New York Magazine's front page on Americans' health sparks reactions

This is something that is sure to get people talking. New York Magazine She chose to show the presidential candidates, Donald Trump and Joe Biden, to promote her special issue dedicated to health. We discover the two men in their underwear, one in boxers, the other in long pants, sitting on a scale side by side. It is of course a montage but everything has been thought out down to the smallest detail. For example, the Republican candidate's orange tan (often mocked) is particularly highlighted by the contrast between his face, neck and arms and the rest of his very white body.

In the commentary, the magazine mainly refers to the problem of the current president's health condition. We just learned that he (in addition) tested positive for Covid.Several articles in the issue were devoted to questions about President Biden's health and the “conspiracy of silence” surrounding him. Most recently, actor George Clooney was the one who called on him to withdraw from the race so as not to lose the election to the Republican camp.

Meanwhile, the issue explores other health issues such as errors associated with mammograms that miss some tumors or advances in immunotherapy research.

But this cover choice seems far from unanimous. In the comments, several people criticized the choice of this image in the middle of the countryside, both for what it reflects and for the editorial principle itself. “What a disgusting decision to cover this up. We can now point to the media’s contribution to making the US a laughingstock to the world,” “It’s not too late to delete this post,” “This is incredibly disrespectful and I can only assume it was generated using AI. It makes me worry about the precedent this is setting here. Did both parties agree?”, “A photo I never wanted to see,” “Did I really need to do this cover? It’s pointless. Wrong choice,” “This is absolutely ridiculous. Is this the kind of thing we’re putting on the front page now? This is so embarrassing for our country. My God.”

For others, New York Magazine He only points to the aging problem of those who are running for the most important title in the country: “The truth hurts but we are witnessing a display of aging,” “These men who can barely keep themselves alive are in charge of an entire nation and both are completely delusional and mentally unfit to be in charge of a country let alone a pet. The media is only aware of the already ridiculous direction this country has taken.”
