there is no journalism in mass releasing stolen, irrelevant, and unimportant diplomatic cables or dangerous files like shopping lists of targets for terrorists to attack and afghan informant identification (names and locations) . perhaps if anything not garbage or disgusting was released he would have made it. this guy is a pos molesterer and murderer. TIME should not honour those sorts of people. he is scum.
Edit: MrBubbles person of the year is Commander Shephard.

Nothing you said made any sense.
I'd also like to point out that Stalin, Hitler and Ayatollah have been named Person of the Year. It's about impact, whether it's positive or negative should be irrelevant. Time just chickened out because they'd catch some flack from all the US businessman and politicians who have had their dirty laundry shown to the public.

Well just because Times named horrible people man of the year in the past doesn't mean they should continue repeating that mistake. The fact that Bin Laden wasn't named man of the year highlights that maybe Times has decided not to glorify terrorists.

Person of the Year isn't about glorifying the actions of the candidates. It's about taking notice of the people who have the largest impact on the world in that given year. If I dropped a nuclear bomb on the US, I made the largest impact on the world in that year. I've changed the lives of millions of people (for better or for worse) and I've had a profound impact on human history. That's the reason why Hitler and Stalin have been been given the title.
Also, when did Assange become a bad guy? The things his doing involving Wikileaks should be supported and it should be the people who are caught out that are punished and scorned.
