Time hires The Note creator Mark Halperin.
Via Atrios, ABC’s former news director Mark Halperin — who calls Matt Drudge the “Walter Cronkite of his era” and believes the media is too liberal and that “we’ve got to fix that” by “prov[ing] to conservatives that we understand their grievances” — has been hired by Time magazine as an editor-at-large and senior political analyst. (He joins the magazine’s new columnist William Kristol.) Some of Halperin’s greatest hits HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.

Great, another dissembling right-wing shill.
I wouldn’t use Time Magazine to clean and roll a joint with, nevermind read.

April 30th, 2007 at 10:19 amAh, yes, the liberal media.
April 30th, 2007 at 10:27 amTime has truly degenerated from its once respected status.
not at all sorry i stopped my time supbscription…
April 30th, 2007 at 10:28 amthe coulter cover was bad enough, but a 2nd dubya as ‘person of the year’ was the proverbial straw…
un-frickin’-believable.
April 30th, 2007 at 10:29 amAfter watching Bill Moyer’s “Buying the War” — I realize now that the intrepid reporters (the deep throats) are being put out to pasture : now it’s the age of the paid pundits. Pseudo-journalism, if you will.
Liberal media, my ass.
April 30th, 2007 at 10:37 amTime magazine has decided to commit suicide with the Bush Regime. Very very sad!
April 30th, 2007 at 10:39 amI do hope Time and their corporate conglomeration parent enjoys their trip to the dark side. I long ago gave up on the tradition media as sources of real news. They are beyond irrelevant to folks who know how to think for themselves.

April 30th, 2007 at 10:48 amHow much time does Time magazine have left anyway? These Internet tubes seem to be taking away from all the old school publications, leaving only 70 year old, O’Rielly loving white men to read toilet paper like Time magazine.
April 30th, 2007 at 10:57 amTime Magazine: The rag that brought you such person’s of the year as: GW ‘00 and ‘04, Guliani ‘01, Newt ‘95, Sadat ‘77, Stalin ‘39 & ‘42, and Hitler ‘38.
There have been a few other worthless human pieces of shite as well, but they weren’t despicable enough to make person of the year.
April 30th, 2007 at 11:00 amI haven’t read Time in years, so it will be easy to continue with that.
April 30th, 2007 at 11:16 amWhoe even reads Time or Newsweek anymore? They are overpriced (even with the ’special offers’ they keep sending) and not worth reading. All the columnists I used to like have gone on-line, and there is very little news – it’s all pop culture and social theory. The only thing worth reading is Anna Quindlin every other week, and I can do that at the library or on-line.
April 30th, 2007 at 11:19 amI know neocons who consider Time magazine the epitome of left-wing thought . . . which just demonstrates how far to the Right they are.
April 30th, 2007 at 11:30 amMy parakeet has been constipated ever since I started lining his cage with Time magazine. This’ll probably kill ‘em.
April 30th, 2007 at 11:33 am“Time” to cancel my subscription.
April 30th, 2007 at 11:45 amWe must all educate our children about the ways of this world… if we leave it to the media our children will be turned into rightwingers.
April 30th, 2007 at 12:18 pmThe Zionist Neo-Conservatives are running the armed madhouse.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:07 pmAre Zionist Neo-Conservatives running the propaganda machine?
April 30th, 2007 at 1:09 pmDoes TP block reference to Z I O N I S T S? Seems they are the brains behind Neo Conservatism and the Invasion of Iraq. Also seems they are the brains behind the worst of the White House propaganda spin.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:15 pmLooks like the Time is right. Ouch.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:38 pmWhy should this be any surprise? Just look at what’s happened to CNN over the last six years. What’s the common connection between Time and CNN? Why, their ownership is the same – TIME Warner. So, what’s the surprise. They’re just making sure that one of the boys is landing in the promised sinecure.
April 30th, 2007 at 1:43 pmWe’re letting our Time subscription expire this summer – with sadness for what was, and we depended upon. They will be told WHY.
I will not continue to pay for such as Kristol & Halperin to come into our house. (Our house & land is a Bush Free Zone.)
By not offering objective, in-depth, curiosity based reporting, Time is preparing it’s own funeral. They want to cut news positions, these latest moves under the new editors will do it; as true reporters, if not laid off, will leave out of disgust.
We have turned to sites such as TP, as we have not found reliable news elsewhere.
Journalism schools should stop cranking out graduates – there are no places of employment left.

April 30th, 2007 at 4:44 pmSo Time is now only 15 years behind the times, as opposed to 20-30, so I guess that puts them right in the vanguard of the msm by today’s low, low standards.
April 30th, 2007 at 6:28 pmIncredible. Yet par for the course. And hey, don’t forget that other titan of journalistic ethics who also recently joined Time – former New Republic editor Peter Beinart, one of the subjects of Moyers’ “Selling the War” documentary.
Here’s the great journalist defending how he came to make such bold statements as, “We need a little bit of logistical support, but we don’t need the moral support of anyone, because we’re on the side of the angels in this”:
P.S.
