At one time the criteria for Time’s Man of the Year was based on the biggest newsmaker , for good or bad.
Hitler won in 1938,based on that.
Ayotollah Khomeini won in 1979,,also on those criteria.
In 2001, an obvious choice under those criteria would be Bin Laden. But Time decided to give it to Rudy Giuliani that year for his response and leadership after Sept. 11th.
Do we even care? They will use some liberal criteria to give this award .
