You remember when Time tweeted out how the the-photo-that-shall-no-longer-be-named would (obviously) the cover photo for the next issue? You also know how you saw a story the other day how an unnamed AP editor was going around telling other journalists how they needed to downplay that photo, because it make Trump look to good?
What a surprise, right? They take something that is obviously a positive look for Trump, and change the cover into something that turns his rally into a dark grey disaster, with the flag presiding overhead - over Trump's "destruction of democracy".
Again - you might think you hate these people enough, but you still don't.
Devil's Advocate, somebody has copyright on that photo.
His camera didn't make a shutter sound it went cha-ching!
It's possible he demanded too much money from TIME and they wouldn't sell enough newsstand copies to make it worth it. Not like anybody is going to subscribe to TIME to get this issue.
I'd never buy TIME and even I would've gotten it just for holding a bit of history and I doubt I am alone in this. Welp, so much for that.
