Letter: Time magazine shows full media bias

When Time magazine placed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on their cover as Persons of the Year they insulted hundreds of thousands of doctors, nurses, other medical personnel and the many first responders who have been in the trenches caring for us during this terrible, devastating pandemic.
Instead, they put on a person who spent almost the entirety of his campaign in his basement at home. And a vice presidential candidate who could not engender sufficient public or fiscal support to even enter the formal campaign period. Whose condemnation of the new president during the pre-campaign selection was of a nature to exhibit true bile and hatred.
Time has once more displayed the full bias of the media today. Their total lack of ethics or journalistic concern for the truth and attention to facts. They are less a professional publication today than more the prostitute of the printed word.
