Michelle Malkin wants everyone to tell Time what they think of their “People Who Mattered” choices. Well, I’ve been telling Time that for at least two decades – by not buying their magazine.
Honestly, I can’t understand the consternation in the blogosphere over this annual Time “Person of the Year” edition. Some saying that Time was trying to be People or US. Well folks, here’s a newsflash: Time has a long history of “Person of the Year” choices which had emphasized celebrity over substance, and has been punctuated by some real boners, including Hitler and Stalin (twice).
I do agree though, that Time should have followed in their footsteps of 1956 (Hungarian Patriot), and chosen the brave people of Iraq, Lebanon, and Ukraine.
