August 5th, 2009 1:54 PM

Like Obama, Bill Clinton Also Idolized on Time Covers, But Not GOP Pre

August 1st, 2009 10:23 AM
So how unusual is it for a new President to be featured seven times on Time’s cover, as Barack Obama has been (with First Lady Michelle Obama snagging her own solo appearance)? A look back at Time’s covers finds Bill Clinton matched Obama’s celebrity in 1993 — seven covers for himself, one for Hillary. But the last three Republican Presidents — Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush…

AP, WaPo Tarnish Evangelists by Association with Late Prosperity Gospe

July 31st, 2009 11:58 AM
Frederick J. Eikerenkoetter II, more popularly known as "Rev. Ike", has gone to his reward. The 74-year old prosperity gospel huckster died on July 29 in Los Angeles. But in covering the story, the Associated Press and the Washington Post have carelessly tarnished legitimate preachers of the Christian Gospel by association, by lumping in Eikerenkoetter with more biblically orthodox Protestant…

'Paging Dr. Obama' Makes It Seven Time Mag Covers Since Election for O

July 31st, 2009 10:21 AM
Time magazine's August 10 edition with President Barack Obama on the cover (“Paging Dr. Obama”) trying to heal the nation in a photo illustration as a physician, wearing a white smock with a stethoscope around his neck, brings to seven the number of issues the magazine's cover has featured Obama just since November's election -- make that eight for the First Family if you add in June 1's…

Time Mag's Between Paragraph Anti-Bush and Cheney Potshot Links

July 26th, 2009 9:40 PM
Time magazine's online staff certainly undermined any notion of impartiality in how they littered the posted version of this week's cover story, “Inside Bush and Cheney's Final Days,” with the links they chose to display between paragraphs and at page breaks of the article. Some were innocuous, such as “See TIME's George W. Bush covers,” “See TIME's politics covers” and “See pictures of…

Joe Klein Denounces Israeli Govt. as 'Prime Impediment to Progress' in

July 20th, 2009 6:20 PM
So what's the biggest obstacle to Mideast peace? Hamas terrorists who refuse to accept Israel has a right to exist? Perhaps the Iranian government that finances anti-Israel terror operations? Neither, according to Time's Joe Klein (shown at right in file photo), who insists in a July 20 Swampland blog post the fault lies with Israel:Benjamin Netanyahu's phony flexibility on a two-state solution…

Time Warns President He Could Lose Healthcare Battle

July 17th, 2009 7:35 AM
It looks like Time Magazine’s Karen Tumulty is getting scared that we could be losing the healthcare battle so she is urging Obama to “step in” and fix it all for us. Why, only the dulcet tones of The One could save us all from… wait, isn’t this whole thing his deal in the first place? What is curious with this piece is the fact that Tumulty seems oblivious to the possibility that if healthcare…

Bozell Column: The Jackson Whitewash

July 9th, 2009 11:05 PM

The Washington Post called it an "orgy of praise" and an "exercise in excess." They were referring to the star-studded, mega-televised Michael Jackson memorial service in Los Angeles. It just as accurately described the supposedly serious national media’s weeks of outsized hyperbole concerning the life and death of a man who was a pop sensation, to be sure, but also highly…

Time's Klein Slams 'White-Bread Fantasy' of Reagan's 'Morning in Amer

July 7th, 2009 12:36 PM
Republicans, particularly those who are the biggest fans of Gov. Sarah Palin, are stuck in the vestiges of the 1984 "white-bread fantasy" of Reagan's "Morning in America," huffs Time magazine's Joe Klein in a July 6 Swampland blog post on "Sarah Palin's America":All this talk about Sarah Palin's constituency being "real Americans" raises the question, yet again, of who the unreal Americans are.…

Time's Padgett: Bush's 'Excessive' Power Pushed Argentinians to Rebuk

June 30th, 2009 11:53 AM
The recent midterm election drubbing of leftist legislative allies of Argentinan power couple President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and husband (and former president) Nestor Kirchner is partly thanks to the imperial designs of power-hungry former U.S. President George W. Bush and the consensus-building ethos of Barack Obama. Or so Time magazine's Tim Padgett asserts without evidence in a June…
