got my Time--am cancelling my subscription

[skjpm]

I thought I'd do it today in hope that there's a bunch of us. My Mom tore up the cover as soon as she looked at it-spoiled my plans for a dart board. You know, it doesn't help to know that Hitler and Stalin were also on the cover--they may have been evil, but they weren't incompetent. And they had to work their way to the top. Bush only got to be Antichrist because of his father's connections.

1. Also, Hitler and Stalin were vilified. This article,

from what I gather, has a positive spin to it - talking about his leadership and....oh nevermind, I can't go on. I'm cancelling mine, too.

2. The story on Bush is a fluff piece too

Even though they say that it isn't necessarily an honor to be chosen Person of the Year--the story seems highly complimentary to me.

5. Also cancelled

Goddess40's mom here. I cancelled both Time and Newsweek after the election. Told them I would consider resubscribing when they quit beating the drums for *.

3. Gave up on Time years ago.

The only weekly I have a subscription to is "The New Republic". Though they seem to be entrenched with the DNC.

4. I'm rippng the cover off to send with my letter back to them.

While I do note their justification and can't argue over Bush's* impact, the fact is that just having him on the cover ADDS to his impact. If they had any social conscience for themselves, their kids, for others, I think they would have stopped this practice of "celebrating" individuals for their impact, good or BAD. It is a copout, after all, given that their sychophantic "reporting" has enabled this SOB for the past 4+ years.

6. Cancelled. After throwing it in the fire.

7. How to cancel it on line

Not too difficult ...

www.time.com/customerservice.

Make sure you leave the . in after customerservie as the link won't work without the . at the end FYI.

:toast:

8. I wonder how many people will do this?

It looks like a bunch of us are--maybe it's a groundswell.

[happynewyear]

9. I hope so!

It was a whole lot easier than having to be on hold waiting to tell some idiot why when, etc. etc. ad infinitum ... lol! :D

[Bluebear]

10. Thank you for the link, just cancelled my subscription

And I get 13 bucks back to boot.

'I will consider renewing my subsciption when you stop joyously beating the Bush drumbeat. Enjoy your person of the year's second term. Why not just save us the suspense and name him person of EVERY year!'

[MasonJar]

11. I wish I could cancel, but I refuse to support Time in any way. Be

sure to let them know exactly why!

12. Clinton was person of the year, too, right? n/t

[neuvocat]

13. Yes he was.

14. and your point is?

go ahead & take your shot, 22 posts.

[burpsalot]

16. No point,

I just couldn't remember.

[secedeeconomically]

15. Don’t underestimate Stalin’s incompetence lol

[Serra]

17. We got our Time today too...

My dad took out the mail, saw the cover and then almost shouted "pornography!" as he threw it in the trash...

[quinnox]

18. Would do the same

if I had a sub. to Time. I think they have had a Republican slant for years though.

19. Who Gives A Rat's Ass Anyway About This Man of the Year BS?

This particular acknowledgement that Time magazine has been giving for too many years has never made any kind of sense to me anyway. I view the whole thing as just a gimmick on Time's part to jack up the sale of the magazine late in the year during "holiday" season.
They at Time would like to believe that this is a weighty event that everyone anxiously awaits and it really has some "meaning". Please--let's just get over it. It means about as much as which models make it to the SI cover in the swimsuit edition.

20. Get a subscription to Harper's. They've got a good editorial on fraud

in this January's new issue and several other very interesting articles. Have a feeling they might be setting the stage for more focus on the election fraud. We'll see. I might renew my subscription if that proves to be the case. I'd planned to drop it.
