It's not a great choice for the cover of a news magazine because it's like a film noir shot. But I don't think it makes him look any more scary than the other magazine
I dont think their intent was to make him look more scary, I think they were trying to make him look more black, which makes TIME magazine look kinda racist in most peoples opinions

Yup, they all do it. But they should also be called out on it when they do

That can be interesting, I remember when our very early color TV needed adjusting for awhile. Green Fonzie was better than The Munsters...
Just out of curiosity, what did the Hulk and Bill Bixby look like?

It's sad and on a personal level hurtful. Many of us used to tune into CNN for years when it was a much more trustworthy news source.
It must be sad when your belief in the conspiracy theories and lies of the ridiculoutright are exposed. It ruins your fantasies.

It would seem that the news consumers are onto the CNN.

That proves that the average person isn't too smart.

Guaranteed that more educated people/college grads watch CNN. Fox is attractive for people who like it dumbed down.

Fox News is bullshit as well. They are both just as bad as each other. Fox and CNN are opinion journalism at it's worst.

CNN has not been news for many years. It is opinion entertainment. If it is true that more uni grads watch it then we are in trouble. But it is very apparent that people will watch what they agree with. Same with the internet. People will search from site to site until they find one that agrees with them. It's the biggest problem in society today. How can we learn if we don't expand our thoughts? How can we learn and progress if we don't look at situations from different angles? How many times in life have you been so sure of something to find out later that you were wrong? How can everybody think that they are right ALL the time? People on both left and right need to really listen to each other's points and think them out. My experience is that most people can't see the forest for the trees. Listening to other view points gives you a wider angle to see the forest.

I wouldn't dare try to defend Joe Rogan. The guy's an overpaid orangutan.
But clearly anyone who would post a photo of Rogan not looking buff and tanned and the most handsomest man in the world is posting fake news.
To his 'supporters'.

I could not agree with you more.

Shouldn't this thread be in the politics forum? I come to the Lounge to read about people's favourite sitcoms and porn-star trivia. People need some respite from angry conspiracy mongering. Leave us alone.
Which lady has won the AVN Female Performer of the Year award the most times?
