Different yet similar

Thanks to commenter Zag for drawing my attention to the remarkable similarity between the latest cover of The Spectator:

and the January 14, 2002, cover of The New Statesman:

new statesman

In both instances, isn’t the the main purpose to play on fears rather than to inform?

At least The New Statesman included a question mark. And its editor later apologized for the cover.
