What You Said About …

STEVE BANNON

Readers praised the reporting that went into David Von Drehle’s Feb. 13 cover story about the influence of President Donald Trump’s adviser. They were conflicted, however, about the cover, featuring a dramatic portrait by Nadav Kander. The image and wording were “trying to get people to think” of Bannon in a certain way, wrote L. Hoyt Miller of Cortez, Fla. Meanwhile, several professional architects objected to a teaser for the story in the table of contents, which called Bannon “the architect.” One of them, Danielle Fontaine of Greenville, S.C., said the characterization “saddened” her, even though the article was “otherwise enlightening.”

THE RESISTANCE

Karl Vick’s Feb. 6 cover story about the Women’s March and what’s next for the resistance movement struck a chord with readers. On Twitter, reader @jmflatham praised TIME for not focusing on “doom and gloom,” and Linda Law of Clemson, S.C.–who wished the piece spent more time focusing on smaller demonstrations in towns where “it takes more courage” to march–wrote that the movement has “only just begun.” Linda Mills Woolsey of Rushford, N.Y., lauded TIME’s attempt to show the complexity of the opposition. But she was critical of how we framed the protest as “brought to you” by Trump. The phrase, she wrote, signals “that if anything is happening in a culture it must be, ultimately, somehow the result of male being and action.”
