Time Magazine Names Slain, Arrested Reporters ‘Person Of The Year’
By Associated Press / December 11, 2018 8:55 am

NEW YORK (AP) — Time magazine’s 2018 person of the year are the “guardians and the war on truth.”

The group is made up of four journalists and a newspaper that Time says “are representatives of a broader fight by countless others around the world.

Time’s editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal made the announcement Tuesday on NBC’s “Today” show. The magazine recognizes the person or group of people who most influenced the news and the world “for better or for worse” during the past year.

The “guardians” are slain Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi; the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland, where five people were shot and killed at the newspaper’s offices in June; Philippine journalist Maria Ressa, who has been arrested; and two Reuters journalists detained in Myanmar for nearly a year, Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo.

Nope, and it is something he really wants too

Personally, I absolutely/positively LOVE that he's passed over ... AGAIN! ~

Even Hitler made the grade.

Back then at least women could safely walk home alone at night.
Now the orange one would grab 'em.

Maybe not if they were Jewish.

Hmmmph! The failing, low circulation Time Magazine is providing fake news once again. I hear subscribers are leaving in droves and readers are sending thousands of e-mails demanding "Name Trump"!

Shera, is that u?

I'm semi-retired but bored. I need a job that doesn't require a lot of intelligence, thought, effort or insight so I'm practicing to get a new career writing for American Dumpster. I've even added impending dementia to fluff up my resume.

Please don't forget to let us know how that works out for you, jim! ~

It is probably lost on him, but he should be so much more incensed that the journalists he disparages trumped him for the honor. Even one step further, he casts doubt on the killing of Khashoggi, denies any culpability in the atmosphere that led to the killings of the Capital reporters, praises the oppressor of Ressa and despite all the influence he has tried to have in these matters, the journalists beat him. They were named as the influencers of the Time.
