Which led me to believe HE had been nominated. But it was Snowden who was nominated and as I thought, Greenwald is merely restating his opinion of the Corporate Media and offering his opinion as to why they would not have had the courage to nominate Snowden. Doesn't seem pissed off on his own behalf. That has always been his position on the Corporate Media.

Regarding Time's final choice, I kind of agree with it since this Pope has spoken out against Predatory Capitalism and admonished members of his own Church for their lack of Christian values regarding the poor.

However, if the award is based on who had the most impact on the world, at this point I would have to say Snowden but he was a runner up, so it's fine by me.

Seems to me at least that he badly wanted a win-by-proxy Blue_Tires Dec 2013 #8

Well, it seems to me he didn't expect it from Time but if it had happened, I imagine his opinion sabrina 1 Dec 2013 #9
