Time Magazine :: Surprising case of condescending bullshit

Apr. 30, 1965 - “... if he had read a newspaper since the test ban treaty was signed on Aug. 5, 1963, ...” *

The kind of condescending bullshit one would expect in some racist cracker southern rag, but it is rather jarring to see it printed by so-called “respectable journalists” in Time magazine‽

“..., he should have known to be passe.” *

If I were to be a condescending bullshit artist, I might write, “Isn't it rather ignorant to print passé without accute é‽”

* “He also allowed as how [sic] he didn't mind having fellow civil rights leaders speak out against the U.S.'s [sic] try-to-win policy in Viet Nam, spoke up against, of all things [sic], nuclear bomb testing—an issue that, if he had read a newspaper since the test ban treaty was signed on Aug. 5, 1963 [sic], he should have known to be passe [sic].”

If I were further to be a condescending bullshit artist, I might ask how it was that Time would have the clairvoyance to see that the test ban treaty would end all testing. (e.g. China, India, Pakistan, North Korea, & ... ???). Perhaps if Time's journalists or editors had read any newspaper since October 16, 1964 they may have had cause to question whether the test ban was holding‽
