If the cover makes someone who is not usually attracted to international stories buy your magazine and they are still exposed to the story, how is that bad?

The problem is the implication: When we put the 'proper' topic on the cover, people won't buy our magazine because Arabs, war, debt and so forth, so let's put the coke-snort cover out there, but ONLY IN THE US because that's not really an issue in other countries.

The implication is that TIME doesn't assume people buy their magazine to get the big global stories out of them.

Maybe they're actually right, I don't know; might be a result of dwindling sales or something.

Funny...but sad

Why do people post these as some kind of revelation? Time's international business offices share a lot more content and almost always have the same cover story, whereas the US rarely shares content and cover stories with the international offices. You're just picking specific instances where the international news focuses on current events and the US news focuses on less high-brow matters. You can just as easily do the same in reverse
Well, yes, but if you click here http://www.time.com/time/magazine and then browse backwards, the 'controversial' topics shown in E/A/SP are not published in the US one and the moronic US ones are never published in other places. You won't see Europe claiming the debt problem is good for anyone.
I beg to differ, this was the second or third result I saw.

I've seen this pop up on tumblr a lot recently. I'm kind of baffled that people somehow consider this evidence that Time has to dumb down their content for the US.
 
Okay, you have to explain that one to me. Whats so funny about it?

[Superintendant Chalmers sees Principal Skinner's kitchen on fire]
Superintendant Chalmers: Good Lord, what is happening in there?
Principal Skinner: The Aurora Borealis?
Superintendant Chalmers: The Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?
Principal Skinner: Yes.
Superintendant Chalmers: May I see it?
Principal Skinner: No.

Great episode.
