Time magazine's parent company is a top donor to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign — a factor that may help explain the publication's
obsession with blaming Russian president Vladimir Putin for "rigging" the U.S. presidential election.
This year, alone, Time Inc., the organization behind
Time — one of the most prestigious American weekly news magazines in history —
donated nearly $15,000 to the Clinton campaign. A second organization, Time Warner, which was deeply tied to
Time until 2014, is also a major Clinton fan. The company
gave her campaign $327,308 in individual contributions in 2016, alone.
But perhaps most telling of the organization's preferences is the presence of Nancy Gibbs as
Time's managing editor. At the tender age of 53, she "
shattered a glass ceiling" by taking over for
Richard Stengel, who in 2013 "[stepped] down from his news magazine job to join the Obama administration at the Department of State," Politico reported.
Gibbs is a competent writer, whose
impressive resume includes writing for
Time for 28 years. This makes her "one of the most published writers in the history of the magazine, having been an essayist and lead writer on virtually every major news event of the past two decades," according to Magazine.org.
