Reid: Getting TIME’s ‘Person of the Year’ Title Is Not Like Winning the Academy Award ... Hitler, Stalin, Putin Also Won the Title

EXCERPT:

REID: “But to be clear, getting this title is not like winning an Academy Award. It’s not like, as actress Sally Field said in 1985 when winning her second Oscar, ‘I can’t deny the fact that you like me right now, you like me.’ No. As Time Magazine describes it, for 97 years the editors of Time have been picking the person of the year, the individual who, for better or for worse, did the most to shape the world and the headlines over the past 12 months. In many years, that choice is a difficult one. In 2024, it was not. The key line, for better or for worse, is not much of a ringing endorsement, and we all know which one Trump falls under.”
