Time Magazine Pays the Price for Lost Credibility
[NEWSBUSTERS] Last week in this space the focus was on Time magazine's glorification of now Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris
It is time for us to do what we have been doing. And that time is every day
The point was that the then-current cover of Time - an illustration of Harris that, as noted, presented her as ''a cross somewhere between Miss America and a religious icon'' - was in reality an illustration of just how the ''mainstream media'' was thoroughly in the tank for Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people , white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
and the Left in general, and, this election year, Harris in particular.
A week later, the New York Post is headlining another story about Time - a story that might be seen as reporting on the consequences for Time for tilting so visibly for Democrats.
The Post headline:
Time cuts 22 staffers at magazine, cites 'significant challenges' across media industry
The Post story reports:
Time is slashing 22 jobs as the volatile media environment continues to squeeze the iconic magazine.
Time chief executive officer Jessica Sibley said Tuesday that the company is slashing roles across several departments including editorial, technology, sales & marketing and Time Studios.
In a memo obtained by The Post, Sibley told staffers: ''It is incredibly hard to say goodbye to our talented colleagues; we are deeply grateful for their contributions to Time's culture, mission and legacy, and we will closely support them through this period of transition.''
"Security will help them pack their personal effects"
The CEO said the decision was made so that the company can build a ''sustainable'' future due to headwinds facing the industry and economic uncertainty.
—A rep for Time declined to comment on the company's headcount.
Time magazine was under fire earlier this month for its fawning cover story featuring Vice President Kamala Harris, despite her refusing an interview with the publication. Conservatives ripped the piece over the absence of Harris' voice and the vice president's opaque policy agenda.''
