Time, as a print magazine assumes it role to pontificate on the lower class of publishing medium. In it's knowed position of media, they point out surface level and uncontroversial annoyances. Trolls are easy to spot, but it's a distraction from what Time isn't going after: the under-informed and sensationalized media assaulting the public non-stop from every direction.
Time, as a print magazine, doesn't dare acknowledge this fact. They're in the same exact business as tabloids, just at different rungs on the respectability ladder. So they're both going to go after the trolls. The fact Milo works for Breitbart only gets a parenthetical mention. They don't stop to question the quality of Breitbart's content, just play a bit of guilt by association towards it's board.
Of course it only gives more power to Weev and Milo's actions. But Time needs the trolls to be powerful, because if they weren't Time couldn't teach you to hate them.
