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 . .

Time magazine hits new low. Ping to Today show list.
Time is the anti-Christ.
evil MSM ping
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.
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.
I think I’m going to start up a subscription to Time, just so I can cancel it.
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.
Time to die.

I don’t admire Billy Graham, nor does it matter where the M is located. Some folks need a life.
Yeah, I don’t have an ounce of intelligence. You’re right. Thanks for pointing that out.
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.

Thanks, I’ll try to get a life. I appreciate the suggestion.
No, just the Anti-Christ’s loyal servant.
Actually, it makes him look more like Batman.
*Yawn*
Move along, nothing to see here.
