Media Matters juxtaposes two Time Magazine covers. One was from the edition following the 1994 congressional elections, whereby Republicans gained control of the House of Representatives and the Senate; the other is from the issue published following the 2006 congressional elections, in which Democrats gained control of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
There is rather a monumental difference in character, emotional emphasis, and quality of information on display, in editorial choices made for cover art and headline.
SPECIAL DEAL: Subscribe to our award-winning print magazine, a publication Bernie Sanders calls "unapologetically on the side of social and economic justice," for just $1 an issue! That means you'll get 10 issues a year for $9.95.
