Little Debbie reject Greta Thunberg was named times person of the year... A child from an upper class Swedish home who skipped a year of school to sail the world in a luxury yacht and chastise world leaders for stealing her childhood...

The person of the year was not:

Hong Kong protesters, who risked and sometimes lost their lives fighting for democracy...

MMA fighter Justin Wren, who risks his life helping disadvantaged tribes in the Congo, rescued a child from bullying, and then took that child around the US to meet other heroes who also aren't Time's person of the year...

Mr. Jones for saving the lottery companies from unclaimed tickets to deal with at tax time...

Well said.

Mr Jones deserves recognition.

If she really believes what she is preaching, maybe she should go to Tiananmen square and proclaim her religion to the Chinese. After that she could go to India. But no, she chastised Americans who have greatly reduced their carbon footprint, and continue to do it day after day. Person of the year? Maybe spoiled angry entitled brat of the year.

The media pretty much has lost all semblance of credibility. Time has pretty much jumped the shark.

Meh.... private organization which can name anyone they want person of the year. If you notice they didn't ask any of you for your opinion on it.

They chose her for their own reasons (reasons which none of us will likely know). They could have chosen tiny hands twitler and that would be their prerogative.

"The media" is a vague term and that basically makes your entire statement worthless.

Everything you get outside "information" from is media. Yet you seem to think whatever information you believe on a daily basis is credible.

never stated who they should or should not have named person of the year... you may have let your own insecurities about our president sneak into my post...

What I did was simply point out the mindset of yet another liberal media organization whose hatred for the president has left them blind to reality...

as far as none of us knowing their reasons for doing so, that's laughable... everyone knows why they did it, even the liberals who pretend they don't...

A mentally disabled dropout child of actor parents reads a prepared statement (of which she didn't write nor research!) scolding adults into whipped little puppies for not kowtowing to the UN, New World Order and Agenda 21 purported "Global Warming", Climate Change" or some other yet moving goalpost buzzword to terrify the media into covering harder than Caitlyn Jenner getting a mani/pedi and wins Time's "Man of the Year" award.

Whoopie and seriously WGAF!?

She shares the award with Adolf Hitler, so Time's arbiter of character and worthiness means less than Eric Swalwell's gaseous explosion on live TV!

In addition to Opel's candidates that didn't win I humbly submit...

Nick Sandman, whom stared down the race baiters and hate driven media wasn't their pick.

Conan, the military hero that chased the cowardly ISIS leader into pulling the ripcord on his explosive vest wasn't their pick.

Boyan Slat, the 26 year old that has invented a number of ways to solve the global problem of plastic removal in our seas wasn't their pick.

When's the last time anyone has ever read a Time magazine? When's the last time anyone has seen a Time magazine?

Yeah. So there's that. What a year, where does the time go.

I only used twitler as an example of someone I don't like, but wouldn't care if they named him. It had nothing to do with any "reason".

You're the one in sentence two claiming they did this in some relation to twitler.

I'm not dumb enough to assume I know why a huge organization led by a large number of people with varying goals would do something.

Then define "the media".
Is breitbart part of your definition? Explain why or why not.
Is OANN part of your definition? Explain why or why not.
Is that moronic Prager U part of your definition? Explain why or why not.
Is the idiotic memes posted on facebook by everyone's racist uncle part of the definition? Explain why or why not.

Perhaps you should say things more valuable and you'll get better responses.

though it must be well over 20 years since I read Time or Newsweek with any regularity outside of twice a year at the dentist office, I seem to recall that Person of the Year (formerly Man of the Year) has absolutely nothing to do with positive accomplishments but rather the person, in their opinion, who was the most newsworthy...hence the naming of Adolph Hitler one year.

It would be wrong to equate the decision makers with pushing a liberal agenda with the award...I feel funny even calling it an award as it is so meaningless in real value.

Person of the Year (called Man of the Year or Woman of the Year until 1999) is an annual issue of the United States news magazine Time that features and profiles a person, a group, an idea, or an object that "for better or for worse... has done the most to influence the events of the year".

so everyone can put down their pitchforks and go home.

Any notion that this girl has done anything to influence the events of this year is nothing short of a liberal wet dream...

One could say the same thing about every single person mentioned in this thread except twitler.

And you still haven't provided an explanation for what "the media" refers to.

I firmly believe that with the exception of one that we're all better than a Liberal's wet dream.

further debunking the "liberal " tag, here are other "controversial" or con choices besides Hitler:

Stalin, Kruschev, Ayatollah Khomeini, Nixon (2x), Reagan, GWB

Little Debbie is gonna be pissed if she finds out you think she was chosen for the same reasons Hitler and Stalin were chosen...

Out of curiosity, can anyone name a single thing she did to "to influence the events of the year"? Other than cosmic brownies and fudge rounds...
