'Time' Puts Horns on the Reverend Billy Graham

Could there possibly be an American who doesn't admire the Reverend Billy Graham? Apparently, yes. Have a look at the cover of this week's 'Time.' Of all the ways the editors might have positioned the logo, they managed to do so in a manner in which the 'M' in 'TIME' is transformed into horns protuding from the good reverend's head.

Tucker Carlson and Willie Geist took up the matter on Tucker's MSNBC show this afternoon.

View video here.

MSNBC'S WILLIE GEIST: A guy who has advised presidents, the Reverend Billy Graham on the cover of Time Magazine this week. I know the media is secular, but do they have to rub it in? A nice picture there of the reverend praying, but look at the horns above his head. A not-so-subtle message that maybe he's, well, Satan incarnate.

MSNBC HOST TUCKER CARLSON: That is actually . . .. Have people complained about that? Because that's unbelievable.

GEIST: Yeah, there's some chatter on the internet right now, and there's sure to be more.

Glad to oblige.

Just when you thought the MSM couldn't possibly sink any lower.

Note: when Viagra put horns on a man's head in a recent ad campaign, the FDA ordered the images yanked from the air. So what the government considered inappropriate in a Viagra ad, 'Time' considers appropriate in a depiction of the Rev. Billy Graham . .

According to the link you provide, the viagra ads were pulled “because they failed to disclose known risks associated with the drug.” It didn’t have anything to do with the horns.

In the old cliche “to put horns on someone” meant to commit adultery with his wife.

Yep, I'm sure it's all an evil plot to make Graham into the Devil!

Really, this is reaching to the nth degree.

Wow, that’s pathetic! There’s no way that’s an accident. Even if it was incidental to begin with, there’s no doubt it had to be noticed before the cover was anywhere near a printing press.

What do you expect from Marxists, Leninists, Socialists, Communists, God hating, slime of liberal pigs? They are what they are - - - garbage slime in the bottom of an unwashed, well used, garbage can. Stink included.

I think I’m going to start up a subscription to Time, just so I can cancel it.

Oh, c'mon. We are always chastizing the left for seeing demons where there are none (the "Rats" controversy); let's not stoop to their level of conspiracism.

Also, the imaginary horns aren't in the proper plane that they would be if this was deliberate. This isn't worth anyone's time who has an ounce of intelligence.

With respect, I don’t think you realize the extent to which major mags like Time scrutinize their covers for every possible detail and implication. That of all the possibilities, the horns just happened to protrude from the Rev.’s head is no coincidence.

I don’t admire Billy Graham, nor does it matter where the M is located. Some folks need a life.

Of course. You’re right.

Time just had some rookie intern cut and past a cover photo with no proof-editing.

Sure. Could happen to anyone.
