Moral and Intellectual Superiors
TIME, that tattered, shrunken revenant of a once-popular news magazine, continues in its endless decline to delude itself that it has either the authority or competence to name the 'Person of the Year'. Brilliantly it named journalists - 'The Guardians' - as 2018's
collective heroes. With Jamal Khashoggi given pride of choice on the once-iconic cover. TIME neglected to check on Khashoggi and now finds it nominated a Qatar stooge, whose columns were midwifed by officers in the Qatar government, and whose 'journalistic' career was but was a distracting pendant to his many more serious activities, laterally as an anti-Saudi lobbyist, nephew to the one-time worlds biggest arms dealer, and a host of other shadowy mesalliances.
