Chuckles just keep coming!
Time was never a "left-wing mag", in any era. The Nation, In These Times, Ramparts -- those are/were left-wing mags. Time was always about the establishment, and Great Men, and the vital center.

- cc439 8y agoThere are many wings in the halls of the left. I'd consider Time as biased to the left but they voiced the ideology of the establishment, coastal, urban leftist elite. They espoused the kind of left wing viewpoints expected of a mainstream Democratic Party politician much the same way as the Wall Street Journal and now Fox News espouses the views of the establishment elite of the right wing. They were to the "Liberals" what those other sources are for "Neoconservatives" while the rest of the wings in their halls find their voice in more fringe outlets. To someone further out on the left, they appear centrist. To someone on the right the leftist-bias immediately places them in the broader category of "leftist" even if they are far closer to the center than most outlets.
