  • Thanks for being the sole voice of reason here. You laid it out so clearly and I wouldn’t be surprised if I was the only one to read your comment completely. It’s always odd to me how liberals in America get so offended and immediately abusive/dismissive towards anyone who dares contradict them. It feels like they would gladly tune in to Maddow every night to watch her tease them about another bombshell Trump tax scandal that doesn’t exist. They’re addicted to this drama, and they get every bit as furious as their conservative counterparts when you try to point out that they’re falling for literally the exact same fake scandal from 6 years ago.


















  • You have to admit the title “Person of the Year” does carry with it a certain gravitas, just by virtue of the way those words are used in every other instance. Game of the Year, Movie of the Year, etc are all superlatives - regardless of whether they can hide behind the plausible deniability of their own definition.

    They have nothing to lose by not putting a criminal oligarch on the front cover. Bet it made Time a lot of money though so, ya know, that’s what matters.

    This similar to how Rogan justifies platforming Nazis and conspiracy nuts. And anyway, it’s not really even “news”; it’s just a long opinion piece with facts sprinkled in.
