Time magazine on Wednesday listed “The Protester” as its “2011 Person of the Year.” If you happened to have been against anything in the past year, you're a winner!
Really? What a wimpy way out. I am not surprise because Time also has given this prize to despicable characters like Hitler, Stalin and the Ayatollah Khomeini. Or to something that isn’t really a person, like “The Computer".
Time never ceases to amaze me in the fact that the magazine continues to be a left-wing media source. ABC reported the event as in recognition of their demonstrations in 2011. Recognition? Yes recognition to the way they handled themselves, creating havoc in cities, drug use and other news worthy events. Wow, this is all you got Time?
With all of the ugly issues in the world, we still have a lot of good. You had to pick "The Protester"? Most of the people that are "protesting" do not even know what they are protesting about. If asked, the majority have no clue. If we are generalizing a group of people that made a difference in the world, what about the Tea Party Patriots? They changed Congress this last year. What about the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation who give about 3 billion a year to global causes? What about the millions of American citizens who give and serve every day to make America a better place for our children? No, Time that would be too politically incorrect for you.
Time Magazine, it is about time you take an objective look at the people in our world truly making a difference. Please take the cloudy, dirty and biased glasses off and look at the world the way the rest of society does.
Excellent post! The cover reminded me of the Time Person of the year "You" or the year it is "The Planet". It is a foregone conclusion that Time Magazine is a leftist publication (as is Newsweek). The other two labels I would put on both these magazines is tabloid and stupid.
ReplyDeleteBack in the 1960s the Hearst Corporation coined the phrase "yellow journalism" to describe the media outlets that reported material other than truly NEWS. Hearst believed that newspaper reporting should be conservative and blasted anyone who used a spin to show a liberal bias.
That was the good ole days! Today Hearst would identify ALL media as yellow. Well, pretty much all the media. I have to admit there are a few reporters that are "fair and balanced".
