TIME Glorifies Kamala as Media Rallies #Political
Ya gotta love it.
Long after the 2024 campaign enters the dustbin of history, the Time magazine cover story on Kamala Harris will shine through as a perfect example of just how the liberal “mainstream” media rallies when one of their own is newly front and center.
The current Time cover is a drawing/painting picturing the Democrat nominee as a cross somewhere between Miss America and a religious icon.
Understanding a challenge when he sees one, opponent Donald Trump quickly said the following when asked for comment. He replied, according to USA Today, as follows:
Trump complimented Harris’ cover image during an Aug. 12 interview with Elon Musk broadcast on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter.
He described her as a "beautiful woman," comparing her to his wife, former first lady Melania Trump.
"She looks like the most beautiful actress ever to live," Trump said. "It was a drawing, and actually, she looked very much like a great first lady, Melania."
“She didn’t look like Kamala, but of course, she’s a beautiful woman, so we’ll leave it at that,” Trump continued.
Question: Can you, dear reader, imagine how a Time cover would depict a conservative and Republican woman were one to be nominated for president or vice president?
No need to wonder.
Back there in the stone age of September 2008, here is the Time cover of newly minted GOP vice presidential nominee and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
Not a painting or drawing glorifying her attractiveness, the cover is instead a serious photo close up of the new nominee, glasses in place and no glorification.
Recall the Time headline for Kamala: “Her Moment.” As in…hurrah! Three cheers! Our female savior is here!”
For Governor Palin, on the other hand, the caption condescends:
The Education of Sarah Palin.
As if the GOP had reached out to some female yahoo who was in serious need of basic education.
This, in short, is how the liberal media plays the game. You’re a conservative, a Republican? Woman or man you will find yourself portrayed ever so slightly (or worse!) in negative fashion.
But if you’re a liberal? There can be no glorification that is enough to display your brilliance and attractiveness to the American public.
History records that this media double standard has been around for decades.
Recall that when he ran for president -- and was elected four times -- the crippled-from-polio Franklin D. Roosevelt had a quiet agreement with the media of the day.
Obviously getting in and out of a wheelchair is a physical difficulty, with FDR understandably needing help from others to accomplish getting in or out of his wheel chair going to or coming from some other place.
In fact, history records that in the day, if the Secret Service caught a photographer taking pictures of FDR with any indication of being assisted, their cameras were, in fact, summarily confiscated.
We’re a long way from the 1930’s and 1940’s. But, it seems, the liberal media desire to project a favorable if not quasi-religious image of Democrat leaders in the most favorable of images has gone nowhere - perhaps increasing. When Obama defeated McCain-Palin in 2008, Time's cover glorified him as....the New FDR.
