will cut cost. I like my Newsweek in the mail, but that is over now. I hate reading from an electronic device. When I write a report on the computer I have to print it out to proof read it. Sucks.

No, it couldn't be that. It's not like the republicans ran their version of John Kerry in the election.It couldn't be that he won the election fair and square right?
Oh wait.

Anyone else unable to take him serious? Short, chubby and a butt-cut hairstyle doesn't conjure up the image of a dictator worthy of the title "Dear Leader".

Apologize not once, but twice for the United States, let Congress run amuck for over a year not reaching a budget agreement and STILL get TIME Magazine's "Person of the Year". Is this a great country or what?
Note: It's not "Man of the Year"

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Time is a shill for US policy, whether promoting the idolization of Obama, or peddling its 'the government's covertly aided fascist rebels are being oppressed!' mantra:
Christopher Simpson:
Not surprisingly, our government shills tend to call me an agent of AIPAC/NRA/[insert anti-fascist lobby of your choice here] for opposing US policy.From the beginning the National Committee for a Free Europe depended upon the voluntary silence of powerful media personalities in the United States to cloak its true operations in secrecy. "Representatives of some of the nation's most influential media giants were involved early on as members of the corporation [NCFE]," Mickelson notes in a relatively frank history of its activities. This board included "magazine publishers Henry Luce [of Time-Life] and DeWitte Wallace," he writes, "but not a word of the government involvement appeared in print or on the air." Luce and Wallace were not the only ones: C.D. Jackson, editor in chief of Fortune magazine, came on board in 1951 as president of the entire Radio Free Europe effort, while Reader's Digest senior editor Eugene Lyons headed the American Committee for the Liberation of the Peoples of Russia Inc., a corporate parent of Radio Liberation. Still, "sources of financing," Mickelson writes, were "never mentioned" in the press.
The practical effect of this arrangement was the creation of a powerful lobby inside American media that tended to suppress critical news concerning the CIA's propaganda projects. This was not simply a matter of declining to mention the fact that the agency was behind these programs, as Mickelson implies. Actually the media falsified their reports to the public concerning the government's role in Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberation for years, actively promoting the myth -- which most sophisticated editors knew perfectly well was false -- that these projects were financed though nickel-and-dime contributions from concerned citizens.
