throw away all those silly fashion mags, Time and Newsweek

In this day of internet information as there are plenty of unfiltered news and presumption. Therefore when using references thru the net it is does necessary to verify the information. There are information to draw from internet but your education cannot be taught by internet...Verified information is what you need to draw conclusion at J1 n J2.
Time magazines are divided into domestics, European and Asia edition. Time Asia has been reporting from Asia for 60 years.....Time Asia headquarter is located in Hong Kong much of the field writers, foreign correspondences, writers or newsdesk some are probably HK residents n expat working in Hong Kong.
Nevertheless, Time Asia edition circulation is still in Asia. Thus there is still a need to satisfied Readers in Asia....U can't totally be so bias to toss the cultured out the door as intended Asia readers would need to associate themselved with the articles.
At the end of the Day Time Asia still need Sales and Circulation....so how to balance bias vs aspiration of its people from entire " Asia " Not only Singapore.
Rather than developing preconception conclusion if news are bias because it touch on presumption. At J1, J2 why not reflect upon your view as a gauge to measure the partiality between your view vs Time Asia edition.
A magazine company cannot exist itself for so long without credible information on the Table.
to tell you the truth, my friends and i ordered TIME, we found the magazine to be utterly useless. wasted my $200. you can read the same stuff on time.com if you really want. dont depend on them for gp, youre better off buying stuff like hwa chong's "for and against" gp book and finding your own substantiations and examples from the net to support their arguments inside for gp topics that youre interested in....
dun be a cock can.
who reads time for gp.
omigosh, such toopidity.
