I'm not a Time reader, but my impression is that the content was the same.

That is my question. Were the Euro-cover articles found in the US-cover editions?

It's not censorship, it's just that Time is smart enough to know most Americans do not give a good goddamn what happens in the rest of the world.
Which is why my weekly news periodical is The Economist.
Time's not entirely horrible, though; I read an issue every once in a while. After all, they DO *report* on the rest of the world in the US version; they just don't put it on the cover.

I find such things glaring at me every time I leave the USA. I'd love to have the real BBC news channels here, and real news in general. I find there are major stories hidden in the crawl on the bottom of the screen, while the talking heads rant about some rich dude possibly offing wife/girlfriend in Aruba for hours. \
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
