This award is just one more proof that mainstream media is part of new world order which newest project is to make multicultural shithole out of Europe.

That is disappointing.
I thought it would go to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (he was one of the finalists)

I think you can very very safely bet your bottom dollar that Vladimir Putin gets no points whatsoever for trying to do something about ISIS, from the crap in charge of Time Magazine. That crap is in bed with those who have been fighting terrorism to feed terrorism for 14 straight years now and their efforts were actually big long before that.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

In a TIME essay, Gibbs said the magazine selected Merkel "for asking more of her country than most politicians would dare, for standing firm against tyranny as well as expedience and for providing steadfast moral leadership in a world where it is in short supply."

Merkel started the year by standing up to the Vladimir Putin, slowing down the Russian president's attempt to seize Ukraine. Then came Greece's financial meltdown that threatened the entire European euro zone, but which Merkel handled with the firm, no-nonsense hand of a school headmaster.

You can person of the year even if you have done bad things. The idea is who was the most influential. On that basis she earned it. In the sense that she may have changed an entire continent forever.

Wasn´t Time sold for like 25 cents some years back? Or was it some other similar pile of crap that nobody reads? Have done my best to avoid it for as long as I remember so I´m not sure.

Time was more or less tolerable until the late 1990s. Then the editors began messing up with the content, as too much of left wing crap found its way in. The readership went on a free fall, and even now the circulation is declining. The Time had a total circulation of close to 4.2 million in 1997. And the current circulation is somewhere around 3.2 million.

Just goes to show you what a rag this once great magazine has sunk to, there isn't one person or group worthy of being in contention that was mentioned for consideration for this former honor. Black lives matter is a racist pathetic group of radical blacks on the dole and merkel has ruined Germany forever. I wouldn't pick up this magazine in a public restroom if they were completely out of toilet paper. They will be gone soon as they have successfully destroyed their readership.

If they like her so much I'm willing to give her to them for 50p Smiley. (Actually they can take her for free, if they do that quickly.) She's probably one of the most treacherous bastards in European history.

Is this the same Angela Merkel that the German people are demanding resign because she is such a traitor to her country?

Most of the mainstream media houses are being run by extreme-leftist liberals with sinister interests. So I am not surprised with the selection of Angela Merkel by the Time. The next generation of native Germans will remember her as a vile psychopath who destroyed the German culture and statehood, for some selfish motives.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been named Time's Person of the Year, praised by the magazine for her leadership on everything from Syrian refugees to the Greek debt crisis.

"Leaders are tested only when people don't want to follow," Time editor Nancy Gibbs said in a statement issued Wednesday. "For asking more of her country than most politicians would dare, for standing firm against tyranny as well as expedience and for providing steadfast moral leadership in a world where it is in short supply, Angela Merkel is TIME's Person of the Year."

The seven other finalists include Donald Trump, the Black Lives Matter protest movement and Uber's CEO, Travis Kalanick.

She actually did almost nothing, it was politic of stagnation. She always only reacted, after the polls already told her how to react.
With the refugee crisis she was acting for the first time on her own and guess what, she is failing.
