New York Magazine's latest health edition has stirred controversy by featuring a photoshopped image of incumbent President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump in shorts on the cover. The magazine has come under fire for the edition as it compares the health of the two political rivals.

Critics have called the photo inappropriate and unethical and condemned the magazine's depiction.

The magazine defends its cover

In defense of its cover, New York Magazine argued that it was intended to highlight the public's interest in the age and health of both Biden and Trump. Despite the magazine's justification, reactions on social media have been overwhelmingly negative, with many calling the images offensive.

A user commented that making this cover is a very disgusting decision. We can point to the media's contribution in making America a joke in front of the world.

Editorial justification

Genevieve Smith, executive editor of New York magazine, said the publication was considering how to address the health issue in the midst of a presidential campaign. She said the health and age of the candidates, Biden and Trump, are central topics in the national discussion surrounding the election debates.
