Demand answers from Time magazine

The Time editors responsible for Joe Klein's "Shameful Journalism" arrogantly refuse to account for what they did.

    Accountability Moment

    I wonder if Time really cares about all this stuff at all.

    It depends on how they view their image, their product, and their interests.

    It just might be that they don't care at all if the 5 percent of Americans who care enough about politics to follow this story all realize that Time is more invested in grand narratives than factual accuracy.

    There are millions of Americans who don't know, and will be pleased to read Klein, and Time, regardless.

    That doesn't mean we should all just give up, but I do wonder how much Time cares about accuracy. It's not clear that there's any particular reason to think that they do.

    Thanks for your hard work on this, Glenn.
