Time magazine hasn't been anything but a piece of shit since Henry R. Luce surrendered it back in 1964, and that includes this "Man of the Year" designation.
About twenty-five years ago, the magazine wanted to designate a "Man of the Decade," meaning the 1980s.
There was one man who was the most obvious, the most clear cut, choice, but because Time didn't like him, they named Mikhail Gorbachev instead. That was so blatantly biased even a blind man could see it.
