TIME Magazine thinks US can't handle the truth

27 Mar

Different strokes for different folks?Â Hat tip to debel u at DKos:Â

As you'll remember , several months ago Newsweek ran a cover story titled "Losing Afghanistan". Â Well sort of. Â They ran the cover story in every edition around the world except in the US, where the cover story was titled "Annie Leibowitz Amazing 'Life in Pictures'".Â Â
Well this week TIME magazine stole a page out of Newsweek's book (or magazine?). Â If you click on the link, you'll see TIME's cover story in every edition but the American one is "Talibanistan", a story about the resurgence of the Taliban. Â TIME's cover for the US: "Why We Should Teach the Bible in Public School".Â

Nice.
