Doesn't seem good for Turkey.

CNN:

"For taking great risks in pursuit of greater truths, for the imperfect but essential quest for facts that are central to civil discourse, for speaking up and for speaking out, the Guardians" are the Person of the Year, Time editor Ed Felsenthal wrote.

Good choice.

 

[Lavalamp]

Good choice.

Do you think this will pressure Ergodan?

The Washington Post columnist’s death has sparked a global reassessment of Saudi Arabia’s crown prince Mohammed bin Salman and the west’s relationship with the repressive kingdom.

Please.

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

Good for Jim Acosta

 

[Seano]

Atrocity in the ME is still newsworthy?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Seems legit.

 

[Trotsky]

Do you think this will pressure Ergodan?

Heavens, no. Nor Xi, Putin, MBS, or most any other leader.

I mean....I guess it could be seen as more persuasive than an official statement by the US government, since Time, unlike the US government, isn't mired in an ongoing history of supporting the suppression, jailing, and torture of journalists abroad.

Wtf that person isn't a transsexual non binary pansexual what kind of nazis work over there at Time?

Persecuted journalists in the modern age still being killed for speaking out against tolitariam regimes is a solid use of TIMEs position to draw greater awareness at a global scale

I'm looking forward to reading up about the others as I was unfamiliar with most

Do you dislike the other times it's been groups?

Yes. "person" of the year. Just do a special on the subject if its important, dont fuck up an award.

Sure as fuck would laugh if a group of men were "Man" of the year. What the fuck is the point in the name? Hey, 4 people get the Heismen this year!

Its an important topic, no need to undermine an award for it though.

 

[HunterSdVa29]

about as large a virtue signal as humanly possible

 

[Nameless Ghoul]

It just seems like a self masturbatory choice by the "Press" our pure as the driven snow guardians of truth.
