I was particularly struck by the cover of Time magazine, in which Bush
makes a second appearance in his aircraft carrier walk-on, but this
time hadlined: NO, IT'S NOT OVER, or words to that effect. Time can
trust to the short memory of its readers, that what the man said was
something entirely different: major combat operations are over, which
they most certainly were and are. That cover could have been a paid ad
by the Dean campaign! Yet the Good People at Time would have apoplexy
if you accused them of bias.
I too was somewhat surprised with the Time cover when I saw it.
For one of the "mainstream" media outlets, allegedly controlled by
the "gumint", surely someone in the editorial review board was going
to be sent off to the Gulag for that one!
Question the war if you must, but that cover and title was a cheap shot,
with little journalistic merit.
