Before Karl Rove got his job as columnist for Newsweek, he was looking for work at Time magazine, but was rejected, according to Radar Online.
Unlike Newsweek, Time appears to have standards:
Time's editors apparently felt the cost/benefit analysis wouldn't be in their favor if they embraced the man who has done more than anyone to keep the spirit of Joe McCarthy alive and well in American politics. (Read Joshua Green's definitive profile from the Atlantic in 2004.) "Time thought this wouldn't be like hiring George Stephanopoulos," my source explained. "They think Karl is essentially like an unindicted co-conspirator in a whole string of felonies."
