Is Time Magazine prone to error in reporting, particularly on religious issues?

Question

as I understand it,

in the 1930s a reporter from TIme said how wonderful it was under Stalin
in the 1950s Time felt this Fidel guy in Cuba was terrific
today Hezbollah is somehow equated with Israels rifht to exist??? even though they seem to use civillians as shields and appear to used unethical means of fighting, even though they snatched soldier accross international boundaries?

and we learned Reuters and Time pulished photographs from Palestinian sourses that were doctored ... why are they so subject to error

or are they? what are your views?

Answer 1

Mark Twain said this about the press:

"If you do not read the newspapers, you are uninformed. If you do read the newspapers, you are misinformed."

I would say that the proverbs applies to Time magazine as well, only on steroids.

Answer 2

The "Free" press i.e. the Media is a multi billion dollar international business that is completely controlled from the top by special vested interests,. This empire includes all maimstream media networks, TV, newspapers, magazines.
The messages we get from these sources are predetermined
to manipulate public opinion along certain lines towards support the purposes, intestests and intentions of this very small number of individuals.
Time magazine is a prime example of this operation.
What you are observing has been in place since these networks were first created.
They never intended to report the facts, or accurately inform the general public in the first place.
What they are more interested in doing is interiorizing us and deliberately creating contraversy where none actually exists, and by constantly promoting how "dangerous" our environment is and how bad the "other guy" is, so we will be too scared to actually look for ourselves and communicate with "the other guy" to find out .
Religion is one of their prime targets.
Here's why:

A society is capable of surviving for thousands of years unless it is attacked from within or without by hostile forces. where such an attack occurs, the primary targets are it's religious and national gods and heroes,it's potential of leadership and the self respect and integrity of it's members.
If you look around you , you will find countless examples of these points. They scream at us every day from the newspapers and TV.
Probably the most critical point of attack on a culture is it's religious experience. Where one can destroy or undermine religious institutions then the entire fabiric of the society can be quickly subverted or brought to ruin.
For the last hundred years or so religion has been beset with relentless attack. You have been told it’s the “opiate of the masses “, that it’s unscientific, that it is primitive, in short , that it is a delusion.
The source of this kind of attack is always covert and hidden. It is promoted by a few who have a vested interest in a slave society.
Unfortunately these few rely on creating fear and insecurity in others
to forward and promote their enemy propaganda. These others feel correctly they have to defend themselves from an attack, but because the real enemy is hidden, they can be manipulated to attack what they really should be defending as they cannot see the real enemy.

The key here is that underneath all these attacks on organised religion there is one fundemental target:
The spirituality of man, your own basic spiritual nature, self respect and peace of mind.

These are my well investigated, observed and experienced views.

Answer 3

I cancelled my subscription to TIME years ago, I got sick of their atheist approach to everything. I think they have truly brilliant writers and their research is very good. But when you do not know that God is, and that you can trust Him....that sort of attitude will "flavor" everything you say. That's why I don't read the magazine anymore, "out of the heart, the mouth speaks", and TIME magazine has a very cold heart.

Answer 4

Time magazine is full of ****. It's not just religious things, but all sorts of things, like Science studies, and life in general. I hate Time Magazine.

Answer 5

Israel is the bully and aggressor in that area. I imagine Time is just reporting the truth.

Answer 6

It seems to me that they have their own slant to things and find evidence to support that view. It's very difficult to have no view of one's own, even if one is a good journalist. I don't appreciate their slant, so I don't buy their magazine.

Answer 7

They have a political agenda and not the truth. As such, they should be avoided unless you agree with their political agenda.
