TIME Changes Front Cover Image Of Trump After Complaints That Iconic Image Is “Free PR”
Time magazine has changed its August cover from the now iconic image of Donald Trump raising his fist after surviving the assassination attempt after leftists complained that the image was helping his popularity.
In place of the image is now a monochrome picture of the evacuated rally site with a US flag in colour and the words “What Unites Us.”
What?
One of those images will go down in history and be used forever. The other simply won’t.
Time had even already written an explanation of why the image of Trump was so special:
One of those photographs, taken by Associated Press photojournalist Evan Vucci, was chosen to appear on the cover of TIME. The historical significance, the clear composition, the undeniable tension, all appearing in a singular image of an event that stunned the world.
Here’s what Vucci has to say about the moment …
‘It was a situation where that vast experience absolutely does [prepare you]. To have that experience behind you sort of allows you to remain calm. It wasn’t the first time I was in that situation. So I was able to keep my head, I was able to think. I was able to compose pictures. I think all of us were there and we just stayed in the moment, stayed on the story. In my head, I just kept saying to myself, ‘slow down, slow down. Compose, compose.’ Okay, what’s gonna happen next? What’s going on here? What’s going on there? Just trying to get every angle on it.”
Right. So why’d you replace it with an empty field full of trash then?
Indeed, as Axios reported, leftists in the media have been complaining that use of the photo is “free PR” for Trump and sharing it is “dangerous,” no matter how good it is.
Documenting history is apparently over rated.
What an absolute disgrace the corporate media is.
It’s surprising Time didn’t mock up a cover of Trump actually getting shot in the head, given the publication’s track record:
