Not a joke: Fortune names David Hogg and cohorts the world's greatest leaders of 2018(Gag!)

has a whiff of classic fake news: David Hogg and all his foul-mouthed little high school buddies who made headlines and raked cash from their calls for gun control in the wake of the Parkland shooting have been elevated to the number-one spot in Fortune magazine's annual list of the World's 50 Greatest Leaders.

Mike Allen at Axios got a sneak peek of the upcoming issue and reported it in his Vitals column this morning:

FORTUNE editor-in-chief Clifton Leaf: "If 2018 becomes the year that the United States finally begins to tackle its disease of gun violence ... it will be due not to the good sense of elected officials, but rather to the courage, tenacity, and sheer eloquence of students."

From the magazine's annual list of the World's 50 Greatest Leaders:

The students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas and other schools Bill and Melinda Gates, cofounders, The Gates Foundation The #MeToo Movement South Korea President Moon Jae-in Ken Frazier, Merck CEO

Yes Virginia, truth is stranger than fiction. More so since recent polling (if it even matters) indicates yet again that the position hogg breath and his fellow "leaders" have taken is not in the top 10 concern for most Americans. Possibly the only person that might be on the list would be Moon. But, I don't know who fortune employees or who decides who's on the list but it's pretty obvious that EIC clifton leaf is a clueless fidiot.

Quite an accomplishment for a gaggle of know-nothing chirrun.

Big deal. That and $5 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks (as long as you’re not black)...

Last time I looked, Time Inc had put Fortune up for sale. No buyer yet. Gee, wonder why...

eloquence

Eloquence? Me thinks the Fortune Editor has no idea what that word means. Que Inigo Montoya.

Awhile back, I got a year's subscription to "Fortune" for 5 bucks or so. Figured, "If I get one good investment idea out of it, it's worthwhile".

Fat chance. Rag was worthless, just a bunch of self-congratulatory Wall Street gossip. Only difference between it and checkout gossip tabloids ("Nekkid photos of Beyonce! Prince Harry cheats on his wedding night!") is a thin veneer of corporate pretentiousness.

IMO, of course.

Yet, these so called great leaders have done nothing to help mental illness. They’re the poster children of mental illness.

Right up there with the mulatto-marxist-muslim’s Nobel Peace Prize, Fortune’s choice renders their award meaningless.

When I was a kid (1975), my mom came up and offered up three subscriptions in some year because of a discount deal. One of the three I picked was Fortune. I was 15 at the time.

What I figured out after three issues was that they wanted to talk a lot about rich people, but rarely got into real investment knowledge. At the end of the year, I ended the subscription with them.

My feeling is that over the decades, they just wanted to talk about what rich owned for houses or what kind of boats they had...they rarely got into strategy or the hundred tricks to invest well. It’s a loser magazine....even forty years later.

Not surprising given its ownership.
