Media Blackout much?

Here is some more of that liberal-media bias we hear about

Yeah, I saw this on reddit, pretty fucked up. I thought that our media was supposed to have a leftward spin.

TIME does that shit every now and then. Go to their website and go through the previous covers and you'll find other examples. Here's another example: TIME Magazine -- U.S. Edition -- January 17, 2011 Vol. 177 No. 2

It seems much of worlds media is leftward compared to ours. Ever check out Guardian? The Brit's left media source; funny because BBC seems pretty left compared to American news sources.

I liked this one the best: TIME Magazine -- U.S. Edition -- October 24, 2011 Vol. 178 No. 16

Claiming liberal media bias about a media that lets the rich do mostly as they please is a long-term tactic of the rich that has taken hold in some of the segments of society that it directly injures. It's twisted, but if the very-rich were unable to get many of the not-rich to work against their own self interest then they wouldn't stay rich for very long.

pretty common actually - not shocking given the disparate interests of Time's audience. And I'd think that bias would be a lot harder to detect from just cover images

Typical? yes, expected? Yes by many... but not by all! I am glad to see these sorts of things circulating... I wish more people around the world could see it though! The Internets, while highly populated, are missing a lot of populations from RL.

Things like these juxtaposed images and back to back newsreels of double talk need more coverage.
