Jim, I wouldn't know, but I can tell you who is the ceo, and which side of home base he swings from.

he's been dead since 2005...


you can't name any right leaning writers because TIME doesn't have any of note...Ramesh Ponnuru as a contributor I guess .....but has... and has had many famously left leaning writers and staff of which and I'd be happy to name a whole slew, this, of course, means unbiased and probably right of center by any standard...right? good grief.....

2010

HOWARD KURTZ, HOST: Rick, you've just hired Fareed Zakaria, whose "GPS" program on CNN precedes mine. And you have, of course, Joe Klein, well-known liberal writer and columnist.

Now, with all the hiring that you've done, how have you not managed to find a conservative columnist?

RICHARD STENGEL, TIME EDITOR-IN-CHIEF: I would love to find one.

On September 12th, 2013 Stengel announced that he was be stepping down from his role as Time's managing editor in order to serve as Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs for President Barack Obama's cabinet.[

this is fascinating...from Stengel's WIKI bio

"The book has drawn praise from President Bill Clinton, Deepak Chopra, and Harvard's Henry Louis Gates Jr"

Henry Gates?....where do I know that name from????....small world....

"Time Senior Writer Nancy Gibbs, who recently compared Obama in Time to a prince born in a manger, championed Obama’s breaking the chains of religious conservatism in American life. His ascent marked "a growing consensus that something had gone wrong, that the phenomenon of politicians nailing campaign posters on the gates of heaven and laying exclusive claims to God’s designs was unwise, unfair, even unholy."

She even transformed Obama into a secular savior, leading "the kind of mass revivals that used to sweep across the prairie and set souls on fire... Obama was busy building a new church, looking for the seekers, those who had lost their faith in politics or never had any in the first place, and he invited them home."


Nancy Gibbs is now TIME's managing editor
