Time Persons of the Year: "The Whistleblowers"...Ignores G.W. Bush

Fox News ^

Fox & Friends reporting Time's "Person of the Year" in 2002 is "The Whistleblowers", three corporate women who exposed corruption.

I guess G.W. gets ignored again. After 2001 and his remarkable handling of the War on Terror, he had a great 2002--high popularity marks and an unprecedented electoral success...but Time decides to go with the Politically Correct choice.

Glad I don't subscribe.

Would one you talented Freepers out there please create a modified copy of this photo substituting the heads of Linda Tripp, Kathleen Wiley and Paula Jones?

Now the vote is 2,590,300, with YES at 3.8%; and NO at 45.2%

I guess Time is too embarrased to record the votes of the other 51%.

[laredo44]

why didn't Time think whistleblowing was so great when Linda Tripp did it?

Quite simple, really. Linda Tripp turned ratfink when pressured to commit perjury. In other words for her own selfish reasons. These women did it because it was right and benefitted everyone. They were acting out of altruism. Now do you get it?

Yes, I'm being sarcastic.

It is a survey with only two possible answers: YES or NO. Their current results are 2,703,016 votes cast with 2.9% voting YES and 47.4% voting NO.

I'll bet they used the same system for counting votes that they use to count democRAT election votes.

If "uncovering the truth" is the criterion, shouldn't Ken Starr have been awarded the honor in the '98/'99 timeframe?

[berserker]

You think Ken Starr uncovered the truth?

The unfortunate point of these three 'Whistleblowers',being named a person of the year, is that EVERY TV and Radio Staion insinuates that because they decided to fess up during George W. Bush's presidency, that HE is somehow at fault.It's HIS fault and he caused these things to happen. Once again, I give TV another chance and I'm already back to turning it off and doing something else more constructive after work.(And they wonder why no one watches the nightly news anymore.LOL!)

Sheesh! "RADIO STATION" for gosh sake!

Live goldfish make great mailers. I had a girlfriend once that gave me several. When I found out she was cheating on me, I sent them back to her...
