Inside staff rebellion at Time magazine: Staff sabotaged 'worst ever' Trump cover...
now they're in crosshairs of billionaire owner
Behind the scenes at Time as laughing staff picked Trump's worst photo
When Donald Trump secured a historic peace deal that ended the war in Gaza, Time magazine tried to meet the moment with its traditional cover.
When Donald Trump secured a historic peace deal that ended the war in Gaza, Time magazine tried to meet the moment with its traditional cover.
Instead, it was dubbed, in the president's words, the 'worst photo ever taken'.
As all the living Israeli hostages were returned home and the shelling stopped, the outlet published a trailblazing photo of the 79-year-old alongside the words: 'His triumph'.
Trump appears to be looking up into a beam of light, in what editors may have considered a magisterial pose.
Commentary:
I honestly didn’t think the cover looked that bad, and apparently the article was pretty positive and complimentary. Nevertheless, if the photo choice was deliberately chosen to make Trump look bad, there should be consequences.
Our iconographers very carefully and conscientiously inform us poor rubes as to whom we should hate. They make it a point to catch the villains with an unflattering expression, a grimace, with mouth open, etc. When taking a picture of someone we must disdain, they hold the camera at belt level, to get an unflattering shot from below eye level.
Despite the glowing story, the cover earned the ire of the US president with criticism of his appearance
