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

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? Me thinks the Fortune Editor has no idea what that word means. Que Inigo Montoya.
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.
Just give him the Nobel Prize and get it over with already
The left loves accomplishless narcissist whose only “talent” is spewing propaganda inspired by Satan?
Right up there with the mulatto-marxist-muslim’s Nobel Peace Prize, Fortune’s choice renders their award meaningless.
He can have whatever he wants, except my gun :)
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.
Shut Up, Wesley!
IS this satire???????
Sadly, I think not.
Pussy hat wearing, Tide pod eaters and condom snorters the world’s greatest leaders of 2018? If that is the case then stop the world I want to get off!
