In Time Q&A, Chelsea Clinton Doesn't See Her Future In TV News

Tim Graham
Although Chelsea Clinton still uses her NBC News Special Correspondent title when she puts her byline on Daily Beast articles, her interview with Time magazine leaves the strong sense there is no NBC News future for Special Chelsea. The entire hiring stunt reeked of Bill-and-Hillary favor-seeking. Time’s Jim Frederick declared, “So you currently work for NBC and you’re studying for a PhD.”…

To close out this series, I’ve pulled together what I consider the 25 most obnoxious quotes of the MRC’s history. It’s a pretty…

Time's Padgett Uses 'Jesus Wife' Papyrus as Excuse to Bash Catholic Ch

Ken Shepherd
He's a liberal Catholic who thinks the Catholic Church needs to just give it up already with its silly fixation with defending the sanctity of life for the unborn. He also once compared the Church's bishops to Southern segregationists. So it should come as no surprise that Tim Padgett -- who is previously on record as dissenting from the Church on the celibate male priesthood -- should use the…

TIME Magazine: Anti-Islam Filmmakers Are 'Islamophobic' But Deadly Rio

Ken Shepherd
The caption accompanying a September 13 TIME magazine photo slide tags the filmmakers behind "The Innocence of Muslims" as "Islamophobes" while those rioting in the Arab street supposedly in reaction against said film are merely "orthodox Muslims.":
 

Is Time Completely Rewriting Its Interviews

Tim Graham
Time magazine offered its Ten Questions interview to “fashion’s new phenom Prabal Gurung” in the September 17 edition, and asked him to load up the “wows” for how Michelle Obama honored him and his native country by wearing his dresses. Par for the course for Time, yes? Here’s where it gets odd. The video of Time writer Feifei Sun’s interview with Gurung is substantially different than the…

Toure Slams GOP Racist Code Words: 'Do Democrats Use Racial Code? No

Tim Graham
Time columnist and MSNBC host Toure could really be quite a humorist. Take this unintentional entry: "Do Democrats use racial code? No. The Democratic party is a racially diverse coalition. There would be no value to playing this game." I doubt he means hey, liberals don't use subtle codes: they blatantly accuse Republicans of killing, like in the NAACP's James Byrd ad. This came in an…
