He looks great in that picture.

But what's it say on the inside?
Check it out here.
I was pleasantly surprised as I scrolled through the article.
would Time plant a subliminal gender seed on the same cover?
Since July the corporate media couldn't bring themselves to cover Bernie's surge, rallies or even interview him without bringing race into the equation, this is just a different tactic.
I like the pic, haven't read the Bernie article yet, nor the one about "why ambition isn't working for women" but they chose a rather macho image of Bernie and then planted a gender seed on the same cover.
As for the sarcastic "The media blackout continues" post to which you responded, I hardly think the first time that Time has put Bernie on the cover is any substantial refutation of the corporate media's long running historical blackout of him.
Hillary has pretty much lived on the cover of Time, these are only a few examples.

...then I looked to the bottom right and read the byline: "Why ambition isn't working for women". WTF??? Meaning we shouldn't be too strident and we should attract the flies with honey rather than vinegar? Now I'm pissed off! The Time Giveth and the Time taketh away.
Go Bernie Go! 
Great Cover. Great man. It's "Time" for a Bern notice.

Bwahaha.
Roll up those sleeves America...there is a crap load of work to do!
put it up on the wall. Socialize, indeed.
Maybe in 2016 man of the year? 
amended per Uncle Joe's request. He was apparently offended by the word biaches, and apparently didn't know that I am a female. :woodamnwho:
Sleeves rolled up, ready to get down to it.
to the ridiculous shots Time took of Paul Ryan, which were apparently intended to show how strong and athletic Ryan is:

Bernie is getting some overall positive name recognition but on another level I recognize dog whistle propaganda when I see it.
The word that "Socialize" replaces in the general American lexicon in this instance is "eat" as in "Eat this" a pejorative phrase or insult usually referring to male genitalia, sometimes in jest and sometimes not, combine that with a macho pic of Bernie and the lower right title to an article on page 52 titled "Why ambition isn't working for women."
Many more people will only see the cover compared to the numbers that actually read the article.
I'm thinking this may shift a tactic by the corporate media in attacking Bernie more on gender than as they've been doing since July tying every rally, positive poll number and even interviews with him to race, anything to take the subject off his message of inclusiveness and the critical issues affecting the American People.
I'm thinking the corporate media is still trying to frame or pigeonhole him, hoping it jells before his name recognition becomes too large for them to accomplish that feat.
The Time Cover straddles the line of increasing his name recognition but at the same time on a subliminal level having Bernie hurl a sexist insult to the American People, now who would benefit from creating gender division?
I suppose time will tell.
Peace to you
