Joe Klein: 'Community Organizer Is a Code Word for Organizing Poor Peo

May 27th, 2012 3:15 PM
As NewsBusters has been reporting for months, the goal of the liberal media as it shamelessly campaigns for the reelection of President Obama is to paint everything opponent Mitt Romney says as racist, elitist, or both. On this weekend's syndicated Chris Matthews Show, Time magazine's Joe Klein said that Romney referring to Obama's experience as a "community organizer is a code word for…

NYTimes Assigns Condescending Hit Piece on Jonah Goldberg's 'Infantile

May 22nd, 2012 12:14 PM
Surprising no one, the New York Times handed its review of Jonah Goldberg's new book, The Tyranny of Clichés, to a political enemy, Time Magazine political columnist Joe Klein (pictured), which he did under the loaded headline "Hating Liberals." The paper similarly handed its review of Goldberg's previous book, 2007's Liberal Fascism, to unsympathetic history professor David Oshinsky. Klein…

May 17th, 2012 3:08 PM
"Some religious leaders are struggling with President Obama’s support for gay marriage but not the Rev.

May 12th, 2012 9:26 AM
Time magazine shocked the nation this week with a cover photo of a three-year-old boy being nursed by his mother as promotion for its feature article "Are You Mom Enough?"

Time Mag’s Scherer Hails ‘Incredibly Eloquent’ Lugar Manifesto

May 11th, 2012 9:23 AM
The Washington press corps always love it when establishment Republicans scold conservatives for trying to “purify” the party, and Time magazine’s Michael Scherer did not disappoint. “Indiana Sen. Dick Lugar did not go quietly, after losing his primary contest Tuesday in Indiana to a Tea Party-backed challenger, Richard Mourdock,” Scherer wrote the next day in a Time “Swampland” blog titled “…

Time Magazine Edits Out Clinton Saying 'For Him' in Obama's Bin Laden

May 6th, 2012 1:44 PM
It's become a huge source of contention that in the Obama campaign ad featuring the current White House resident shamelessly congratulating himself for killing Osama bin Laden, former President Clinton says that if SEALs had been captured or killed during the raid, "The downside would have been horrible for him." Time magazine published an article last week by former Newsweek editor Jon…

Time's Joe Klein Says the Election Isn't About Obama's Record

April 14th, 2012 6:55 PM
Yesterday, Time's Joe Klein may have produced the single dumbest analysis post ever. Absurd as it is, it's still important, because it probably betrays Barack Obama's election strategy, with which the press will gleefully cooperate. The strategy is: Make it about anything and everything besides what I and my administration have and haven't done, because it hasn't impressed anyone, and we know…

April 6th, 2012 9:45 AM
It's tough to believe this actually happened in the year 2012. During an interview with South Carolina's Republican Governor Nikki Haley, Time magazine's editor-at-large Belinda Luscombe disgracefully said, "In New York City, which you're visiting for a couple of days, a lot of our taxi drivers are Sikhs. If you get one, are you going to give him a slightly bigger tip?"

March 30th, 2012 6:18 AM
Plugging his new book, The Crisis of Zionism, on Thursday's The Colbert Report on Comedy Central, the Daily Beast's Peter Beinart - formerly of Time magazine - advanced the irrational view that it is the Israeli government and those who support the existence of Jewish settlements in the West Bank who are the obstacles to peace with the Palestinians.

March 5th, 2012 4:48 PM
On Sunday's NBC Meet the Press, after the panel roundly bashed Rush Limbaugh and Republicans for not denouncing him enough, correspondent Savannah Guthrie surprisingly criticized President Obama's response to the controversy: "The President also in danger, perhaps, of an overreach by calling this law student [Sandra Fluke]....that seemed a little nakedly political."

Time's Meacham: Anti-Limbaugh Letter by Georgetown President 'Timeless

March 5th, 2012 12:50 PM
Jon Meacham has come down with a particularly virulent strain of Limbaugh Derangement Syndrome that is bringing him to the brink of insanity. How else could one explain the Time magazine writer hailing an anti-Limbaugh speech as "timeless"  just like Jesus's Sermon on the Mount or Lincoln's Gettysburg Address? Yes, I kid you not, he really went there, and in a Time.com "Ideas" blog post…

Joe Klein Shocker: Requiring Insurers to Cover Birth Control 'Major Ov

March 4th, 2012 9:45 PM
Time's Joe Klein on Sunday took a position that is likely to shock people on both sides of the aisle. In a discussion about birth control on CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS, Klein surprisingly said, "Why, in a country where we don't require employers to provide health insurance should we require them to - those who do provide health insurance - to provide contraception? Now, I'm all in favor of…

March 4th, 2012 8:57 PM

On CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS, Salam took on the host, Time magazine's Joe Klein, and the Nation's Katrina Vanden Heuvel on a far-ranging discussion about how both sides of the aisle view taxes, the Tea Party, and social change with…
