1. Stunning

Although our global corporate overlords will soon be selling the same crap to overseas markets as they do here.

[Enthusiast]

55. This is precisely the sort of propaganda

the people endured in Nazi Germany leading up to the war.

[Fumesucker]

2. I for one welcome our new subtle and devious overlords.

[Rex]

3. Of course! They don't think of us as sheeple.

They just use us like sheeple. The paymasters act is wearing very thin and I think they are about to take a real nosedive into what I like to call Hard Reality.

[Spazito]

4. Geez, if that isn't the stark reality showcasing...

the dishonesty of the American media.

Appalling.

[lunatica]

5. What's a Revolution Redux?

And we're to believe our anxiety is good for us? Or is good for Wall Street since they're causing it?

[Courtesy Flush]

17. Beatings will continue until morale improves. nt

[MedleyMisty]

21. The revolution redux

refers to what's going on in Egypt and their current fight against SCAF.

[alphafemale]

6. "Anxiety is GOOD for you"

Hello...Well if that ain't all the cake on the frosting!

[Lorien]

16. Ooooh, please make healthcare even MORE unaffordable

'cause all the anxiety from not being able to have any will heal all of my ills! :sarcasm: < as if it were needed.

69. Time is doing a series.

The next one is "Cancer, How It Makes You Closer To Your Family", then "Cardiac Arrest, Best Thing Going!", and then "How Having A Stroke Made My Life Better", then finally, "Having Affordable Health Care Is Over-Rated!".

[Odin2005]

83. Yeah, THAT pissed me off, too.

It's proven that anxiety is NOT good for you, chronic elevated cortisol levels causes damage to tissues.

[Fire Walk With Me]

7. Appalling.

[Duer 157099]

8. Anxiety is good for big pharma

So if "you" means them, then I agree.

Anxiety (aka STRESS) kills. Sometimes quickly but most often slowly.

[immoderate]

13. Not exactly. When I took psychology...

According to theory, anxiety is the basic psychic energy that drives an organism that leads it to satisfy those drives. In short, no anxiety -- no activity.

Stress comes from the inability to shed anxiety, a frustration of the ability to "work it out," by productive means.

25. The story of my life!

Works for me! (Always has)

[liberation]

65. "Psychic energy"

uh huh...

[immoderate]

86. In psychoanalytic terms, it would be the id.

Whatever is the basic motivation to live. Even you have it.

[EC]

9. I'm guessing the second uprising in Egypt is more

"newsy" in Europe and Asia then it would be here, but what's with the Anxiety bull-shit...? Is it telling us that everything in the USA is done to keep us healthy through constant anxiety?

[tuvor]

10. Well, that went right up on my facebook page. n/t

[Shanti Mama]

58. Me too.

[RufusTFirefly]

11. Shades of Newsweek, a few years back

[Zorra]

12. Great post. Wow. That is the definitive statement on American Mainstream Media.

Support OWS.

The Revolution will not be reported.

Except maybe everywhere but here and Uganda.

[patrice]

14. wow.

19. Social engineering was never this fun!

[rocktivity]

20. And you can BUY the U.S. cover too!

Whatta country!

[paparush]

22. Here's another on to chew on....

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/0,9263,7601111024,00.html

[progressoid]

24. Yep - don't want too many voters to be informed about these things.

:banghead:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

26. Depressing

[glinda]

41. yup

[cyberpj]

35. I remember others during Bush terms too. And TIME saying it wasn't unusual for them to do this.

So I wonder how to find out just how often it HAS happened and what the big story was each time.

[RainDog]

42. Time regularly has an American cover story/picture that's more soporofic

I noticed this when I used to visit relatives overseas. Time on the news stand in the U.S. was diff. than the one in Europe. I also found that people in Europe were better informed, on avg. than most Americans.

religion and the right wing were not as pervasive, tho conservatives have gained some traction in Europe since 911.

[Marr]

46. When you look at things like that-- international media and how it's handled

differently for the US market, I mean-- it's clear that Americans get a sales pitch at all times, not news or honest analysis.

[Enthusiast]

52. We Americans are like children. We are kept from the truth for our own good.

[L0oniX]

23. Looks like Time has been Fox'd.

[Enthusiast]

53. There is no U.S. media unaffected by fascism, including MSNBC.

They control it all. They just maintain that tiny bit of accuracy as to have plausible deniability with the............right wing media.

[Odin2005]

84. TIME was founded by a RW mogul who hated FDR, it's always been "Fox'd".

[alp227]

27. Pop psychology sells!

[UrbScotty]

29. More telling than the mere fact that the US cover is different, is the MESSAGE

...that the US cover story is trying to convey.

Go ahead, be anxious!

[Courtesy Flush]

36. Yes, fear for your future. It's good for you. nt

[FreakinDJ]

30. "Land of the Free" cough cough

[ooglymoogly]

31. Or as George Orwell would say......Oh wait, that is exactly what he would say. Kr nt

[unkachuck]

32. K&R....anxiety may be good for you, but revolution is better....n/t

[ooglymoogly]

33. Time Magazine....You have been punked!!! Oh wait.... Time magazine; you have been exposed

for the lying, deceitful tools that you are....take your propaganda and shove it.

