TIME magazine did not hold back when unveiling their most recent cover. The cover combining the White House and St. Basil’s Cathedral to further highlight the story on “Russia’s social media war in America.”
The article goes into depth about potential Russian influence on the 2016 Election. It brings up cyber hacking in the form of emails, digital agents, and social media, predominantly Twitter. This is just underlying groundwork for the ongoing battle on the information war against global democracy.
Some people are upset with the cover because of its seemingly blatant display of partisanship. Just like how some people are upset with Trump for his display of partisanship for Russia.

Imagine being an editor and thinking this is a responsible, non-hysterical thing to put on a magazine cover. https://t.co/pgk3Xr2Iys
