Fed Chair Ben Bernanke was named Time’s “Person of the Year.” In all fairness to Time, they don’t always pick people that affect the world for good. From this USA Today article:
Time says its Person of the Year “is bestowed by the editors on the
person or persons who most affected the news and our lives, for good or
ill, and embodied what was important about the year.”
However, Time gushed about Bernanke. They may have picked the right person, but they did so for the wrong reasons.
Update: I can see Terry already wrote about this– but my post is better.
