1. In his post, John Daly writes: “If Time were upfront about [its] bias, and presented itself as an ideological publication that courts liberal readers, there wouldn’t be a whole lot to discuss here. Openly conservative publications like National Review and Weekly Standard publish unflattering cover imagery of political opponents all the time. But Time still markets itself as a news source that doesn’t have any political skin in the game. Thus, stunts like this only serve to further damage the magazine’s credibility.” Do you agree with Mr. Daly's assertion? Explain your answer.

2. Reacting to Time’s cover photo of Jeff Sessions, Democratic commentator Yashar Ali wrote in a tweet: “One of the things I really don't like (and to the extent I can control it w/ my own stories, I do) is when news orgs pick unflattering photos to accompany their stories. There's no reason for it..and it's editorializing. If the person is bad news, let the story do the talking.” Do you agree with Mr. Ali's assertion? Explain your answer.

3. Why do you think Time Magazine ran such an unflattering image of Jeff Sessions on its cover?
