According to Time magazine, I’m the person of the year. And before you get too envious, it turns out that you are, too. Why do I get the feeling that the editors came up with this idea the morning after the holiday office party? Sure, the Web now gives everyone the tools to generate content for the masses, but that doesn’t mean all content is created equal. Hell, I’m not even saying my content is worth reading.
And did the editors at Time really have a dearth of potential individual candidates? What about Rahm Emanuel, one of the chief architects of the Democrats’ rise from the ashes? What about the actual creators of YouTube? What about George Bush, whose war dominated the headlines this past year and was likely a major deciding factor in the elections?
I canceled my subscription to Time exactly because of this kind of milquetoast journalism.
