Man. CNN just can’t catch a break these days!
Today, thanks to some help from The Hollywood Reporter, they’re in trouble again:
The future of media looks like this.

And that’s just a taste of the backlash! There’s lots, lots more where that came from.
Although, as Commentary’s Noah Rothman points out, maybe all the people pissed off at the lack of women on the cover should be more upset about an even more egregious omission:
