You're Not Helping

Michelle Malkin's junior blogging buddy, Doug Powers, isn't helping the conservative cause any by using a bogus Time Magazine cover in a post.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to get access to comment on the site to correct it. (oh, I see...you can't)

The lame post is here: The ‘We’re Gonna Freeze to Death Because of Global Warming’ Headline of the Day

Someone else got caught here but actually checked their work: In 1977 Time Magazine Warns Us Prepare For An Ice Age

You can find the un-Photoshopped original as well as see that there was no April 8, 1977 Time by searching their archives here: Time cover archives

And the unadulterated cover is here: April 9, 2007

Sheesh...yer makin' us look bad, pal.

UPDATE:

Sadly, Newsbusters has also picked up on this retread photoshop and, once again, the commenters buy in, many going so far as to claim they remember reading it...yes, a magazine that never existed. Sigh. At least in this case there are a few people toward the end that bop the others on the nose and point out that they've been suckered.

UPDATE:

Posts finally being pulled. Hopefully some 'I will better research my work' resolutions being made.
