FLASH: TIME MAG EDITORS FOCUS ON BUSH FOR 'PERSON OF THE YEAR'... ANNOUNCEMENT SET FOR SUNDAY MORNING... BUSH [AND ROVE?] ARE ALL 'BUT A LOCK,' TOP MAGAZINE SOURCE TELLS DRUDGE... DEVELOPING...
Must have been a grim boardroom at TIME.
Well, and what is the significance and meaning of it? Or, more to the point, is there any significance or meaning?
Battered and bloodied, the MSM tries desperately to salvage its relevance.
This is obvious. Who has been in the news the most in 2004. This is no big surprise.
Won't happen. I won't believe it till I see it on the cover itself.

But it'll still be something bad about him, and there will be some reference to Hitler. He'll be Man of the Year because he was the most divisive, intrusive, invasive, radical, uncompromising, yadda yadda yadda.
Dan
Damn right!
Time to activate another suicide watch over at the DU.
It'll be fun to see the slant on this.
I guess the DUmmies will have to boycott TIME Magazine now.
Should be Kerry, Loser of the Year.
With all the spin the folks at TIME will put on the Bush article, I'll be amazed if their heads don't start rotating like Linda Blair in The Exorcist.
Oh how about this spin on it?
Adolf Hitler, Time Magazines's 1938 Man of the Year
On January 2, 1939, Time Magazine published its annual Man of the Year issue. For the year 1938, Time had chosen Adolf Hitler as the man who "for better or worse" (as Time founder Henry Luce expressed it) had most influenced events of the preceding year. The cover picture featured Hitler playing "his hymn of hate in a desecrated cathedral while victims dangle on a St. Catherine's wheel and the Nazi hierarchy looks on." This picture was drawn by Baron Rudolph Charles von Ripper, a German Catholic who had fled Hitler's Germany.
The Man of the Year cover had been a Time tradition since 1927 when Charles Lindbergh became the first Man of the Year. Ironically, Lindbergh was an admirer of Hitler and Nazi Germany; he became active in the America First organization which opposed America entering World War II in the fight against Adolf Hitler.
Not really. Time magazine is pretty irrelevant these days, kind of like Dan Rather and Jimmy Carter.
Well the DUmmies won't be alone in boycotting Time.
Is anyone still reading Time Magazine -- I mean, other than in doctors' waiting rooms? What a waste of trees. Their news is staler than last week's pizza, and the rest of their "content" is almost all extremely thin editorial gruel.
I don't know how much Time Magazine costs on the news stand anymore, but whatever it is - $2.00, $3.00, $5.00 -- surely that money will be better spent on lottery tickets.
Time Magazine is just s-o-o-o 20th century.
