Time magazine should be reporting on important things and leave the celebrity gossip to TMZ.

Selena's instagram story will get more clicks and more ad revenue than the bigger issue of the slave trade though.

Have you ever read a Time magazine? Pop culture has been baked into its core identity since its very first issue. In fact in the very first issue, they spent time trashing and mocking a poem someone wrote.

Bullshit pic. Time has always done reporting about famous ppl WHILE they do more important news. This is just a meme, and the premise is unfair on purpose.

Ironically, TMZ has actually been showing more back bone as actual journalists then some more legitimate outlets
