Every time I see a pic of her wistfully lookin up the mental image that always
comes to mind is that of a caption bubble above her that says "If I only
had a brain", ripped straight outta The Wizard of Oz

They also ran this one.
I'm not saying there's not bias; I'm sure there is (and I also don't care
because fuck I'm sick to death of US politics) but of 36 Trump Time covers they
weren't all negative either.

Pulse, I get it, I'm sure you cats down under get waay more of our political
goings on flooding the news cycle than you care for. Hell, even we Americans get
sick of it too, but what most of us with more than a cuppla brain cells still
kickin around upstairs are really sick of are the blatant lies,
mischaracterizations and outright manipulation of what is the truth ... from ANY
side of the political spectrum and most especially from the news media
itself.
If anyone thinks there "might" be political bias going on I'd venture
a guess that that same bias exists in those holding such a position or that
they're just totally inept at discerning actual reality from fantasy. I'd put
forward that anyone trying to hold a neutral position and viewing news reporting
in general would easily see the level of bias on display.
Back to your point in relation to Time magazine covers featuring Donald Trump, I
actually looked up all 36 of them and here's a breakdown/synopsis of their basic
positions:
Trump shown in a positive manner - 10
Trump shown in a negative manner - 12
The rest were a mixed bag of topical covers related to him and were basically
neutral.
Now the above accounting doesn't really tell the whole tale of what was on
display, nor just how vicious the negative images were. Some were kinda tongue
in cheek while others were outright condescension and psychologically tainted
imagery designed to elicit a strong negative emotional reaction in the
viewer.
Conversely I found 5 Time covers featuring Kamala and each one shows her in a
positive way.
So, if you wanna make a case for how there "might" be a bias in even
just this one scenario I'd welcome a presentation of said position
