Greenwald Attacks Time For Person Of The Year Selection: 'A Meaningless Award From A Meaningless Magazine'
Glenn Greenwald ridiculed Time on Wednesday for the magazine's decision to name Pope Francis and not Edward Snowden its "person of the year" for 2013.
In an email to TPM, Greenwald, who has reported extensively on the National Security Agency's top secret surveillance programs revealed by Snowden, said that the selection was motivated by Time's desire to be "relevant" if only for a moment.
"It's a meaningless award from a meaningless magazine, designed to achieve the impossible: to make TIME relevant and interesting for a few fleeting moments," he wrote.

So according to the esteemed Glenn...Time would only be relevant and interesting if Eddie was on the cover. Well at least for a few fleeting moments ( sort of like Eds claim to fame). Why is he so mad that Ed didn't make the cover,in what he describes as a meaningless award? Glenn you seem to be contradicting yourself. Again?
