| | Time Magazine and Global Warming | | 2008-04-23 19:21:00 | | "During the Second World War, the Japanese empire represented a potent threat to the United States global warming does not. To use this image in a doctored fashion makes light of one of the most familiar moments of one of the bloodiest battles in U.S. history..."Time has always been passionate about Global Warming, but this latest issue stepped it up a notch and made them gain stronger supporters or enemies, in my case, the latter. On this occasion the magazine has gone too far.The April 28th issue cover is a Photoshopped adaptation of U.S. Marines and U.S. Navy corpsman raising the almighty United States flag on Mount Suribachi; an iconic image by the late Joe Rosenthal that won him a Pulitzer prize, and one that has its own unique place in history.This represents only one of two times in 85 years that the magazine has used a border that is not red, thus we conclude, that Time feels strongly enough about the issue to break a key rule about presentation and color elements in order to ... | | By: American Interests | | |
| | TIME Magazine Author Bryan Walsh Is Going To Hell For Sacrilege | | 2008-04-19 12:55:00 | | It's not a matter of IF?, But WHEN! And just depends on which Veteran gets his hands on him first as to what happens to him. I know TIME has it's standard liberal bent like the majority of the media outlets do. But a mortal sin like this, isn't covered by the same "ART" excuse that Andres Serrano got away with on "Piss Christ." This doesn't qualify as art.Walsh is doomed. And heaven forbid I be the one to find him first, as I'll most likely bury a Ka-Bar in his A$$ for this travesty. It would be a fitting end to the bastard.If your wondering what's got me so riled up, TIME Magazine has made what can only be described as the poorest choice in history for a magazine cover to promote global warming. And at the same time, ridicule one of the bloodiest yet Nation-wide morale boosting images of all time. They have chosen to swap the American flag out of the Iwo Jima Memorial for a TREE!An actual Iwo Jima veteran, Donald Mates was quoted as saying, "It's an absolute disgrace! Whoever, did it ... | | By: Hoopy Frood Dude | | |

| Filipino Pool Player Efren Bata Reyes on Time Magazine! | | 2008-03-12 10:13:20 | | Here is a read on Filipino pool player Efren Bata Reyes, aka The Magician, from Time Magazine’s November 13, 2006 issue – “60 Years of Asian Heroes”. Time Magazine’s special anniversary issue pays tribute to the remarkable men and women who have shaped these times. It’s an interesting read, friends! And I kid you not! And without further ado, here is the article in its entirety. Enjoy! Efren ReyesPool isn’t merely a beer-hall amusement – it’s a path to the topby Bob Guerrero Crime, entertainment or professional sport are the more traditional paths followed by those seeking an escape from poverty. Thankfully for the Philippines and the game of pool, Efren Reyes opted for the third of these routes. It might not have been the case – growing up dirt poor in Angeles City, Pampanga, presents a man with countless ways to go awry. But Reyes possessed so miraculous a talent that nothing, ultimately, could deviate him from his true calling. At the age of nine, ... | | By: The AnitoKid Chronikos | | |

| Putin Announced as Time Magazine's "Man of the Year" | | 2007-12-19 08:10:00 | | Perhaps not-so-surprising announcement regarding Time Magazine naming Vladimir Putin as their "Man of the Year" for 2007. Reuters has the story of one of the more negative sounding pronouncements of "Man of the Year" in recent memory.Russian President Vladimir Putin was named Time magazine's "Person of the Year" for 2007 on Wednesday for bringing his country "roaring back to the table of world power." "He's not a good guy, but he's done extraordinary things," said Time managing editor Richard Stengel, who announced Putin's selection on NBC's "Today Show.""He's a new tsar of Russia and he's dangerous in the sense that he doesn't care about civil liberties; he doesn't care about free speech; he cares about stability. But stability is what Russia needed and that's why Russians adore him."Not a good guy? What, like he beats up old ladies and kicks dogs? I find the statement that he "doesn't care about civil liberties" a bit odd also - I think Putin's perspective is likely quite different, more of a first-things first approach. As much as our press would like to hand-wring about it, I think most Russians aren't feeling their civil liberties being squashed any more than Americans do.Personally, these aren't the items or policies for which I would first criticize Putin. Then again, I also think that he gets too much credit for an economic recovery that actually started at the end of Boris Yeltsin's time. There is always something to be said for being in the right place at the right time. Putin deserves the most credit for simply having clear ideas on asserting Russia's influence on the international stage, now that the nation has resurgent economic prowess. To commemerate the occasion, I'm sharing the following Putin cut-out figure. Now you too can have a little Putin, Man of the Year, watching over your desk!When completed, the figure will look like this:Variations on the theme can be found here. Save to del.icio.us

| | Joe Klein and TIME Magazine Engage in Blatant Hillary Clinton Damage Control | | 2007-11-14 00:38:41 | | In the most recent issue of TIME Magazine, Joe Klein wrote a puff piece titled: “What Hillary Stands For.” This was the most brazen use of damage control by a purportedly objective magazine that I have seen in the last decade. After reading Joe Klein’s journalistic negligence, I finally understand why TIME Magazine is losing subscribers.
Not only should Joe Klein be ashamed for what he wrote,...

| | Filipino on Time magazine’s list of Green heroes | | 2007-11-04 18:53:00 | | By TJ BurgonioMANILA, Philippines -- In the eyes of fellow environmentalists, Von Hernandez is the kind who walks his talk, and gets the job done. It’s no surprise then that Hernandez has been named by Time magazine as among this year’s “Heroes of the Environment,” along with Al Gore, Mikhail Gorbachev and Prince Charles and other personalities. The Greenpeace campaign director was cited for his relentless campaign against trading in waste and highly polluting waste incinerators that led the Philippines to ban waste incineration in 1999, the first country to do so. “He deserves all the honor. He represents the authentic environmental activist. He walks his talk. He knows his direction. He knows the problems of the planet,” environmentalist Odette Alcantara said in an interview. Hernandez “belongs to the pantheon of Filipino environmentalists that made their mark at the international level,” said Richard Gutierrez of Basel Action Network (BAN). “He helped blaze the w... | | By: Angat ang Pinoy | | |
| | TIME Magazine honors Filipino environmentalist | | 2007-10-29 22:13:00 | | Heroes of the EnvironmentIt’s no surprise then that Hernandez has been named by Time magazine as among this year’s “Heroes of the Environment,” along with Al Gore, Mikhail Gorbachev and Prince Von Hernandez former literature professor, activist, environmentalist, and Greenpeace campaign director for Southeast Asia. As “Heroes of the Environment”, he is in the same list as Al Gore, Prince Charles and Mikhail Gorbachev. Hernandez is one of Asia’s leading activists against waste incineration. Instead he advocates the effective, polluatant-free technology that is recyling and recomposting of the mountains of trash across the Philippines. “The garbage problem in the Philippines can’t be burned away through waste incineration. Incineration spews dangerous toxic fumes and poison ash into the environment. Through community waste reduction and recycling programs, the Philippines can safely manage our garbage while protecting human health and the environment.” Hernandez’ work and passion caught the eye of TIME Magazine and awarded him as one of 45 people who are “Heroes of the Environment”. In 2003, Hernandez was awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize, the Nobel Prize equivalent for grass-roots environmentalists.image source: http://www.time.com/ & http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/... | | By: Pro Pinoy | | |
