Subject: Time Person of the year goes to....

RIP Logan ~B.B.

Time's person of the year is about who makes the news. Doesn't matter the context. Previous people of the year has included everyone from Hitler to Gandhi. Naming someone person of the year isn't sucking up to them, it is just pointing out they were very talked about that year. In an election year, it is usually the US president, many of which have been named twice, including Nixon, Johnson, Reagan, Clinton, and Bush Jr.

Anyone ranting about bias or complaining because they don't personally like the person of the year has no understanding what the point of it is. It's simply a measure of who made the most headlines.

Well he did win reelection in a really crappy economy. The last person to do that was FDR.

At least liberals support civil rights.



HAHAHAHAHA! history disagrees with you.
Oh? Please tell me how conservatives fought for the right for African Americans to be treated as equals, or how they fought for the right for women to vote, or who they fight for the right for same-sex couples to marry...

Martin Luther King Jr would like a word with you. Don't make the mistake of judging a group by how their vocal members are portrayed by the opposing media.
Dr Martin Luther King Jr was a progressive liberal.

Quite a few sources would disagree with that point, it would seem. Regardless of that debatable issue, my point still stands.

A quick ctrl+F of his Wikipedia article yields zero results for "conservative".

That's a pretty major stretch of the imagination. King was vehemently anti-war, was a vocal supporter of progressive taxes, reparations, and affirmative action.

Your own personal bias does not discredit the source, keep being sheep.

"Right now it is raining methane on Titan. The planet Uranus is, hilariously, orbiting the sun sideways while Venus spins backwards. We sit here on a planet marked with collisions, rocked by earthquakes, shaken by storms. A planet doomed to be fried in radiation as its magnetic fields collapse, until the sun grows and leaves nothing of the earth but dust. Here we sit, glasses on our noses, inhalers in our pockets, braces on our teeth, and we say "Behold the perfect ORDER of it all!""

If he's right then Glenn Beck's own (and blatantly made obvious) personal bias does discredit the source.

I don't have time to read it though.

Quality thread, Flood. Stay classy.

Hey Max, claiming conservatives don't support civil rights is like conservatives claiming all liberals are jobless hippies. Hey Trix, MLK was clearly liberal; caring about humans and being a conservative aren't mutually exclusive, so no need to be so defensive about it. Let's all go back to holding hands and being bestest buddies.

I haven't said the world "republican" once. I'm strictly talking about liberals/conservatives.

The Wonderful LeSieg!

Almost every president since FDR has been made man of the year once. Almost every president since Eisenhower twice. This is no liberal bias, conspiracy, trolling or whatever you want to decry it as. This is just Time doing what Time does.

Why does Time have to suck up to Obama?

They named him it back in 2008 - which is fair because there was at least some historical reasoning there.

Naming him again in 2012 is just silly.

Still doing historical stuff.
