It's not the 'best person' though, it's the people who they think have been most influential isn't it?

So Peter Andre came third then?

No, they do it every year. They list the most influential people (regardless of why they're influential), then there's controversy over them picking bad people, which misses the point imo.

I haven't read it so I don't know what they say about him, but I'm gonna guess they don't say good things. I think people are able to judge him though without needing to be told to by Time magazine.

Yeah as Jamie said it's not best person of the year (Hitler and Stalin have won the award before) and it's hard to deny that the leader of ISIS is an incredibly influential person (even if he is awful)

I would have thought so at first too, because we hear so much more about ISIS obviously, but reading what they've written about her impact, I can understand the reasoning.

Ah, fair enough. Idk if I've said this before, but she actually has got to me the only centre-right politician I admire.

What's wrong with Time, it is a very well respected publication

[lostalex]

It;s not a pic magazine, i think you are thinking of LIFE magazine... Life was a news photographic magazine (also high respected), and they are owned by the same company, but Time is a legitimate news magazine with proper articles and journalism.

Old Abu certainly doesn't influence me - unless it's to reach for a sick-bag when I look at his evil ******* face.
