Others in the running for the honor included Nobel Prize-winner Al Gore and author J.K. Rowling

Time/Newsweek have become the Yugos of publishing. Cannot they hire some students who got better than a D average? (And boy, getting a D in lib arts is really, really hard. Usually, it takes being a conservative.)

Wow. Just wow. I’m pretty jaded, but even that surprises me. The MSM is the enemy.

of course that stability came at the price of their loss of FReedom of the Press.
Something just ain’t right about the press praising Putin for silencing the press.

Apparently General Petraeus, (Bill O’Reilly’s choice, as well as mine) did not merit consideration. Turning a lost war into a won war against a vicious enemy of America is not what TIME was looking for.
