Media Matters looks at Time (Magazine) (compare, state, claim, news)

[ontheroad]

Here's an interesting analysis from Media Matters about several issues recently covered in Time magazine.

Dissecting from the left-middle to the middle-right is fascinating!

What do you think? How do you view Time on the political spectrum?

Yes it is interesting. Also interesting that the source you site, Media Matters is a self-proclaimed progressive research and information center dedicated to monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative information in the U.S. media

How do we view Time seems a bit of a loaded question Otr, I view them liberal ofcourse. another good site to get the political scoop on the media, is the Media Research Center http://www.mediaresearch.org/

Not just Time, but I think overall the media cohereces people into something they want to quantify or herd people towards. News anchors look like used car salesmen to me.

Yes, I believe I stated in my opening post that the site was left. I also believe that I have started that I am left of center.

I suppose being so left of center, I find Time more center to right--as I always have. It was more right leaning than say, Newsweek. I always subscribed to Time when I considered myself a Republican. More recently, I started a subscription to Newsweek.

I will definitely check the site you mention to get a overall picture and compare the differences.

Thanks for sharin igt.

I really agree with you. I don't find newscasters reporting anymore but editorializing--whether it is left, right or center.

Glad to have your POV.
