Journalists have tainted their reputation in the last decade, they have lost their ability to report the news and seem more concerned with substantiating their point of view and less with the facts. Let them go back to reporting the news especially the on air personalities who view themselves at Journalists, many of them are even incapable of hiding their distain with elected officials and come across like a spoiled child who didn't get their way.
I find it funny that the so called "progressive" believes the USA MSM without thought or question, and will say or do almost anything to defend that religion.
As I recall, TIME's definition of "Person of the Year", is to cite who had had the greatest effect (for good or bad) on the headlines. Not on humanity, or world affairs, or etc.
That usually winds up being someone (or more than one) who has great effect on world affairs etc.
But this year, those who have had the greatest effect on headlines, are indeed the Journalists. In large part by twisting the news, faking it, putting bizarre and inaccurate descriptions of it, strategically leaving out important parts of it etc. And of course, writing the headlines themselves, which often have a very different slant than the story that follows.
The particular group Time picked out, was journalists who had been imprisoned or killed while doing journalism. That being a much smaller group that "Journalists as a whole", they actually didn't have nearly as big an effect on the headlines, as "All Journalists". So while the imprisoned/killed journalists certainly deserve great recognition, they don't deserve the TIME title. "All Journalists" do.
OTOH, if you're looking for the person who had the greatest impact on the headlines ASIDE from those who actually write those headlines, it is unquestionably President Donald Trump. Because virtually every headline written by most journalists in the last year, has been a long scream of rage, frustration, and hate against Donald J. Trump. He has by far affected far more headlines (for better or worse, as TIME says) than the next several contenders combined.
Did you read the article? You left out part of the title.
Journalists picking journalists as the Time's Person of the Year....LOL....especially Jamal Khashoggi, a journalist that supported the Muslim Brotherhood. Does anyone read Time anymore? I can't remember the last time I read any article from Time.
It's an actual shirt. It was sold by online retailer Zazzle for about 10 years before anyone had hysterical fits over it. (And just like every other spineless business, they caved when the left cried their crocodile tears about it: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ne...p-rally-944763 )
Only when it catered to the left's poutrage about Trump's campaign and win did anyone care about that t-shirt.
First reported by Reuters (who has been very well known for doctoring photos in the past):
Perhaps in a last ditch effort to get people to vote for Hillary, considering the date they threw that out there.
That people are acting all bent out of shape over it makes me laugh. That joke has been around for a very long time, but now they're acting like it's all "Trump's people" who are scary and disturbing. It's like these people have been living under a rock....except I don't buy into their phony outrage. They know it has existed, they know variations of that joke have existed, but want to pretend it's a new thing.

Perhaps it has been around for a while, but it has taken on new meaning in light of Trump riling up his base by declaring the media is the "enemy" of the people.
Suddenly, it's not so funny anymore.
