Default Are you still hung up on a 42 year old right-wing news rag?

That was verbatim from the article. Al Gore must mix a bad ass batch of

Umm, Time has never been right-wing you idiot.



Nightly discussions of the concept of a news magazine led the two, both
age 23, to quit their jobs in 1922. Later that same year the two formed
Time Inc. It is said that the two originally thought of TIME Magazine
during their time in the "tomb" of Skull and Bones...By the mid 1960s,
Time Inc. was the largest and most prestigious magazine publisher in the
world. ...
Luce, who remained editor-in-chief of all his publications until 1964,
maintained a position as an influential member of the Republican
Party.[2] Holding anti-communist sentiments, used Time to support
right-wing dictatorships in the name of fighting communism. An
instrumental figure behind the so-called "China Lobby", he played a
large role in steering American foreign policy and popular sentiment in
favor of Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek and his wife Soong Mei-ling
in their war against the Japanese. (The Chiangs appeared in the cover of
Time eleven times between 1927 and 1955.[3])
It has been reported that Luce, during the 1960's tried LSD and reported
that he had talked to God under its influence.[4]