[nadinbrzezinski]

34. Color me surprised, NOT

that they are doing this AGAIN.

[Fokker Trip]

37. Holy Cow.

Yes everyone Anxiety is really good for you, now WORK HARDER and keep your heads down. A quite worker is a happy worker. Cripes-a-mighty

[MrMickeysMom]

38. One more reason not to read Time

I've got enough reasons to roll my eyes to what passes as newspapers and tee vee.

[bertman]

39. UN-frickin' believable!! Thank you for posting this. REC. nt

[Better Believe It]

40. The Next Cover: Why Dumpster Diving Can Be Healthy and Nutritious

[MorningGlow]

67. It's been done

The hipsters that go dumpster diving for dinner (and eat like kings)

Some people will do anything for a free meal.

That even includes diving into the nearest dumpster in search of food treasures tossed as trash.

A bunch of hipsters in Brooklyn, New York, came up with the rather grubby way of filling their bellies when they discovered that grocery chains often toss expensive food simply because it is still left on the shelf at the end of the day.

Dumpster-diving college student Ashley Fields, 23, of Bushwick, told the New York Post: 'Doing this saves me hundreds of dollars a month on groceries.'

43. They're still around??? - K&R n/r

[Jamastiene]

44. That picture speaks volumes.

K&R

[yurbud]

45. stunning

[TorchTheWitch]

47. Shit almighty does this ever piss me the fuck off

Partially because of the obvious difference in the cover story but also because of this outrageous claim that anxiety is good for you. Christ on the cross, anxiety has been the plague of my entire life and has kept me from living fully like normal people can. No, negative thoughts and the accompanying physical symptoms are not fucking good for you.

Crap, I could scream.

[Generic Other]

48. Our corporate rulers are way too obvious

Of course, if they pass the internet piracy thing -- SOPA -- we will all be arrested for viewing the copyrighted covers illegally. We won't even be aware it happened.

[defendandprotect]

49. Amazing -- but does anyone actually read TIME/garbage?

[Quantess]

71. Dentist offices, maybe.

I'd rather read the national enquirer, personally.

[WildNovember]

50. Does anyone actually read TIME anymore? Last time I tried it seemed

it had turned into People magazine for news. Lots of short info-tainment type stuff.

[Enthusiast]

54. That is not the point............nt

[Enthusiast]

51. Unbelievable............nt/kr

[4dsc]

56. Someone is very scared

Oh my. This is amazing to see. Someone doesn't like what' going on around the world. Someone is very scared.

[humanityisfree]

57. what do you expect?

Its "Go and buy a bunch of plastic shit you will use for 2 weeks" season - lets not sully it up with actual news of the day.

[fascisthunter]

59. and yet, the religious fanatics feel oppressed in the US

and everywhere else around the globe. They like the greedy, never can get enough. They must control everything, and yet they have no control over their own greed and selfishness. This country is controlled by very sick individuals...

[OnyxCollie]

60. K&R. nt

[liberal N proud]

61. The best propaganda money can buy

[Auggie]

62. K&R

[grantcart]

63. Seeing this makes me anxious

Knowing that no one actually reads TIME anymore takes away the anxiety.

[sarchasm]

64. Conclusion: Only in America.

[UTUSN]

66. Time knows the U.S. isn't grown up. Explains all the Jeebus covers. n/t

[riverwalker]

68. Nothing to see there in Egypt, move along now..

move along, nothing to see..in fact, go shopping.

The PTB tremble every time we observe a courageous people shaping their own destiny with their own hands. Which is why $2.00 waffle irons at Walmart are today's big story.

[npk]

70. Well I'm on the edge of my seat

I can't wait to hear more about this anxiety thingy. Well done TIME.

[tooeyeten]

72. That "librul" media

On Monday, Scarborough will be up Halpern's butt.

[Uncle Joe]

73. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Courtesy Flush.

[tavalon]

74. Welcome to why I get my news from guardian and al Jezeera english

[judesedit]

75. That's why I don't buy their mag anymore and stopped my mother's subscription, too. She agreed.

More Dumbing Down of America. Look it up. Are you surprised?

[woo me with science]

76. Bought and paid for media, Congress, and Presidency.

Support OWS.

[Yavapai]

77. Thank you for this!

Turned it into an email for everyone on my list.

Reich Minister of Propaganda in Nazi Germany Joseph Goebbels would be so damn proud.

[AsahinaKimi]

78. Cover speaks volumes

As to Where we are today! The Iron curtin has been erected.. and its all around us!

[Blue_Tires]

79. I mentioned the same phenomenon with CNN

I was in Germany last summer and got to watch CNN International for a week -- I could NOT believe they were in any way related to the American one we know so well...It was just straight news on a global scale, in-depth analysis and the corporate spin was kept to a minimum...No fluff, sensationalist celeb-humping, no screechy Nancy Grace or any of that...

If Americans had ANY idea of the quality CNN could deliver instead of the dumbed down wannabe Fox shit, there would be a riot

[woo me with science]

80. Kick nt

[Liberal_in_LA]

81. amazing

[Odin2005]

82. IIRC, Time Magazine was founded by a pro-Fascism businessman.

88. They treat us like children

But in this Internet age, we will use the tools of communication to shame them.
