Time Magazine’s New Low

Business & Media Institute: Iwo Jima Veterans Blast Time’s ‘Special Environmental Issue’ Cover — Time editor tells MSNBC ‘there needs to be a real effort along the lines of World War II to combat global warming and climate change.’ By Jeff Poor

For only the second time in 85 years, Time magazine abandoned the traditional red border it uses on its cover. The occasion – to push more global warming alarmism.

The cover of the April 21 issue of Time took the famous Iwo Jima photograph by Joe Rosenthal of the Marines raising the American flag and replaced the flag with a tree. The cover story by Bryan Walsh calls green “the new red, white and blue.”

Donald Mates, an Iwo Jima veteran, told the Business & Media Institute on April 17 that using that photograph for that cause was a “disgrace.”

Time Magazine (amazingly, it’s still in print) has in recent years become a mouthpiece for the DNC and any liberal cause imaginable. That it pushes environmental alarmism is bad enough. That it simultaneously mocks an iconic photograph of the military is much worse.

One shouldn’t be surprised, however. Liberal hatred for the military is already well known.
