The outlet used to print flattering photos of the ailing Democratic president, Russias Foreign Ministry spokeswoman has said
TIME magazine's latest cover celebrating US President Donald Trump's Middle East diplomacy sharply contrasts with the way it used to promote his Democratic predecessor, Joe Biden, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.
The magazine used a photo of Trump showing the president from a low angle, emphasizing his chin folds, for a cover story marking what it called his "triumph" in brokering a ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas. Trump himselfdescribedthe image as "really weird," though he called the accompanying article "relatively good."
"Considering the complimentary photos of Biden that the same outlet used to print despite his fragility, this is TIME exposing itself," Zakharova commented on Telegram on Tuesday, adding that whoever selected the photo was likely "soaked with malice and hatred."
During Biden's presidency, sympathetic media allegedly worked to conceal signs of his physical and cognitive decline, repeating White House claims that clips showing him stumbling or appearing confused were deceptively edited "cheapfakes." That narrative collapsed after Biden's poor showing in a televised debate against Trump, which led Democratic Party leaders to pressure him to withdraw from the race.
TIME printed Biden on its cover multiple times, including in June 2024 for a story titled 'If He Wins' detailing his ultimately-aborted presidential campaign. The then president was shown in a black-and-white photo in the Oval Office.
The latest TIME feature praised the ceasefire agreement negotiated by the Trump administration, which is intended to end the violence triggered by Hamas' October 2023 attack on southern Israel. The truce, endorsed at an international conference in Egypt, has been hailed by several Arab states as a diplomatic breakthrough.
