Just like the Wall Street criminals and Bush Administration.

oligarch overlords.

Or a pic of Saddam. Or Ghadaffi.

What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

This 100% faux generated outrage about Bergdahl and it is coming to us
just like the "Swift Boats for Truth" did about John Kerry in 2004.

If w had acted on the 8/6/2001 PDB we wouldn't had to be in Afghanistan or
if Don Rummy hadn't stopped our troops in Dec. 2001 from getting bin Laden
@ Tora Bora we would have been out of that crap hole years ago.

the right wing echo chamber attacked a POW without having facts to support its assertions. Pox News and hate radio are the face and voice of the Republican Party. It's unfortunate that a reactionary propaganda operation holds so much sway over a major political party to the point of transforming that Party into a cartoon character death cult that devours itself as it attempts to drag good people into their cesspool.

The families of all the servicepeople overseas would all say YES if it were their family member instead of this young man. If I had any young people in my family of an age to "serve" I would discourage them, it just is not worth it to fight for this country as it stands today. Not because of President Obama, but the useless politicians who have sat on their lazy asses for 6 years now, blocking anything that could have helped the citizens. Shootings on a daily basis, it is not safe to go anywhere these days, gun freaks are running wild. Everything the President does is met with "Impeach" Disgusting. It has not changed since the early days. The gop is for the wealthy (tax breaks) the democratic party is for the workers. On Sunday the gop propoganda shows will have McCain and Graham on, calling for impeachment of the President, and further dragging the USA into a cesspool.

Thanks, Meegbear!

It was bad enough that they had special "fluff" covers made for USA consumption only.

Now one has to seriously consider whether one should waste any time or money on the magazine, unless stuck in a dentist's office....

But not by being Liberal as the Rightists claim.

and it's 1984, all the time, every channel.

Time has sucked.

So it might be of use!!

I was always under the impression that time was nothing more than a water carrier for the right wing.

I vaguely recall Carl Bernstein writing about just that.

So now the seed is planted that Time magazine and the Republican party/FOX News believes we should leave *some* troops behind. Imagine if you were a captured troop - would you cling to the hope that your country was fighting to bring you home or wonder if TIME magazine, John McCain and Joe Scarborough will be screaming for you to be left behind. What a nast, disturbing precedent to start. Who needs enemies to wage a psych war on our troops when we have the TIME Magazine and Republican party to do it for us?

but now even you admit it with this bullshit cover.

Worth it?

Despicable.

And this one is backed by no information. But that won't stop anyone, because it's meant to stir up emotion, no matter what the cost. I hope they get the shaming they deserve.

n/t

Don't enlist. Your country will fuck you over if it serves the interests of the ruling elites. That has always been true, this just makes it clearer.

off.

and that it's a serious subject.


the Rude Pundit's one of the best.

to go.

and I haven't looked back. I don't miss the rag. The reporting can be good but for the most part it isn't anything spectacular. So I am glad to not have to see what kind of nonsense they are publishing including who or what is Man/Woman/Thing of the year.

it belongs back in their faces.

Time = garbage rag.

The mainstream publications and networks ALWAYS eagerly anticipate RW tool with trembling lips.

Count on it every time.

Thanks for the thread, meegbear.

Not to mention Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes.

And even if Bowe Bergdahl had deserted and pissed on the American flag, we still would have gotten the better end of the deal.

...what else can be added to what The Rude Pundit said?

News magazines like 'Mother Jones' and 'The Progressive' do not accept corporate advertising. I made that observation many years ago on my journey to becoming a progressive, a socialist and a leftist. Anyone who still reads Time, Newsweek and the other corporate controlled magazines are ignorant rubes incapable of critical thinking.
